What was a Buddhist monk doing at the 2014 World Economic Forum in Davos lecturing the world's leaders on mindfulness? Why do many successful corporations have a chief happiness officer? What can the chemical composition of your brain tell a potential employer about you? In the past decade, governments and corporations have become increasingly interested in measuring the way people feel: the Happiness index, Gross National Happiness, well-being and positive psychology have come to dominate the way we live our lives.

This essential biography, by the author most deeply familiar with the vast archives of the Soviet era, offers an unprecedented, fine-grained portrait of Stalin, the man and dictator. Without mythologizing Stalin as either benevolent or an evil genius, Khlevniuk resolves numerous controversies about specific events in the dictator's life while assembling many hundreds of previously unknown letters, memos, reports, and diaries into a comprehensive, compelling narrative of a life that altered the course of world history.

A major new collection from "arguably the most important intellectual alive" ( The New York Times). Noam Chomsky is universally accepted as one of the preeminent public intellectuals of the modern era.

Obra mais emblemática de Hans-Hermann Hoppe, propõe uma verdadeira revolução intelectual contra a legitimidade da democracia como a entendemos hoje.

On December 16, 2019, Jerrold Nadler, Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives, and the full Committee on the Judiciary released an updated version of the Impeachment Report.

In this eloquent challenge to the reigning wisdom on globalization, Dani Rodrik reminds us of the importance of the nation-state, arguing forcefully that when the social arrangements of democracies inevitably clash with the international demands of globalization, national priorities should take precedence. Combining history with insight, humor with good-natured critique, Rodrik’s case for a customizable globalization supported by a light frame of international rules shows the way to a balanced prosperity as we confront today’s global challenges in trade, finance, and labor markets.

This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country. The Path to Power reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and ambition that set LBJ apart. It follows him from the Hill Country to New Deal Washington, from his boyhood through the years of the Depression to his debut as Congressman, his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, at age 31, of the national power for which he hungered.

最近、禅の本を読んでいて「これはちょっとよくわからないな」という表現がありました。禅を組んで悟りを開くと「世界を空間的にではなく時間的に捉えることができる」というのです。これが、どうもよくわからない。空間的にではなく「時間的」に世界を捉えるとは、どういうことなのか。 「時間的」に捉えたあとは、それ以前に捉えていた世界とは全然違って見えるそうなんです。「これは、一体どういう意味なのかなあ」と考えていたのですが、ある出来事をきっかけに「このことか」と思ったのです。それは何かというと、ゲリラ豪雨でした。 今は、スマートフォンにウェザーニュースなどのアプリを入れておくと、10分ごとの雲の動きが確認できますよね。さらに有料のアプリだとアラートつきで「今、雨雲が近づいています」なんてアナウンスもしてくれます。窓の外を見ると案の定、雨雲が近づいてくるのが見えたりする。それから5分くらいして実際に雨が降る。誤報もありますが、結構当たります。このアプリを使うようになって改めて実感したのが「天候は変化していくもの」だということ。 （本文より）小山龍介の「ライフハック・ストリート」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/koyama.html

世界はインターネットによってますます“村”化していきます。こうした世界において、いよいよ重要になるのが、自律という問題です。 私たちは他人の気分に惑わされることなく、現実を見なければいけない。“村”社会のバイアスを取り払う必要があります。 行動経済学の第一人者・ダニエル・カーネマンが書いた『ファスト&スロー』という本が話題となっています。この本では、人の思考を〈システム1〉と〈システム2〉にわけて解説しています。 〈システム1〉は直感的な思考、〈システム2〉は論理的で合理的な思考です。 〈システム1〉はすばやく反応することができますが、認知バイアスに影響されます。一方、〈システム2〉は、時間がかかり怠けたがる性質をもっています。ちゃんと気力があり、集中力をもっているときには、〈システム1〉のもつバイアスを〈システム2〉がチェックしてくれますが、疲れていたり、注意をそらされているとチェックが働きません。その結果、バイアスによって認知が歪められてしまうのです。（本文より） 小山龍介　「ライフハック・ストリート」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/koyama.html

The Berlin Wall was erected in 1961 to end all traffic between the city’s two halves: the democratic west and the communist east. The iconic symbol of a divided Europe, the Wall became a focus of western political pressure on East Germany; as Ronald Reagan’s famously said in a 1987 speech in Berlin, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

As president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister was known for being a straight shooter, willing to challenge his peers throughout the industry.

China und Russland, Iran oder auch die Türkei – Autokraten nutzen im Kampf der Systeme eine Vielzahl von Strategien, um westliche Demokratien systematisch auszuhöhlen. Ihre neue Form eines stillen und verdeckten, aber effektiven Hybridkriegs hat längst die Bundesrepublik erreicht. Nach ihrem SPIEGEL-Bestseller Die Moskau-Connection zeichnen die beiden FAZ-Journalisten Reinhard Bingener und Markus Wehner in ihrem neuen Werk nach, wie die bedrohliche Achse autokratischer Staaten Deutschland angreift und welche Gefahren davon für unsere Gesellschaft und Institutionen ausgehen.

"Política e religião sempre andaram juntas: na Pré-história, na Antiguidade, desde sempre e até hoje, mesmo que sob formas não tão evidentes." "O cotidiano saturado de políticas permeadas pelas guerras culturais tem vocação beligerante contínua." "Seja lá o que for a ‘verdade’, ela nunca interessou à democracia na construção cotidiana do poder." "O homem comum não se preocupa muito com liberdade de expressão e troca facilmente qualquer regime por uma janta melhor. É um fetiche achar que o homem comum ama a democracia."

Negli anni della Guerra fredda il rapporto tra l’Italia e gli Stati Uniti assume una valenza decisiva, su ogni altra considerazione prevale l’interesse degli americani per la stabilità di un Paese alleato che riveste una funzione strategica nel quadro degli equilibri geopolitici internazionali. Poi, dopo l’Ottantanove l’approccio degli Usa si modifica, e con le prime avvisaglie di Mani pulite matura il convincimento che vada esaurendosi la spinta propulsiva delle forze politiche tradizionali.

Em 15 de janeiro de 2009, o mundo testemunhou um pouso de emergência notável quando o comandante Chesley Sullenberger, um piloto com mais de vinte mil horas de voo, habilidosamente deslizou o avião da US Airways sobre o rio Hudson, em Manhattan, salvando todas as 155 vidas a bordo. Poucos minutos depois de decolar do aeroporto LaGuardia, o voo 1549 ganhava altitude quando a fuselagem estremeceu. Ao colidir com um bando de pássaros, o avião perdeu ambos os motores. O sangue-frio do piloto não apenas evitou uma enorme tragédia, mas o transformou em herói.

No dia 15 de novembro de 1889, no Campo de Santana, no centro do Rio de Janeiro, o marechal Deodoro proclamava o início da nossa República. Éramos à época um país que havia abolido a escravidão recentemente, com a população de apenas 14 milhões de habitantes, dos quais 82% eram analfabetos e 90% viviam em áreas rurais.

Ao longo de dez lições, o apresentador da CNN e autor best-seller Fareed Zakaria convida o ouvinte a compreender melhor a natureza de um mundo pós-pandemia: as consequências políticas, sociais, tecnológicas e econômicas que em outras circunstâncias levariam anos para ocorrer.

Chi ha paura della libertà d’espressione? Paola Mastrocola e Luca Ricolfi cercano la risposta a una domanda che si è insinuata pericolosamente nelle nostre vite. La censura autoritaria di un tempo si è trasformata in un follemente corretto che piega la lingua alle mode del momento, tra parole innocenti messe sotto accusa e surreali neologismi "inclusivi", e in una cultura della cancellazione che rilegge il passato con lo sguardo di oggi.

Desde as grandes manifestações de 2013, boa parte dos brasileiros possui uma única pergunta: o que está acontecendo com o país? Muitas pessoas se sentem em um trem desgovernado por causa de transformações profundas que o Brasil sofreu nos últimos anos, sem saber como dar sentido, viver e combater o caos diário.
