Капитан Джек Воробей снова в центре невероятной истории о правде и предательстве, юности и бессмертии. Когда Джек неожиданно встречает Анжелику, женщину из своего прошлого, он не понимает – свела ли их вместе любовь, или же его просто используют для поисков вожделенного многими Источника Вечной молодости. Непредсказуемые приключения следуют одно за другим, и когда благодаря интригам Анжелики, Джек Воробей оказывается на борту корабля жестокого пиратского капитана по прозвищу Черная Борода, он уже не знает, кого ему бояться больше – свою давнюю любовь или страшного морского разбойника.

A young woman walks into a laboratory. Over the past two years, she has transformed almost every aspect of her life. She has quit smoking, run a marathon, and been promoted at work. The patterns inside her brain, neurologists discover, have fundamentally changed.

Marketers at Procter & Gamble study videos of people making their beds. They are desperately trying to figure out how to sell a new product called Febreze, on track to be one of the biggest flops in company history.

In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation.

Along the way, we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Ta...
