Stretli ste sa niekedy so sexuálnym obťažovaním? Čelili ste sexistickým vtipom alebo nevhodným narážkam svojho šéfa? Boli ste svedkami útokov či urážok, a predsa ste nedokázali zasiahnuť?Zrejme každý z vás sa už stretol s určitou formou násilia alebo obťažovania. Možno ste zamrzli, stratili reč, prípadne ste sa len donútili k úškrnu. Práve preto čoraz viac ľudí, mužov i žien, navštevuje kurzy sebaobrany – aby v takýchto situáciách vedeli reagovať. Fyzicky. Ale nácvik kopancov do citlivých miest je len veľmi malá časť skutočnej sebaobrany. Tá sa začína oveľa skôr, než na vás niekto zaútočí – v ideálnom prípade útočník skončí skôr, než vôbec začne. Dobrá sebaobrana vás teda v prvom rade naučí, ako sa do takejto situácie vôbec nedostať.Manželia Jasmína a Pavel Houdek sumarizujú vo svojej knihe najbežnejšie situácie, s ktorými sa stretli jednak osobne a jednak prostredníctvom širokého spektra svojich známych a študentov. Popritom poradia, ako „čítať“ nebezpečné prostredie, ako sa nepoddať vlastnému strachu a v pokoji konať ešte predtým, než vôbec k agresii dôjde. Nečakajte, kým konflikt zaklope na vaše dvere. Je načase povedať si „Dosť!“

A professor of literature finds herself caught up in a work of fiction… literally. Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don’t leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she’s so set on going to her annual book club retreat this year—she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures—no matter what. But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like it’s right out of a novel… Because it is. This place can’t be real, and yet… she’s here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy store’s honey taffy is always sweet, the local bar’s burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. It’s perfect—and perfectly frozen, trapped in the late author’s last unfinished story. Elsy is sure that’s why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending. Except there is a character in Eloraton that she can’t place—a grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes, an irritatingly sexy mouth and impeccable taste in novels. And he does not want her finishing this book. Which is a problem because Elsy is beginning to think the town’s happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.
