Being invisible comes with great responsibility ... and great fun!

In the second installment of this hilarious unlikely-superhero romp, Stanley and Gene master their invisibility powers and face a mysterious new villain bent on their destruction!

Stanley and Gene have joined forces and finally figured out how to control their invisibility. It's obvious to Stanley what the duo should do with this newfound control—fight crime of course! Gene, on the other hand, is not so sure. When the only crime around is stealing a pen from the bank, fighting it isn't all that exciting.

But when a new pair of villains rob Stanley's family store, things get personal. Can Stanley and Gene track down the thieves and recover the stolen goods before his family is forced to sell their home? And who is the mysterious supervillain boss instigating all of this trouble?

These enemies-turned-partners will have to use all their powers and creative problem-solving to face these foes.

While it doesn't always make headlines, there is a growing recognition that kindness is vital to strong performance at work. In the broad range of leadership skills, kindness is inherently quieter, more personal and harder to see – and yes, less interesting or cinematic than controversial tweets and 'bullying boss' behaviour. But kindness builds empathy and trust, which ultimately creates a sense of psychological safety – and that safety leads to more creativity; a better quality of decision-making; safer critical thinking; higher levels of staff loyalty, flexibility and retention; a heightened sense of engagement; and, ultimately, higher productivity and profitability

يقول عمر طاهر في هذا الكتاب المؤثر: «لا أشعر بالأسى تجاه الفرص التي أهدرتها، يكلل الامتعاض نظرتي للفرص التي أهدرتني، كنت أدخر لها أفضل مما حصَّلَته بطريقتها… خسارة. لا أعترف بسوء الحظ، وأرى أن كل ما عشته هو الأمثل بالنسبة لقدراتي، وأتقبل وجهة نظر المقربين فيَّ بأنني زاهد وعدمي باعتبارها قصة نجاح، وأود بعد وفاتي أن أتبرع بجسمي للأبحاث التي تفسر الشعور بالامتنان. هل حققت ما أحلم به؟ ربما. لكن الأكيد أنني حققت ما لم أحلم به.» سيرة مؤثرة وعميقة لأحد أفضل كتاب مصر المعاصرين.

“ساعد نفسك لتعيش حياة أفضل. يؤثر علم النفس على كل ما نقوم به، فهو يحدد القرارات التي نتخذها، والعلاقات التي نبنيها، والأدوار التي نؤديها، والأماكن التي نعيش فيها. ويتأثر سلوكنا بشكل أكبر بتغير الفصول، مما يشجع الكثير منا على الوقوع في أنماط غير مفيدة مرارًا وتكرارًا… كل عام. في «عام كي تغير رأيك» تشرح الدكتورة لوسي مادوكس، المتخصصة في علم النفس الإكلينيكي، كيف تؤثر التقلبات النفسية على حياتنا، وتحدد المشكلات الأكثر شيوعًا في كل شهر، وتوضح لنا كيف نستعين بالتفكير في تجارب الماضي، سواء المبهجة أو المؤلمة، والاعتماد على الأفكار المبنية على الأدلة من عالم علم النفس – التي تعلمتها المؤلفة خلال خمسة عشر عامًا من عملها طبيبةً نفسية إكلينيكية – لنتمكن من تعلُّم كيف نعيش حياة أفضل وأكثر وعيًا وإيجابية.”
