Ce un confine sottile tra cio che siamo e cio che ci permettono di essere. In un mondo che misura lamore e lodio, il corpo e lidentita secondo regole antiche, secondo bandiere e confini, qualcuno decide di attraversare la linea e guardare oltre. Humanus - La via della Pace e la storia di chi non accetta di scegliere tra due estremi, di chi cerca la propria voce nel silenzio imposto, di chi ama al di la del nome che gli e stato dato, del luogo di nascita o delle religioni. Un romanzo che scava nel desiderio e nella vergogna, nella carne e nello spirito, fino a rivelare che la vera rivoluzione non e cambiare il mondo, ma riconoscere se stessi. Perche esiste un luogo, fragile e perfetto, dove maschile e femminile si confondono, dove le diversita culturali si annullano, dove amore e odio si completano: e li, finalmente, si e liberi.

Há momentos na vida em que tudo parece nos definir pelo passado, pelas falhas, pelas limitações. Mas e se o que nos torna improváveis for exatamente o que Deus quer usar para nos tornar inesquecíveis

Ao longo da história, as coleções de arte foram muito mais do que simples acervos de objetos preciosos. No Renascimento, colecionar era uma forma de poder, prestígio e, para algumas mulheres, um raro

This daily journal was written primarily because I well knew that time would force the swiftly passing incidents and impressions to blur each other in my memory.Then want of leisure tempted me to send the journal home to friends in place of letters, and the two or three for whom I originally intended it widened the circle by handing it on to many others, until it has, in a way, become public property.Several of those who have read it have asked me to publish it in book form, and although I vowed that I would not add to the al-ready excessive number of books written on Japan, I have decided to publish this just because it was not written with a view to publication. It is this which gives it any claim to attention, and guarantees its veracity. To preserve its character I have stayed my hand where it has often been tempted to change or revise statements which may sometimes seem too hard in the softening light of distance.Days about which there is no entry were filled with work on my fossils at the University. Many evenings were spent with friends at dinners or dances.

A Princess of Mars (1917) is a science fantasy novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20th century pulp fiction.It is also a seminal instance of the planetary romance, a sub-genre of science fantasy that became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western.The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Chapter I: On the Arizona HillsI am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty.I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there is no resurrection.

Most people who want to change dont need a dramatic overhaul. They need something far less intimidating and far more honest: the quiet accumulation of small choices that, over time, begin to feel like a different life. Not a before-and-after. Just a gradual, almost imperceptible shift in how you move through your dayand how you see yourself while doing it.This book explores what genuine personal change actually looks like when its stripped of pressure and performance. It examines the inner patterns that make big transformations feel overwhelmingthe perfectionism that insists change must be total, the all-or-nothing thinking that turns a missed day into a full surrender, and the subtle shame that follows when the dramatic version of change doesnt stick.Glow Up Through Tiny Daily Upgrades offers a compassionate look at the relationship between small actions and self-perception. It explores how minor shifts in routine, appearance, environment, and attention can gradually alter not just how a person looks or functionsbut how worthy of care they feel on an ordinary Tuesday morning.This is not a productivity system or a transformation promise. It is a thoughtful exploration of the emotional texture of incremental changefor anyone who has grown tired of waiting until theyre ready to begin.

A messy life rarely looks the way people imagine. Its not always visible chaosscattered rooms and missed deadlines. More often its an internal experience: the low hum of disorganization that makes each day feel slightly harder than it should, the guilt of knowing what would help but not quite doing it, and the exhausting gap between the life you intend to live and the one you actually wake up inside.This book explores the emotional patterns beneath everyday disorder. It examines why structure so often feels like something that works for other peoplethose who seem naturally disciplined, naturally consistent, naturally togetherand what actually gets in the way for everyone else. Perfectionism that makes starting feel pointless. Overwhelm that turns small tasks into invisible walls. The quiet belief that a clean, intentional life requires a version of yourself you havent become yet.From Messy Life to Clean Routine offers a compassionate look at the relationship between inner state and outer environment. It explores how the resistance to routine is often less about laziness and more about unexamined emotional patternsand how understanding those patterns can shift the experience of building structure from self-discipline into genuine self-care.This is not a productivity framework or an organizational system. It is a thoughtful exploration of what it actually feels like to want more order in your lifeand why wanting it has never quite been enough on its own.

Most people who consider a break from social media expect to feel liberated. What they dont expect is the discomfort that arrives almost immediatelythe phantom reach for a phone, the strange unease of an unwitnessed moment, the sudden awareness of how much mental space the habit had quietly occupied without permission.This book explores what actually happens in the inner life when social media is removed, even briefly. It examines the emotional patterns that surface when the scroll is no longer available as a default response to boredom, anxiety, loneliness, or the simple discomfort of having nothing to do. The restlessness that arrives in the first hours. The unexpected stillness of day three. The complicated feelings about returning that most people never anticipate.Seven Days Without Social Media Challenge offers a compassionate look at what a short, intentional withdrawal from digital platforms can reveal about a persons relationship with attention, validation, and solitude. It explores how seven days without a feed can become less about resisting a habit and more about encountering the parts of yourself the habit had been quietly covering over.This is not a detox prescription or a case against social media. It is a thoughtful exploration of what absence can teachfor anyone curious about what their mind actually feels like when the noise stops, even temporarily.

The Murder on the Links is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie, first published in the US, in the same year in the UK in 1923. It features Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings.The story takes place in northern France, giving Poirot a hostile competitor from the Paris Surete. Poirots long memory for past or similar crimes proves useful in resolving the crimes. The book is notable for a subplot in which Hastings falls in love, a development "greatly desired on Agathas part parcelling off Hastings to wedded bliss in the Argentine."Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings travel to Merlinville-sur-Mer, France, to meet Paul Renauld, who has requested their help. Upon arriving at his home, the Villa Genevieve, local police greet them with news that he has been found dead that morning.Renauld had been stabbed in the back with a letter opener and left in a newly dug grave adjacent to a local golf course. His wife, Eloise Renauld, claims masked men broke into the villa at 2 am, tied her up, and took her husband away with them. Upon inspecting his body, Eloise collapses with grief at seeing her dead husband.

Psychoanalysis is a set of psychological and psychotherapeutic theories and associated techniques, originally popularised by Austrian physician Sigmund Freud and stemming partly from the clinical work of Josef Breuer and others. Since then, psychoanalysis has expanded and been revised, reformed and developed in different directions.This was initially by Freuds colleagues and students, such as Alfred Adler and Carl Gustav Jung who went on to develop their own ideas independently from Freud. Later neo-Freudians included Erich Fromm, Karen Horney, Harry Stack Sullivan and Jacques Lacan.The basic tenets of psychoanalysis include the following:besides the inherited constitution of personality, a persons development is determined by events in early childhood; human attitude, mannerism, experience, and thought is largely influenced by irrational drives; irrational drives are unconscious; attempts to bring these drives into awareness meet psychological resistance in the form of defense mechanisms; conflicts between conscious and unconscious, or repressed, material can materialise in the form of mental or emotional disturbances, for example: neurosis, neurotic traits, anxiety.

Most people never give themselves a sustained, uninterrupted period of genuine self-focus. Not because they lack the desire, but because the world makes it remarkably easy to stay distractedby obligations, by other peoples needs, by the low-grade guilt that arrives whenever attention turns inward for too long. One season. Thirteen weeks. It sounds manageable until you realize how rarely youve ever actually tried it.This book explores what happens in the inner life when a person makes a deliberate, time-bounded commitment to themselves above everything else. It examines the emotional patterns that surface almost immediatelythe discomfort of prioritizing yourself in a world that rewards self-sacrifice, the identity questions that arise when external validation is temporarily removed, and the surprising difficulty of knowing what you actually want when you finally have the space to ask.One Season of Extreme Self Focus offers a compassionate look at what a single season of radical inward attention can reveal. It explores how the resistance to self-focus is rarely about selfishness and more often about an unexamined belief that your own needs are less urgent, less worthy, or less legitimate than everyone elsesand how gently challenging that belief over thirteen concentrated weeks can quietly reshape everything that follows.This is not a productivity sprint or a self-optimization challenge. It is a thoughtful exploration of what it means to take yourself seriously for one seasonfor anyone who has spent years investing in everything except the life happening inside them.

Noise has become the default. Not just the audible kindthough that toobut the relentless ambient noise of notifications, obligations, opinions, and information that arrives faster than it can be meaningfully absorbed. For many people, the experience of genuine focus has become so rare it feels almost foreign, like a capacity that once existed and has quietly slipped away.This book explores what it actually means to lose focus in a world architecturally designed to fragment it. It examines the inner patterns that make sustained attention so difficultthe restlessness that arrives within seconds of stillness, the guilt of doing one thing when ten others are waiting, and the subtle but accumulating exhaustion of a mind that has forgotten what it feels like to be fully present in a single moment.Reclaim Focus in a Noisy World offers a compassionate look at the relationship between external overstimulation and internal disorientation. It explores how a constant noise environment gradually reshapes not just attention spans but the deeper experience of knowing what matters, what to prioritize, and who you are when the input finally stops. It examines how the hunger for focus is often less about productivity and more about the quiet human need to feel coherent in your own life.This is not a concentration technique guide or a noise-cancellation strategy. It is a thoughtful exploration of what genuine attention feels like when its reclaimedfor anyone who has sensed that the noise outside has slowly become indistinguishable from the noise within.

Imagine reading a newspaper article about your own field of expertise and laughing at its glaring inaccuracies. Now imagine turning the page and instantly believing a report on a subject you know absolutely nothing about. This bizarre cognitive blind spot affects us all.Known as the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect, this psychological phenomenon explains why we systematically forget the medias unreliability the moment they switch topics. In an era of rampant misinformation and rapid news cycles, this unquestioning trust creates a dangerous illusion of knowledge that shapes public policy, elections, and our personal decisions.Julia Hastings delves into the mechanics of epistemic trespassing and authority bias. She reveals the psychological triggers that make our brains compartmentalize skepticism, and how news organizations inadvertently exploit this flaw to maintain their authority. You will see firsthand how the human mind prioritizes narrative over factual consistency.Break the cycle of passive consumption. Discover the tools to maintain a healthy, consistent skepticism and safeguard your critical thinking against the seductive comfort of the daily news.

Why do brilliant experts often fail to solve problems that a novice can figure out in minutes? The answer lies in a cognitive trap that punishes experience. When we successfully solve a problem using a specific method, our brain physically wires itself to default to that exact solution in the future.This phenomenon is known as the Einstellung Effect. It is a state of cognitive rigidity where our existing knowledge literally blinds us to simpler, more elegant solutions. In fast-paced business environments and creative fields, this mental mechanization transforms our hard-earned expertise into our greatest liability, trapping us in outdated paradigms.Clara Bennett dissects the neurology of habituated thinking. She uncovers the hidden mechanics of how our brain conserves energy by bypassing lateral thought, and provides actionable frameworks to shatter these invisible mental constraints. You will learn how to actively unlearn comfortable routines and force your mind to see alternative paths.True innovation requires breaking the mold of your own experience. Master the techniques to bypass the Einstellung Effect and reclaim the flexible, creative power of a beginners mind.

When you walk through a supermarket or wait in a hotel lobby, the music playing overhead is rarely a random playlist. It is a highly engineered auditory architecture designed to manipulate your physical movements, alter your perception of time, and ultimately drive your purchasing decisions.The history of background music, popularized by the Muzak Corporation, is a fascinating study in corporate psychological control. By analyzing the beats per minute, volume, and emotional resonance of a track, businesses can seamlessly dictate whether you linger in an aisle or quickly finish your meal. This sonic branding is the invisible hand guiding the modern consumer economy.Nathan Cole explores the hidden science of retail acoustics. He reveals the data-driven strategies used to craft perfect soundscapes, demonstrating how auditory triggers bypass our rational defenses to influence our subconscious behavior.Stop letting background noise dictate your choices. Uncover the subtle art of auditory manipulation and learn how to recognize the sonic architecture that surrounds and influences you every day.

When Jesus arrives, Hades bids his servants to bolt and lock the doors, but to no avail; Jesus shatters the gates and enters. He seizes Satan and binds him in iron chains, then consigning him into Hadess keeping until the second coming. Jesus next turns his attention to the patriarchs. He raises up Adam, along with all the prophets and the saints.Together, they all depart up out of Hades, and ascend into Paradise.) The "Harrowing of Hell" portion of that Gospel was widely circulated in other compilations of religious literature, most notably in the Golden Legend of the lives of the saints, compiled by Jacob of Voragine in the 13th century. On the other hand, The original of this manuscript is deposited in the French war archives, in Paris; a copy was, with the permission of the French Government, taken in 1855. This document is supposed to have been written about the year 1765. In the remainder of this book, we would like to look at ten different visual depictions of the story.

Theres something both compelling and complicated about the idea of a final push. The year is almost over, the window is closing, and somewhere beneath the exhaustion lives a stubborn conviction that this last stretch still mattersthat what gets done in these final weeks can reshape not just the years outcome, but how the next one begins.This book explores the emotional terrain of end-of-year intensity. It examines what actually happens when a person commits to a concentrated period of focused effort after months of inconsistency, distraction, or simply the accumulated weight of a long year. The motivation that arrives sharp and then dulls. The perfectionism that turns a productive week into an all-or-nothing ultimatum. The complicated guilt of pushing hard when rest feels equally overdue.Year End Discipline Sprint Blueprint offers a compassionate look at what sustained final-stretch effort actually requires from the inside. It explores how discipline at years end is rarely just about time management or willpowerits about understanding the emotional patterns that have shaped the year so far, and making a clear-eyed decision about what a final sprint is genuinely for, who it serves, and whether the version of yourself doing the sprinting has anything left worth running toward.This is not a productivity formula or a goal-completion system. It is a thoughtful exploration of what honest, self-aware effort looks like in the closing weeks of a yearfor anyone ready to finish with intention rather than just momentum.
