Felicità è una parola di cristallo la più soggettiva del vocabolario. Cambia a seconda dei nostri valori delle nostre condizioni di salute delle nostre idee della nostra fede della nostra età del nostro rapporto col tempo e con la morte. Muta svariate volte nel corso della vita poiché a cambiare siamo prima di tutto noi col nostro orizzonte di desiderio. Definirla quindi non è impresa da poco ma può rivelarsi un’avventura avvincente. Il suo significato infatti apre mille strade e mille orizzonti. Per me è uno stato di estasi per te un momento di inconsapevolezza.

David Korten argues that global corporate consolidation of power is but one manifestation of what he calls "Empire", the organization of society by hierarchies of dominance that have held sway for the past 5,000 years. Empire has always resulted in misery for the many and fortune for the few. Now it threatens the very future of humanity.

In a fascinating tour of creativity and the brain, Nancy Andreasen, professor of psychiatry at the University of Iowa and the winner of the National Medal of Science, explores how the human brain achieves creative breakthroughs--in art, literature, music, and science--the role of genes and environment, extraordinary creativity vs. ordinary creativity, and the question of genius and insanity.

Here is the remarkable story of how this humble language took vigorous root in Eastern European shtetls and in the Jewish quarters of cities across Europe; how it achieved a rich literary flowering between the wars in Europe and America; how it was rejected by emancipated Jews; and how it fell victim to the Holocaust. And also how, in yet another twist of destiny, Yiddish today is becoming the darling of academia. Yiddish is a history as story; a tale of flesh-and-blood people with manic humor.
