La escritora, editora y directora de una institución Iolanda Batallé despliega en este audiolibro, narrado por ella misma, un relato íntimo y vivencial que va más allá de un manual sobre liderazgo. Es un alegato personal y liberador, emotivo, directo y lúcido que, con coraje, nos invita a vivir, a hacer y a dirigir lejos del autoritarismo impuesto, con la premisa del autoconocimiento como base de una gestión empática, eficaz y feliz.

Por que os seres humanos tendem a estabelecer relações de domínio e servidão? Além dos fatores sociais, políticos e históricos em jogo, quais são as bases psíquicas de tal tendência? Este audiolivro é um ensaio em torno de tais questões, tomando como eixo central o modo como se institui psiquicamente a autoridade e se forma o Eu autoritário. Sua referência principal é a psicanálise, mas não sem diálogos com a antropologia, filosofia, sociologia, linguística e literatura. Por meio desses diálogos, elabora dois conceitos-chave.

Max Weber hat in diesem Vortrag eine komprimierte Fassung seines umfassenden Werkes geschaffen. Themen sind Wirtschaft, Recht, Religion, Gesellschaft, Staat und Herrschaft und eine Fülle historischer Fakten. Dies alles bekommt seine Erwähnung als Bedingung für den Willen zum Beruf als Politiker. Es ist dies fast ein Handbuch Politik. Jeder an Politik Interessierte sollte dies kennen.

Am 6. April 1967 hielt Theodor W. Adorno auf Einladung des Verbands Sozialistischer Studenten Österreichs an der Wiener Universität einen Vortrag, der aus heutiger Sicht nicht nur von historischem Interesse ist. Vor dem Hintergrund des Aufstiegs der NPD, die bereits in den ersten beiden Jahren nach ihrer Gründung im November 1964 erstaunliche Wahlerfolge einfahren konnte, analysiert Adorno Ziele, Mittel und Taktiken des neuen Rechtsradikalismus dieser Zeit.

Max Weber gilt als Mitbegründer der Disziplin der Soziologie. Sein Werk "Die protestantische Ethik" war wegweisend, da zum ersten Mal versucht wurde, die ökonomischen Triebkräfte der Religionen zu analysieren. Ein faszinierendes Stück Zeitgeschichte, noch heute!

Die Welt ist im Wandel. Ereignisse wie die Corona-Pandemie, nur ein Aspekt einer größeren ökologischen Krise, führen uns die Verletzlichkeit des Menschen vor Augen und machen Angst. Sie lassen uns aber auch Zusammenhalt spüren, die tief verankerte Sozialität des Menschen. Wir nennen dieses Gefühl Empathie. Sie ist der Kern unseres Wesens und einer Kultur der Gemeinschaft.

Politik als Beruf war der zweite Vortrag der Vortragsreihe Geistige Arbeit als Beruf, den Max Weber am 28. Januar 1919 vor dem Freistudentischen Bund, Landesverband Bayern gehalten hat (nach Wissenschaft als Beruf am 7. November 1917). Max Webers Analysen regen auch in der heutigen Zeit zum Nachdenken über politische Zusammenhänge an. Der Vortrag ist längst zu einem Klassiker der Politikwissenschaft geworden.

Wie sehen die Deutschen angesichts der Corona-Pandemie in die Zukunft? Basierend auf seiner repräsentativen Studie erzählt Zukunftsforscher Horst Opaschowki in 21 Kapiteln von dem neuen Leben der Deutschen in der Post-Corona-Zeit. Viele Menschen wurden ärmer, aber nicht unglücklicher. Ihr Wohlstandsdenken veränderte sich, und Gesundheit wurde so wertvoll wie Geld. Zeitwohlstand und Beziehungsreichtum kamen als neue Lebensqualitäten hinzu, und auch der Staat strahlte soziale Wärme aus. Die Zuversicht wächst also wieder - auch in unsicheren Zeiten.

In "La società della performance", Maura Gancitano e Andrea Colamedici proseguono la linea tracciata da Guy Debord con "La società dello spettacolo" e da Byung-Chul Han con "Psicopolitica", rivelando come la condizione dell'uomo contemporaneo sia strutturata per sostituire al mondo l'imitazione del mondo, all'espressione di sé l'esibizione di sé, alla narrazione lo storytelling, alla ricerca del senso della vita la ricerca di un livello sempre maggiore di benessere e visibilità.

Guns, an American Conversation follows up on a handful of strangers - teachers and gun-rights advocates, hunters and police officers, mothers and fathers across the United States - brought together in a larger group of 150 people, for a monthlong moderated Facebook group chat. The goal of the project - which expanded on earlier efforts - was to foster a civil, yet honest, dialogue between people whose backgrounds and beliefs led them to have opposing views on the issue.

Are humans close to living forever? With advances in medicine and new therapies that prolong life expectancy, we are on track to make aging even more manageable. This new entry in the exciting Alice in Futureland series explores both the science and cultural impulse behind extending lifespans, and the numerous ways the quest for eternity forces us to reevaluate what it means to be human. Some experts believe that we haven’t fully realized our true human potential, and we are about to embark on an extraordinary evolutionary shift.

Parenting for a Digital Future moves beyond the panicky headlines to offer a deeply researched exploration of what it means to parent in a period of significant social and technological change.

In Digital Nomads, Rachael Woldoff and Robert Litchfield take listeners into an expatriate digital nomad community in Bali, Indonesia, to better understand this growing demographic of typically Millennial workers. They first follow their transitions into freelancing, entrepreneurship, and remote work, then explain how digital nomads create a a fluid but intimate community abroad in the company of like-minded others.

Conventional wisdom would have us believe that it is the size of your network that matters: how many people do you know? We're told to mix, mingle and connect. But social science research suggests otherwise. The quality and structure of our relationships have far greater impact on our personal and professional lives. Our relationships with friends, family, co-workers, neighbours and collaborators are by far our greatest asset. Yet, most people leave them to chance.

Money gives us freedom. It may not buy us happiness, but having it allows us to make choices.... The choice to live where you want. The choice to do what you love for work. The choice over how you spend your free time. But what if you knew that you would earn less than your male counterparts for the rest of your life? Today, being a woman means that you will. Few of us ever talk about it, but great economic inequality still exists between men and women.

As a young father and a self-proclaimed “radically assimilated immigrant,” opinion editor Sohrab Ahmari realized that when it comes to shaping his young son’s moral fiber, today’s America is woefully lacking. For millennia, the world’s great ethical and religious traditions have taught that true happiness lies in pursuing virtue and accepting limits.

Loneliness has become the defining condition of the 21st century. It is damaging our health, our wealth, and our happiness and even threatening our democracy. Never has it been more pervasive or more widespread, but never has there been more that we can do about it.

In The Power of Strangers, Joe Keohane sets out on a journey to discover what happens when we bridge the distance between us and people we don’t know. He learns that while we’re wired to sometimes fear, distrust, and even hate strangers, people and societies that have learned to connect with strangers benefit immensely.

Frantz Fanon's urgent, dynamic critique of the effects of racism on the psyche is a landmark study of the Black experience in a white world. Drawing on his own life and his work as a psychoanalyst to explore how colonialism's subjects internalize its prejudices, eventually emulating the 'white masks' of their oppressors, it established Fanon as a revolutionary anti-colonialist thinker.

This audiobook includes talks with Daniel Kahneman, Timothy Snyder, Nick Bostrom, and Glen Loury, on topics that range from the nature of consciousness and free will, to politics and extremism, to living ethically.
