"The Glass Delusion When people believed they were made of glass" explores a specific psychiatric disorder that plagued Europe in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Sufferers were convinced their bodies were made of glass and that any touch would cause them to shatter into pieces. The most famous patient was King Charles VI of France, who wrapped himself in thick blankets and put iron rods in his clothes to prevent breaking.Medical historian Charles Shatter investigates the cultural roots of this delusion. It appeared exactly when clear glass was becoming a new, magical, and fragile luxury item. The mind latched onto this new material to express feelings of fragility and transparency."The Glass Delusion" is a fascinating study of how mental illness mirrors the technology of its time (just as people today believe they are being tracked by microchips). It is a poetic look at the human fear of being broken.

We make thousands of decisions every day, usually driven by immediate needs or fears. In "The Backward View," psychologist Sarah Prentiss proposes a different metric: the perspective of your 80-year-old self. Prentiss formalizes the "Regret Minimization Framework," popularized by Jeff Bezos, into a comprehensive psychological tool for life planning.Drawing on interviews with elderly hospice patients and behavioral science research on "anticipatory regret," Prentiss shows that people rarely regret the things they tried and failed at; they regret the inactionsthe words not spoken, the businesses not started, the trips not taken.The book teaches readers how to project themselves into the future to bypass current anxieties. It offers exercises to distinguish between "process regret" (I made a mistake) and "outcome regret" (it didnt work out), arguing that only the former matters. "The Backward View" is a guide to living with intentionality, ensuring that when you reach the end of the tape, you like the movie you just watched.

Emotional flashbacks dont announce themselves. Theres no clear memory, no obvious trigger. You just suddenly feel small, powerless, or overwhelmed in ways that dont match whats actually happening. Your body responds to the present as if its the past. A tone of voice, a feeling of exclusion, a moment of criticismand youre back in emotional territory you thought youd left behind.This book explores why emotional flashbacks happen, examining how the nervous system stores childhood experiences not as narrative memory but as felt sense. It draws on trauma research and attachment theory to explain why certain situations activate old survival responses, why you might feel shame or terror that seems disproportionate, and why logical understanding doesnt always change emotional reaction.Rather than pathologizing these responses or demanding you "get over" the past, it examines what happens when childhood coping strategies persist into adulthood. It explores the gap between intellectual awareness and somatic responserecognizing that your body remembers what your mind has forgotten, and that intense reactions arent overreactions but old protections still running in the background.For those whove felt confused by their own emotional intensity, who recognize patterns but cant seem to change them, or who wonder why certain situations feel unbearable, this book offers clarity about how the past lives in the presentand what that means for healing.

"The Winter Slump Surviving the psychological crash just past the halfway point" investigates the "Third Quarter Phenomenon." Research on polar explorers, submarine crews, and astronauts reveals a consistent pattern: Morale doesnt drop at the beginning or the end of a mission, but exactly in the third quarter. It is the moment when the novelty has faded, but the end is not yet in sight.Author Rachel Snow applies this finding to everyday life. Whether it is the middle of a project, a semester, or a pandemic, the third quarter is where humans are biologically programmed to become irritable, depressed, and prone to conflict."The Winter Slump" provides a survival manual for this specific phase of endurance. It teaches readers to recognize the "hump" as a biological inevitability rather than a personal failure, offering tools to maintain momentum when the finish line feels furthest away.

"The Trap of Thanks When gratitude becomes a way to silence your pain" challenges the modern wellness obsession with being grateful. While gratitude can be healthy, this book argues it is often weaponized as "Toxic Gratitude"a tool to suppress valid negative emotions. Telling someone (or yourself) to "just be grateful it isnt worse" is a form of gaslighting that invalidates trauma and prevents necessary change.Therapist Joyce Miller explains that true resilience requires facing reality, not sugarcoating it with "hashtags of thankfulness." The book illustrates how forced gratitude keeps people in abusive relationships and bad jobs because they feel guilty for wanting more. It advocates for "Integrative Appreciation," which allows space for grief and anger alongside thankfulness."The Trap of Thanks" gives readers permission to stop counting blessings when they are suffering. It shows that you cannot heal what you refuse to feel, and that sometimes, being ungrateful is the first step toward fixing a broken life.

"The Happiness Cage Why getting what you want wont make you happier" explores the psychological concept of the "Hedonic Treadmill" (or Hedonic Adaptation). The theory states that humans have a baseline level of happiness to which they eventually return, regardless of what happens to them.Author Sarah Joy dissects the famous 1978 study comparing lottery winners and accident victims. Surprisingly, after a year, both groups reported similar levels of happiness. The book explains that our brains are wired to normalize success to keep us striving for more. This is good for evolution, but bad for contentment."The Happiness Cage" teaches readers how to step off the treadmill. It argues that lasting well-being doesnt come from "peaks" (new car, promotion), but from raising the baseline through relationships, gratitude, and meaningful work. It is a guide to finding joy in the "new normal."

"The Comfortable Hell Why we tolerate mild misery longer than catastrophe" explores the "Region-Beta Paradox." Psychological research shows that people are more likely to leave a terrible situation than a merely "okay" one. If your job is abusive, you quit immediately. If your job is just boring and slightly annoying, you might stay for ten years. The intense pain triggers action; the mild pain triggers adaptation.Psychologist Alice Gray explains how our psychological immune system works against us in low-stakes suffering. We rationalize the "good enough," trapping ourselves in a state of permanent mediocrity. The book argues that "bad" is better than "okay" because "bad" forces you to move."The Comfortable Hell" is a wake-up call for anyone stuck in a rut. It teaches readers to artificially amplify their dissatisfaction to trigger the escape reflex, proving that the most dangerous place to be is not on the edge of a cliff, but in a lukewarm bath.

"The Measured Mind The bumps on the skull that justified slavery" investigates the dark history of Phrenology. In the 19th century, it was considered a cutting-edge science to read a persons character and intelligence by feeling the bumps on their head. This wasnt just a parlor trick; it was used to decide marriage partners, hire employees, and sentencing criminals.Author Julian Bone traces how Phrenology was weaponized to "prove" the inferiority of non-white races and the poor. It gave a scientific veneer to racism and classism, justifying colonialism and slavery. The book details the rise and fall of this pseudoscience and how its legacy persists in modern algorithmic bias."The Measured Mind" is a warning about how science can be twisted to serve ideology. It shows how smart people can believe in nonsense if it confirms their prejudices, reminding us to question the "objective" metrics we use to judge human worth today.

"The Catharsis Lie Why letting it all out poisons your brain" attacks the popular therapeutic idea that we need to "vent" our anger to feel better. Modern neuroscience reveals that ventingpunching a pillow or screamingdoesnt release anger; it rehearses it. Every time we vent, we strengthen the neural pathways associated with aggression, making us angrier in the future.Author Sarah Fields explains the failure of the "hydraulic model" of emotions. She offers evidence-based alternatives like cognitive reappraisal and physiological cooling (distraction). The book argues that true emotional processing requires reflection, not explosion.Readers will learn to stop feeding the fire of their rage. "The Catharsis Lie" provides a roadmap for actually resolving negative emotions rather than just amplifying them under the guise of "letting off steam."

Como temos nos relacionado afetivamente com os sistemas de inteligencia artificial gerativos (IAGen)? Quais tem sido os seus efeitos em nossos regimes emocionais e romanticos? Refletir sobre essas questes no ambito dos estudos linguisticos aplicados significa analisar no somente os aspectos sociotecnicos de modelos computacionais de linguagem, mas tambem investigar e problematizar os sentidos, as caracteristicas e os sentimentos que varios de nos temos atribuido aos conteudos gerados algoritmicamente. No se trata de mera utilizaço de tecnologia. Em muitos casos, para o lado humano, trata-se de relaçes amorosas e sexualmente implicadas, que acontecem em/por discursos que materializam padres morais, sexuais, religiosos, de genero e de opresso. O livro de Giselly Tiago Ribeiro Amado nos convida a olhar para essa complexidade. Ao analisar relatos de usuarios sobre seus vinculos romanticos com um sistema de IAGen inicialmente desenvolvido para pessoas com depresso , a autora desvela nuances da logica afetiva humano-maquina no capitalismo contemporaneo. Com analises e composiçes teoricas cuidadosamente costuradas, o texto e um convite para expandirmos nossas compreenses sobre linguagem e afeto e sobre o enredamento corpo-algoritmo na busca de relacionamentos supostamente perfeitos.

Este livro nasceu de um incômodo. Ou de vários. O primeiro deles, um mal-estar perante os acalorados debates de "gênero" que têm se estabelecido, não apenas no campo político (em seus vários espectro
