In this ground-breaking book, Gillian Anderson collects and introduces the anonymous sexual fantasies of hundreds of women from around the world (along with her own anonymous fantasy).

«La parola "stupido" è entrata presto nel nostro vocabolario personale, a quattro anni sapevamo già che effetto fa sentirsela dire. "Stupido!" è un segnale d'allarme. Significa: attento, stai per superare una soglia psicologica che non conviene a nessuno, e dalla quale è difficile tornare. Abbiamo imparato presto a dirlo anche di altre persone: "Lui è uno stupido". Pronunciare questa frase dà sollievo, perché sottintende: "Se ho notato che lui è uno stupido, ci sono buone probabilità che io non lo sia".

O professor Hermógenes é o precursor do yoga no Brasil e foi pioneiro ao apresentá-lo como uma possível terapia para distúrbios e disfunções mentais. Isso na década de 1960, quando a psicanálise era algo totalmente desconhecido no país e qualquer desvio de comportamento, muito malvisto. Foi assim que surgiu Yoga para nervosos, quando Hermógenes percebeu que essa prática com mais de 7 mil anos de existência poderia mudar a forma com que as pessoas pensavam e sentiam a sua existência na terra.

For years, we’ve been told that being more healthy and productive is a matter of willpower: that we should follow the latest fad and make constant changes to our lifestyles. But whether in our diets, fitness plans or jobs, radical overhauls never work. Instead we should start with quick wins - and embed new, tiny habits into our everyday routines.

Thousands of books have been written about the latest and greatest diets that will help people lose weight and improve health. But a key element in any successful nutritional health program is a tried-and-true method that most people haven't thought about - yet it could be revolutionary for taking health to the next level. This ancient secret is fasting.

Most people want to be successful in life. And of course, everyone wants to be happy. When it comes to the pursuit of success and happiness, most people assume the same formula: if you work hard, you will become successful, and once you become successful, then you'll be happy. The only problem is that a decade of cutting-edge research in the field of positive psychology has proven that this formula is backwards. Success does not beget happiness.

Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it.

For the audio book version, Dr. Warren Farrell personally rewrote the highlights of The Myth of Male Power as a dialogue. The questions are similar to what others will ask you when you discuss these issues. You’ll have Dr. Farrell’s best answers. The Myth of Male Power helps each family member understand that genuine power is neither status nor money, but “control over one's life.” He documents that virtually every society that has survived has done so by persuading its sons to be disposable--whether in war or in work; and therefore indirectly as dads. And disposability is not power. Considered the Bible of men's studies—yet highly empathetic to women (Dr. Farrell was repeatedly elected to the Board of the National Organization for Women in NYC)-- the meticulously researched The Myth of Male Power takes the listener on a captivating journey around the world, throughout history, biology, the Bible, the law, and everyday life, challenging every currently-held assumption about men, women and the family.
