"O primeiro golpe do Brasil" narra um período específico e definitivo da mal contada história do país, com impactos até os dias de hoje: o golpe de 1823, liderado pelo jovem português recém-coroado D. Pedro I. Com o manto de imperador, Pedro fechou a Assembleia Constituinte, que propunha um caminho liberal para o Brasil, perseguiu aliados e inspiradores, prendeu e baniu adversários, censurou a imprensa, cercou-se de conterrâneos despreparados, alimentou-se do escravismo e promoveu os escravistas.

A empatia é um fator crucial para melhorar os relacionamentos e até mesmo aprimorar o desenvolvimento de produtos.

Este livro ampliará sua compreensão da empatia e ajudará você a se tornar mais sensível às necessidades dos outros, abordando temas como o que o Dalai Lama ensinou a Daniel Goleman sobre inteligência emocional, por que a compaixão é uma tática gerencial melhor do que a agressividade, e o que os bons ouvintes realmente fazem.

A inteligência e a instrução acadêmica não apenas são incapazes de impedir nossos erros como podem nos tornar até mais vulneráveis a certos tipos de pensamento estúpido. As pessoas instruídas e inteligentes são menos inclinadas a aprender com seus erros ou a aceitar conselhos. E, quando erram, são mais capazes de criar argumentos elaborados que justifiquem seu racio­cínio. Embora esses fenômenos pareçam desconectados, alguns processos são comuns a todos eles: um padrão que vou chamar de “arma­dilha da inteligência”.

My father, Oliver L. Brown, for whom Brown v. Board of Education is named, was a proud member of a group of a few hundred people, across the country, who took risks by taking a stand for what they believed. He died in 1961, just seven years after the case, so he didn't live long enough to know that Brown would become the foundation on which so much of this country's civil and human rights initiatives would rest. Brown v. Board became important for every citizen, not just African Americans.
