Peter Matthew Hillsman Taylor Bücher

Dass zu viel Arbeit schlecht für das persönliche Wohlbefinden und unsere Work- Life-Balance ist, wissen wir alle. Leider können wir den Faktor Arbeit nicht einfach aus der Gleichung streichen, um besser für uns zu sorgen. Aber wir können hektischen Aktionismus und unnötigen Aufwand reduzieren.§§Peter Taylor zeigt uns einen Weg, wie wir berufliche und private Ziele schneller und müheloser verwirklichen können, ohne uns mehr dafür abrackern zu müssen. Erfolgsstrategien für Faulenzer vermittelt uns intelligente Alternativen zu unzähligen Überstunden und führt uns Step by Step in das Konzept des 'produktiven Faulenzens' ein.§§Das Erfolgsrezept besteht darin, sich zuerst gedanklich mit einer Aufgabe oder einem Problem auseinanderzuSetzen. Fünf Leitfragen, die wir uns vor jeder Aufgabe stellen sollten, helfen uns dabei, uns zu einem produktiven Faulenzer zu entwickeln. Nebenbei lernen wir 'Nein' - das Lieblingswort produktiver Faulenzer - in fünfzig unterschiedlichen Sprachen kennen.

Taylors Plädoyer für »ganz gemütliches« Projektmanagement möchte niemanden dazu verleiten Kaffee zu trinken und zu plaudern, während kostbare Projektzeit ungenutzt verstreicht. Das wäre dumm. Was er sagen will ist: statt hektische Betriebsamkeit an den Tag zu legen, fokussiert vorzugehen. Jeder wünscht sich, die Aufgaben auf seiner To-do-Liste schneller abhaken zu können, ohne sich dabei krumm und bucklig schuften zu müssen. Die intelligente Alternative zu unzähligen Überstunden besteht darin, die Energien in genau die Aufgaben zu investieren, auf die es wirklich ankommt. Clevere Arbeitsplanung ist das Geheimnis aller produktiven Faulenzer. Peter Taylor vermittelt den Gedanken des »produktiven Faulenzens« anhand aller wesentlichen Projektmanagementthemen. Der Leser erfährt, wie er die Faulenzer-Techniken und -Methoden ganz einfach in sein eigenes Projektgeschäft übertragen kann.

Cities Within Us offers poems that are dense and deep with language that resonates at multiple levels and often startles with its juxtapositions and verbal explosions. From the intimately personal to the dramatically confessional, Peter Taylor's poems capture a purse seine of discordant voices, including a piece of type, a bee, an orang-outang, Franklin, the delusional and the abused in a universe that seems both unlimited and inevitable. Images and emotions move the reader from the disappearance of arctic explorers to the razing and rebirth of the Dresden Frauenkirche to the comic innocence of a child's visit to Mars in poems that explore the inner landscapes of imagination and reality, and the intimate capacity for joy and loss.

On the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, Peter Taylor reveals the gripping story of Operation Chiffon, a top-secret intelligence initiative that played a crucial role in bringing peace to Ireland. This operation was essential in persuading the IRA to end its armed struggle, paving the way for the ceasefire that culminated in the agreement signed in April 1998. Operation Chiffon’s roots trace back to the tumultuous early 1970s, involving MI6 and later MI5 operatives. Taylor, a legendary BBC journalist with fifty years of experience covering the conflict, provides unique insights through exclusive interviews with those who participated in this covert operation. He details the risks these individuals took—both to their careers and their lives—in pursuit of a fragile peace. The narrative not only illuminates the intricacies of the intelligence efforts but also chronicles the evolution of Sinn Féin, which transformed from a marginal group during the Troubles to the largest political party in Ireland today. As Brexit poses new challenges to the stability achieved by the Good Friday Agreement, this story of espionage and determination remains vitally relevant and serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities involved in securing peace.
