LCP12 Rules for Life : an antidate to chaos
50minutes
- 50 Minutes
- 9614615151104
A review and analysis of ? Jordan Peterson's best seller 12 Rules for Life.
Jordan Peterson's 2018 international bestseller 12 Rules for Life is one of the most talked-about nonfiction books of recent years. It takes as its starting point Peterson's belief that, by rejecting tradition and mythology, modern Western society is missing out on much wisdom that could give meaning to life. His book is an antithesis to the emptiness of much contemporary thought, with a series of 12 concrete, clearly articulated principles that have the power to increase our sense of responsibility for our own lives and enable us to find a sense of purpose in an increasingly chaotic world. With millions of copies sold to date and translations into numerous languages, the book's message has resonated with readers around the world and cemented Peterson's position as one of the West's leading public intellectuals.
This book review and analysis is perfect for:
oStudents of psychology
oAnyone looking for a sense of meaning in an often-chaotic world
oAnyone looking to understand the myths that shape our existence

LCPBook Review: Globalization and Its Discontents by Joseph Stiglitz
50MINUTES
- 50 Minutes
- 9614619681102
It can be hard for busy professionals to find the time to read the latest books. Stay up to date in a fraction of the time with this concise guide.
Globalization and Its Discontents by Joseph Stiglitz offers an insider's view of the role played by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in the economic crises of the 1990s. Stiglitz argues that the so-called Washington Consensus, a set of economic principles typically applied to nations facing crisis, were imposed on numerous developing countries with little regard for local conditions. Contrary to the expectations of most policymakers, this approach actually exacerbated crises, meaning that globalization ended up hurting the nations it was supposed to help. In the book, Stiglitz lays out a set of recommendations to harness the immense potential of globalization so that it can benefit everyone, not just a small coterie of financial elites.
This book review and analysis is perfect for:
o Students of economics and international development
o Anyone who wants to understand the inner workings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank
o Anyone with an interest in the true causes of recent global economic crises

Keen to learn but short on time? Find out everything you need to know about the life and work of Vincent van Gogh in just 50 minutes with this straightforward and engaging guide!
Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch artist who was active during the late 19th century. The primary subjects of his work were landscapes and the realities of rural life, and his paintings often reflected his own state of mind through the use of vibrant colours and curved lines. Van Gogh was an extremely prolific painter and produced around 900 paintings in his lifetime, most of which were completed in his final two years of life. However, it is believed that he only sold one painting during his lifetime, as his unconventional style did not become popular until after his death. Today, his most famous works include The Starry Night and The Sunflowers, and his work is credited with inspiring several later artistic movements, including Fauvism and Expressionism.
In this book, you will learn about:
o The artistic and cultural trends that influenced Van Gogh's work, including Impressionism, Naturalism and Japonism
o Van Gogh's most famous works, including masterpieces such as The Starry Night and The Potato Eaters
o The later artistic movements inspired by Van Gogh's work, such as Fauvism and Expressionism

Michelangelo is one of the most influential artists in Western art history, and his works, including his famed sculpture David and the frescoes adorning the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, are among the most recognisable in the world. As the creator of statues and paintings on a vast, imposing scale, who displayed virtually unrivalled technical mastery and interwove religious and secular subjects in a highly original manner, Michelangelo was a source of inspiration to countless later artists, including the Mannerists and numerous 19th-century French artists. In spite of his exceptional talent, he was frequently dissatisfied with his own work, and a number of projects were left unfinished at his death.
In this book, you will learn about:
o The artistic developments that took place in Italy during the Renaissance
o The commissions Michelangelo received from influential patrons, including several popes and the powerful Medici family
o His most celebrated works, including David and The Last Judgment, and their influence on later artists

Keen to learn but short on time? Find out everything you need to know about the life and work of Gustav Klimt in just 50 minutes with this straightforward and engaging guide!
Gustav Klimt was one of the most influential artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and helped to revolutionise art in his native Austria through his leading role in the Viennese Secession movement. Works such as The Kiss are instantly recognisable due to their use of gold leaf; along with elements such as the use of mosaics, the incorporation of allegory into his work and the overt sensuality of his female figures, this helped to inaugurate a new, less conventional style of art in Europe. Although some of Klimt's work caused a scandal and was dismissed as "pornographic" when it was first produced, his paintings were lauded abroad, and a number of them are now widely recognised as masterpieces.
In this book, you will learn about:
o The artistic landscape of 19th-century Austria and the emergence of the Vienna Secession
o Klimt's main works, including his iconic painting The Kiss, and the reception they received
o His influence on later artists, including Egon Schiele and Friedensreich Hundertwasser

50Minutes.com provides a clear and engaging analysis of the voyage of the Mayflower. In 1620, a group of Puritans now known as the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for America to escape the religious persecution they faced in England. Despite delays, tempests, food shortages, disease and discord, they managed to establish the colony of Plymouth. This settlement's success was due in no small part to the alliance the colonists made with the local Wampanoag tribe, and the harmony they initially lived in has been immortalised in the American tradition of Thanksgiving. Other colonists followed their example and flocked to America in droves, but this led to widespread conflict with the Native American population, and the true scale of the devastation they wrought has only been recognised in recent years.
In just 50 minutes you will:
o Find out about the religious persecution that motivated the Pilgrims' journey across the Atlantic

In the turmoil that prevailed after the Second World War, there was a strong desire in Europe to work towards peace and economic recovery, and the continent's political elites believed that the best way to do this was by working together. However, the closer international cooperation that followed gave rise to fears that countries would lose their national sovereignty, as can be seen in the shock Brexit vote of 2016 and the rise of Eurosceptic parties across the continent. An appreciation of how the EU came to exist in its current form is vital for understanding its achievements to date, the criticisms that have been levelled at it and what the future holds.

He went on to become the country's first black president, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution to the end of apartheid.
