Pelle Lindbergh visste redan som liten vad han ville göra som vuxen. Den stora drömmen var att bli ishockeyproffs i NHL - och att vara målvakt i Philadelphia Flyers. År 1985, vid 26 års ålder, tilldelas han som förste europé den prestigefyllda Vezina Trophy. Han är nu NHL:s bäste målvakt och har precis tagit Philadelphia till final i Stanley Cup. Den 10 november samma år kraschar Pelles röda Porsche in i en betongmur i Somerdale, New Jersey. Det är här den stora drömmen tar slut. I denna nyutgåva av Thomas Tynanders biografi skildras ishockeystjärnan Pelle Lindberghs liv med hjälp av hundratals intervjuer från båda sidor av Atlanten. Vi får en inblick i såväl uppväxten i Stockholm, som proffslivet i USA, och dessutom framkommer nya uppgifter om olyckan som satte stopp för allt. I december 2016, mer än 30 år efter den stora tragedin, hyllas Pelle inför fullsatta läktare i Philadelphia. Han är en av svensk ishockeys absolut största - och hans tröjnummer har ännu inte tilldelats någon ny spelare i Philadelphia Flyers.Thomas Tynander är en svensk journalist och författare. Hans hyllade verk skildrar nutidshistoriska händelser och människoöden på ett gripande sätt.

'Brilliant and timely' - Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand WeeksFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Digital Minimalism and one of the world's top productivity experts, a groundbreaking philosophy for creating great work at a sustainable pace.

There is a way to create meaningful work as part of a balanced life, and it's called 'slow productivity'. Coined by Cal Newport, the bestselling author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism, slow productivity is a revolutionary philosophy based on three simple principles:1. Do fewer things. 2. Work at a natural pace. 3. Obsess over quality. Examining the stories and habits of ancient and modern scientists, philosophers, artists and scholars who worked in this way, Newport reveals just how transformative the slow productivity approach can be to producing a meaningful body of work.
