Somos obcecados pela felicidade. É fácil imaginar que, se ganhássemos na loteria, explodiríamos de tanta alegria. No entanto, para Daniel Gilbert, professor de psicologia na Universidade Harvard, não é bem isso o que acontece. Quando aquilo que tínhamos idealizado finalmente se concretiza, nosso contentamento não dura tanto quanto esperávamos. Apesar da nossa obsessão, nunca seremos tão felizes quanto a imaginação nos promete. Assim como as ilusões de ótica que conseguem enganar nossos cérebros, nossos sonhos de felicidade não passam de miragens.

In middle age, many strivers begin to find success coming harder and harder, rewards less satisfying and family relationships withering. In response, they do what strivers always do: they double down on work in an attempt to outrun decline and weakness, and deny the changes that are becoming more and more obvious. The result is often anger, fear and disappointment at a time in life that they imagined would be full of joy, fulfilment and pride. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Over the past several years, Dr Becky Kennedy—known to her followers as “Dr Becky”—has been sparking a parenting revolution. Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn’t work or simply doesn’t feel good, have embraced Dr Becky’s empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritises connecting with our kids over correcting them.

We pile on “to-dos” but don’t consider “stop-doings”. We create incentives for good behavior, but don’t get rid of obstacles to it. We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don’t prune the outdated ones. Every day, across challenges big and small, we neglect a basic way to make things better: We don’t subtract. Leidy Klotz’s pioneering research shows why.

El secreto de la flor de oro es una obra taoísta china sobre meditación, fue traducida por Richard Wilhelm, amigo de Carl Gustav Jung, también traductor, en los años veinte, del clásico doctrinal chino I ching. De acuerdo a Wilhelm, Lü Dongbin fue el principal origen del material presentado en el libro. La traducción de Wilhelm fue el resultado de su presencia en China, donde aprendió doctrina china clásica de un maestro chino. Jung proporciona comentarios para la traducción, aumentando su aspecto "filosófico".

From an acclaimed Harvard professor and one of Time’s most influential people, this paradigm-shifting audiobook shows how almost everything we think we know about aging is wrong, offers a front-row seat to the amazing global effort to slow, stop, and reverse aging, and calls listeners to consider a future where aging can be treated.

In Fluke, myth-shattering social scientist Brian Klaas takes a deep-dive into the phenomenon of random chance and the chaos it can sow, taking aim at most people’s neat and tidy version of reality. The book’s argument is that we willfully ignore a bewildering truth: but for a few small changes, our lives—and our societies—could be radically different.

In Other Minds, Peter Godfrey-Smith, a distinguished philosopher of science and a skilled scuba diver, tells a bold new story of how subjective experience crept into being—how nature became aware of itself. As Godfrey-Smith stresses, it is a story that largely occurs in the ocean, where animals first appeared.

Why have we lost our ability to focus? What are the causes? And, most importantly, how do we get it back? For Stolen Focus, internationally best-selling author Johann Hari went on a three-year journey to uncover the reasons why our teenagers now focus on one task for only 65 seconds, and why office workers on average manage only three minutes. He interviewed the leading experts in the world on attention and learned that everything we think about this subject is wrong.

Michael Pollan investiga também os motivos de a maioria dos alimentos da dieta ocidental ser comercializada com destaque de seus benefícios à saúde. Hoje os comestíveis anunciam “vitaminas”, “baixo teor de gordura” ou “enriquecimento” com ômega-3 ferro, magnésio, soja ou uma série de substâncias pretensamente saudáveis, que variam conforme campanhas de marketing fundamentadas em diretrizes econômicas e/ou governamentais. Em defesa da comida ressalta que esse deve ser o primeiro sinal de alerta.

Todos possuímos tendências psicopatas. E talvez o segredo do sucesso esteja no nosso lado mais sombrio.

For several months, Didion recorded conversations with the psychiatrist in meticulous detail. The initial sessions focused on alcoholism, adoption, depression, anxiety, guilt, and the heartbreaking complexities of her relationship with her daughter, Quintana. The subjects evolved to include her work, which she was finding difficult to maintain for sustained periods. There were discussions about her own childhood and the question of legacy, or, as she put it, 'what it’s been worth.'

Identidade e subjetividade são conceitos amplos, com implicações ainda mais extensas sobre a vida concreta - sobretudo num momento em que tais conceitos são questionados ou reelaborados sob lentes políticas e ideológicas. O curso parte destas ideias para tratar, com base na teoria psicanalítica, como se dá essa elaboração de uma "narrativa de si" e como ela afeta, para bem e mal, nossas relações com o mundo e os outros. O que é o desejo e como ele se constitui? De que formas esse eu se fortalece ou enfraquece? Essas e outras provocações serão abordadas ao longo deste curso.

La meditación es una técnica que puede emplearse para experimentar la paz interior y que nos permite replantearnos nuestra visión sobre lo que nos rodea, incluso sobre nosotros mismos.

We're all familiar with what depression can look like, but there's another, lesser‑known face to this illness. High functioning depression (HFD) doesn't conform to the image of depression that typically comes to mind. As a result, people with HFD often have no idea why they are suffering, or what to do about it. In High Functioning, Dr. Judith Joseph reveals that what we’re feeling is not simply “negativity” or stress, and radically shifts the way those of us with HFD see ourselves, empowering us with five simple tools to reclaim our lives from this widespread yet poorly understood condition.

In this groundbreaking approach to the evolution of all life, Richard Dawkins shows how the body, behaviour, and genes of every living creature can be read as a book – an archive of the worlds of its ancestors. A perfectly camouflaged desert lizard has a desiccated landscape of sand and stones ‘painted’ on its back. Its skin can be read as a description of ancient deserts in which its ancestors survived – and, before that, of the worlds of its more remote ancestors: a genetic book of the dead.

Money is not enough to make you happy. We’re constantly told that money is the shortcut to a good life, the only type of wealth worth pursuing. But what would it mean to lead a truly wealthy life?

In The 5 Types of Wealth, Sahil Bloom offers a transformative guide, full of practical steps and actionable insights, for redesigning your life around five types of wealth: Time, Social, Mental, Physical, and Financial.
