Após anos de estudos para compreender o próprio comportamento, a pesquisadora e psicóloga Elaine N. Aron se tornou pioneira ao identificar a alta sensibilidade como um traço de personalidade inato - muitas vezes confundido com fraqueza, timidez ou mesmo “frescura”. Você se sente angustiado quando há muita confusão à sua volta? Precisa de um tempo sozinho para se reestruturar depois de um dia corrido? É afetado pelo humor das outras pessoas? Tem uma ligação forte com música ou arte? Então é provável que você seja uma Pessoa Altamente Sensível.

In The Outsiders, you'll learn the traits and methods striking for their consistency and relentless rationality that helped these unique leaders achieve such exceptional performance. Humble, unassuming, and often frugal, these "outsiders" shunned Wall Street and the press, and shied away from the hottest new management trends. Instead, they shared specific traits that put them and the companies they led on winning trajectories: a laser-sharp focus on per share value as opposed to earnings or sales growth; an exceptional talent for allocating capital and human resources; and the belief that cash flow, not reported earnings, determines a company's long-term value.

Aí você pergunta: quem foi o gênio por trás disso? O que essa gente tinha na cabeça?! Desde que Adão deu uma mordida no fruto proibido e foi expulso nu em pelo do Jardim do Éden, a humanidade tem tido uma ideia pior do que a outra. De líderes políticos obtusos e cientistas loucos a cantores pop que não cantam bulhufas. As 100 Piores Ideias da História é uma celebração das mancadas homéricas – e muitas vezes histéricas – que deram origem a guerras, afundaram países, arruinaram empresas, destruíram carreiras, causaram prejuízos de milhões e até, pasmem, ameaçaram a Terra.

Pergunte a qualquer cristão com uma noção mínima dos fundamentos de sua crença e ele não encontrará dificuldade para elencar os quatro primeiros livros do Novo Testamento: Mateus, Marcos, Lucas e João. Se essa pessoa já possuir alguma experiência na fé, talvez até saiba identificar quais dos autores eram apóstolos e para que tipo de público escreveram.

Neste influente e original ensaio, Murray Rothbard defende que o Estado nada mais é do que uma instituição que viola tudo aquilo que consideramos honesto e moral, sempre agindo sob uma falsa aura de bondade e preocupação para com o cidadão. Ele demonstra ainda como esse mesmo Estado devasta a liberdade, destrói a civilização e ameaça a vida, a propriedade e o bem-estar social das pessoas. Em A Anatomia do Estado, Rothbard consolida tudo o que aprendeu com as tradições misesiana, liberal e anarcocapitalista.

Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for three hundred years.

I spent five years saving up for a European vacation. But instead of drinking champagne on the beach, I get swept into a war of espionage between the humans and the fey. It turns out, I have a magic power needed to fight an evil fey king. I'm quickly whisked off to an elite spy academy in a hidden realm. There, in the ancient and gothic halls of Avalon Tower, snobbery and brutal competitions are among the oldest traditions.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Perhaps one of the most revolutionary works of philosophy ever presented, The Phenomenology of Spirit is Hegel's 1807 work that is in numerous ways extraordinary. A myriad of topics are discussed, and explained in such a harmoniously complex way that the method has been termed Hegelian dialectic. Ultimately, the work as a whole is a remarkable study of the mind's growth from its direct awareness to scientific philosophy, proving to be a difficult yet highly influential and enduring work.

The secrets, the lies, the deceptions are all part of my husband’s world, but the moment I chose to walk beside him, they became part of my world too. If only he would let me all the way in.
