Story
When Özlem Cekic became the first Muslim MP in the Danish Parliament, her email inbox was inundated with hate mail and threats, and her gut reaction was to delete and ignore each abusive message. But eventually, she decided to take a risk. She started replying to each message and inviting the senders to meet and engage in dialogue over coffee. And with time, understanding, and patience, she began to make a difference, both in the lives of those who hated her before even meeting her, and in her own life.

Story
È vero che sono i più capaci ad avere successo nella vita? Questo audiolibro parla della fortuna. O meglio, del ruolo che gioca il caso nella nostra vita in generale, nei nostri affari in particolare. Ma parla anche di quella fortuna che, non essendo percepita come tale, viene scambiata per abilità: una confusione presente in molteplici campi, dalla scienza alla politica, dall'arte alla finanza. Quante volte abbiamo visto un idiota baciato dalla fortuna trovarsi nel posto giusto al momento giusto, dimostrazione vivente della "sopravvivenza del meno adatto"?

Story
Audiokniha představuje několik let uvažování o společnosti, přírodě a nás samých. První část se týká naší současné situace, která se ocitá na hraně mezi hněvem a soucitem, mezi ničením a tvorbou. Na změnu jsme málo psychologicky připraveni, a proto je nutné si vybudovat nějakou formu aktivní obrany. Dále se však ukáže, že pouhá sebeobrana nestačí, protože je také nutné být tvořivý.

Marcus Mosiah Garvey (1887 - 1940) was a Jamaican political activist, publisher, entrepreneur, and orator who founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1914. He was one of the first black leaders to encourage black people to discover their cultural traditions and history, and to seek common cause in the struggle for freedom and political recognition. He became a leading pan-Africanist in the United States, where he urged black Americans to return to Africa and preached solidarity among blacks around the world.

Story
Por el autor del éxito editorial "El arte de pensar". La presión por destacar en una sociedad donde "el infierno de lo igual" se presenta como una fosa de la que nos exhortan a salir. La necesidad autoimpuesta de las check-list como rituales de obligada ejecución para alcanzar la felicidad. La "ideología de la personalidad" que se manifiesta en forma de bulimia emocional, donde acumulamos y acumulamos experiencias para vomitarlas ipso facto en las redes sociales. La dolorosa brecha, que se agranda por momentos, entre el yo real y el yo virtual.

Dieses Buch ist der Aufruf zu einer neuen Klarheit des Denkens. Denn die Probleme von morgen können wir nicht mit der Denkweise und Philosophie von gestern bekämpfen. Wenn die wichtigsten politischen und philosophischen Errungenschaften der Aufklärung - Demokratie, Menschenrechte, evidenzbasiertes Denken - überleben sollen, müssen wir eine Lebensweise und ein Verständnis der Welt entwickeln, die dem menschlichen Wohlergehen verpflichtet sind und von planetarischer Gerechtigkeit getragen werden.

Story
În noua lui carte, Mark Manson își îndreaptă atenția asupra nesfârșitelor nenorociri care au loc în lume. Inspirându-se din cercetările psihologice legate de aceste subiecte, precum și din înțelepciunea atemporală a lui Platon, Nietzsche sau a legendarului Tom Waits, el disecă religia și politica și modul în care acestea au ajuns să semene între ele. Manson analizează relația noastră cu banii, cu industria de divertisment și cu internetul, arătând că, oricât de bun ar fi un lucru, dacă este consumat în exces, ne poate omorî—psihologic vorbind.

As a boy, severely disabled after contracting polio as a baby in working class Liverpool, Bert Massie found himself wondering why disabled people were expected to adapt to the world around them, and not the other way round. In his teens, he began to campaign for rights for disabled people, and having battled his way through prejudice and the education system to become a Bachelor of Arts and a qualified social worker, he became a prominent figure in the fight for fair treatment for disabled people leading to the ground breaking Disability Discrimination Act.

Periferia di Milano, anni Settanta. Gli anni del terrorismo e della droga, dei sogni di Oriente e di liberazione. Una mattina, nella classe di un Istituto Agrario, fa la sua apparizione Giulia, una giovane professoressa di lettere che parla di letteratura e di poesia con una passione sconosciuta. È quell'incontro a "salvare" Massimo Recalcati che, in questo libro dedicato alla pratica dell'insegnamento, riflette su cosa significa essere insegnanti in una società senza padri e senza maestri.

Culto della giovinezza, idolatria dell'intelligenza, ossessione della crescita economica, tirannia della moda: sono alcuni dei miti di oggi che Umberto Galimberti passa in rassegna per smontarli e denunciarne la natura ingannevole, mostrando come i falsi miti siano in realtà "idee malate", non avvertite come tali, e quindi tanto più capaci di diffondere i loro effetti nefasti senza trovare la minima resistenza. Sono i miti del nostro tempo, le idee che più di altre ci pervadono e ci plasmano come individui e come società.

"Todo sobre el amor" ofrece nuevas formas radicales de pensar sobre el amor al mostrar su interconexión en nuestra vida privada y pública. En once capítulos concisos, hooks explica cómo nuestras nociones cotidianas de lo que significa dar y recibir amor a menudo nos fallan, y cómo estos ideales se establecen en la primera infancia. Ofrece un replanteamiento del amor propio (sin narcisismo) que aporta paz y compasión a nuestra vida personal y profesional, y defiende la importancia del amor para poner fin a las luchas entre individuos, comunidades y sociedades.

Cuteness has taken the planet by storm. Global sensations Hello Kitty and Pokémon, the works of artists Takashi Murakami and Jeff Koons, Heidi the cross-eyed opossum and E.T. - all reflect its gathering power. But what does “cute” mean, as a sensibility and style? Why is it so pervasive? Is it all infantile fluff, or is there something more uncanny and even menacing going on - in a lighthearted way? In The Power of Cute, Simon May provides nuanced and surprising answers.

The lack of intellect has caused the mind’s attachment to spouses, children, wealth, religion, practically everything. The virus of attachment has reached epidemic proportions and the world is in a state of emergency. Yet none seems to recognise the problem, much less tackle it. The solution lies in a concerted effort worldwide to resurrect the fallen intellect. A powerful intellect alone would destroy the virus and generate peace and harmony in the society.

Hatred is often considered the opposite of love, but in many ways it is much more complicated. It also may be considered one of the dominant emotions of our time, as individuals, groups, and even nations express or enact hatred to varying degrees. What is hatred? Where does it come from, and what does it reveal about the hater? And is hatred always a bad thing? Brogaard makes a deep dive into the moral psychology of one of our most complex and vivid emotions.
