E se a fé que exibimos fosse apenas uma máscara?Em Desfariseis, somos confrontados com o convite doloroso e libertador de despir o farisaísmo que habita em cada um de nós. Entre metáforas afiadas e reflexes profundas, o autor revela o percurso intimo de quem decide abandonar a religiosidade vazia para reencontrar a essencia viva do evangelho.O caminho do "desfarisar" e arido, incomodo e, muitas vezes, solitario como uma ferida que sangra antes de cicatrizar. Ainda assim, e no atrito com a verdade que a alma encontra seu verdadeiro altar.Este livro e um convite ao autoconfronto: quem somos diante de Deus, quando ninguem nos observa? Ao atravessar desertos interiores, revisitar altares pessoais e reavaliar cada gesto, o leitor sera instigado a trocar a aparencia pela autenticidade, o ritual pelo relacionamento e a culpa pela graça.Desfariseis no oferece respostas faceis, mas prope uma jornada corajosa: rasgar as vestes da hipocrisia e vestir-se de vulnerabilidade. Afinal, apenas quem ousa se despir das proprias mascaras encontra a liberdade que cura e a verdade que liberta.

"Except ye see signs and wonders,ye will not believe."-John 4:48.The value of Yoganandas Autobiography is greatly enhanced by the fact that it is one of the few books in English about the wise men of India which has been written, not by a journalist or foreigner, but by one of their own race and trainingin short, a book about yogis by a yogi.As an eyewitness recountal of the extraordinary lives and powers of modern Hindu saints, the book has importance both timely and timeless. To its illustrious author, whom I have had the pleasure of knowing both in India and America, may every reader render due appreciation and gratitude.

A likeness of the venerable saint appeared as part of the frontispiece of my Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines.

When the old Chicago cut loose from her moorings in an Atlantic port it was a red letter day for me. She was a good sized craft, of the French Line, and was to carry a lot of other Ameri-cans, besides myself, from the United States to France. We were all in a spirit of expectancy, mingled perhaps with sadness, for we were going over to see and have a hand in the most stu-pendous event of history, the Great War. Although many dif-ferent motives actuated us, our destination was the same, and all of us would soon be within striking distance of the scene of action.Some of those on board were going primarily from a sense of duty and gratitude to the great European Republic, whose men had come over here in 76 to help America kick off the chains which George III had welded on her ankles, and secondarily, because they wanted to kill a few of the Germans whom they right well hated.Others were going, and made no bones about saying so, be-cause they were natural born soldiers of fortune and were in-clined to go anywhere that action and excitement were likely to be found. A few were to be mere onlookers who were crossing the sea as students of a great world movement, who, from an eco

The following Essay owes its origin to a conversation with a friend, on the subject of Mr Godwins essay on avarice and profusion, in his Enquirer. The discussion started the general question of the future improvement of society, and the Author at first sat down with an intention of merely stating his thoughts to his friend, upon paper, in a clearer manner than he thought he could do in conversation. But as the subject opened upon him, some ideas occurred, which he did not recollect to have met with before; and as he conceived that every least light, on a topic so generally interesting, might be received with candour, he determined to put his thoughts in a form for publication.The Essay might, undoubtedly, have been rendered much more complete by a collection of a greater number of facts in elucidation of the general argument. But a long and almost total interruption from very particular business, joined to a desire (perhaps imprudent) of not delaying the publication much beyond the time that he originally proposed, prevented the Author from giving to the subject an undivided attention. He presumes, however, that the facts which he has adduced will be found to form no inconside

Such a deed is possible to you, to me, to everybody. It is frequently performed without forethought or definite intention. It is the spontaneous manifestation of nobility, somewhere, of mind or heart. It may consist merely in the doing of some kind and helpful service at home or at school. It may be an unexpected test of heroism a warning of danger, a saving of somebodys life. It may be an act of benevolence, or a series of such acts, world-wide in application and results.This little volume is only a book of samples. Here are specimens of golden deeds of various kinds and of different degrees of merit, ranging from the unpremeditated saving of a railroad train to the great humanitarian movement which carries blessings to all mankind. To attempt to tell of every such deed, or of every one that is eminently worthy, would fill a multitude of books.The, examples which I have chosen are such only as have occurred on American soil, or have been performed by Americans, thus distinguishing the volume from Miss Charlotte Yonges "Book of Golden Deeds," published for English readers fifty years ago.

In modern democracies, tolerance is heralded as the ultimate moral virtue. We are taught to be open to all ideas, platforms, and beliefs. Yet, in 1945, philosopher Karl Popper identified a catastrophic logical flaw in this absolute worldview: The Paradox of Tolerance. If a society is completely tolerant without limits, its ability to be tolerant will eventually be seized and destroyed by the intolerant.This striking political analysis examines the mechanics of democratic collapse. By extending free speech and unconditional protection to extremist ideologies that actively seek to abolish those very freedoms, an open society essentially hands the executioner the axe. The book uses historical evidencefrom the fall of the Weimar Republic to modern digital echo chambersto prove that intolerance thrives under the protective shield of absolute openness.The narrative challenges the comfortable illusions of pacifism. It dissects the uncomfortable truth that a society must reserve the right to be highly intolerant of intolerance to survive.Redefine your political philosophy. This book argues that defending freedom requires drawing a hard, unapologetic line in the sand before the system is weaponized against itself.

In April 2020, Quibi launched as the ultimate revolution in mobile entertainment. Backed by $1.7 billion in funding and led by Hollywood royalty and Silicon Valley veterans, it promised high-end, 10-minute shows designed specifically to be watched on smartphones. Just six months later, the company spectacularly collapsed, shutting down entirely.This business autopsy dissects one of the most expensive and rapid failures in corporate history. The book reveals how Quibi fundamentally misunderstood the mechanics of its own target audience. The executives assumed they could simply shrink traditional television formats and force consumers to pay for it, completely ignoring that platforms like TikTok and YouTube were already dominating the "short-burst" mobile market for free.By breaking down the disastrous misallocation of capital, the rigid refusal to allow users to share content on social media, and the arrogance of ignoring initial market feedback, the narrative provides a masterclass in what not to do.Learn the dangers of top-down innovation. This case study proves that unlimited funding and star power are completely useless if you fundamentally misread the psychological context of how your product is consumed.
