Como Vencer as Zonas Obscuras de Tua Mente
by Marcelo C Troche Nelson Leonel De BenedettiA vida tem algum sentido? E o que ocorre com os milhões de pessoas que desfrutam de uma vida relativamente próspera e segura? Que parecem ter tudo o que é necessário para ser feliz. Mas muitos não o conseguem. Uma e outra vez, eles vêem que o "trabalho penoso" e outras "coisas nocivas" - sejam problemas econômicos ou infortúnios como a morte de uma criança - destroem suas ilusões e esperanças. Mas ainda há algo mais que angustia essa "sensação de falta de sentido e vazio" tão difundida: a brevidade da vida. Muitas pessoas acham difícil entender que o ser humano, com tanto potencial em inúmeros campos, viva tão pouco. A dura realidade é que mesmo se nos livrarmos das piores calamidades desta vida, a morte acaba tirando tudo de nós. Será possível encontrar sentido na vida? Um rei do antigo Israel, Salomão, resumiu bem a existência do ser humano. Ele viu que as pessoas da época, como as pessoas de hoje, estavam lutando para avançar: plantavam, cultivavam, construíam uma casa, cuidavam de suas famílias... Mesmo assim, qual foi o resultado? "Nada faz sentido", concluiu ele, "é como perseguir o vento". Salomão acreditava que o ser humano, por mais que tentasse, nunca poderia dar sentido à vida? A verdade é que não. Ele simplesmente explicou de maneira realista como é a vida em um mundo imperfeito.
The Compassionate Connection: The Healing Power Of Empathy And Mindful Listening
by David Rakel“This book explains not only the healing power of compassionate human connection, but in the most accessible and practical ways, how to cultivate our capacity to create that connection and thereby empower others to find their best selves.”—John Makransky, author of Awakening through Love All of us have an innate capacity for compassion. We recognize when others are hurting, and we want to help, but we’re not always good at it. There is another way. In The Compassionate Connection, Dr. David Rakel explains how we can strengthen our bonds with others—all the while doing emotional and physical good for ourselves. As founder and director of the University of Wisconsin Integrative Medicine program, Dr. Rakel discovered that we become the most effective helpers when we use the tool of human connection. Drawing on his own research and practice, as well as thirty years of published studies in medicine, sociology, psychology, meditation, and neuroscience, Dr. Rakel "stacks the deck" in favor of healing and introduces the concept of bio-psycho-spiritual authentic awareness. Not only are our bodies and minds connected, but also it has been scientifically proven that our capacity to feel beauty, awe, and compassion enhances our health and wellbeing. In The Compassionate Connection, Dr. Rakel provides an innovative approach to enhancing health in others and strengthening relationships through the art of connecting. These tools guide us to improve our connections—whether between doctor and patient, husband and wife, parent and child, or boss and employee—and live with clarity, wisdom, and good health.

Connecting the Dots: Lessons for Leadership in a Startup World
by Diane Brady John ChambersSilicon Valley visionary John Chambers shares the lessons that transformed a dyslexic kid from West Virginia into one of the world's best business leaders and turned a simple router company into a global tech titan. When Chambers joined Cisco in 1991, it was a company with 400 employees, a single product, and about $70 million in revenue. When he stepped down as CEO in 2015, he left a $47 billion tech giant that was the backbone of the internet and a leader in areas from cybersecurity to data center convergence. Along the way, he had acquired 180 companies and turned more than 10,000 employees into millionaires. Widely recognized as an innovator, an industry leader, and one of the world's best CEOs, Chambers has outlasted and outmaneuvered practically every rival that ever tried to take Cisco on--Nortel, Lucent, Alcatel, IBM, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard, to name a few. Now Chambers is sharing his unique strategies for winning in a digital world. From his early lessons and struggles with dyslexia in West Virginia to his bold bets and battles with some of the biggest names in tech, Chambers gives readers a playbook on how to act before the market shifts, tap customers for strategy, partner for growth, build teams, and disrupt themselves. He also adapted those lessons to transform government, helping global leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to create new models for growth. As CEO of JC2 Ventures, he's now investing in a new generation of game-changing startups by helping founders become great leaders and scale their companies. Connecting the Dots is destined to become a business classic, providing hard-won insights and critical tools to thrive during the accelerating disruption of the digital age.
Conócete a ti misma: Piedra angular en momentos de crisis
by Viviane GamerroConócete y conocerás el mundo, cambia y cambiarás el mundo. Todos atravesamos momentos de crisis y nos resistimos al cambio. Todos nos guiamos por lo que hemos aprendido y por cómo se supone que debemos ser. <P><P>Este libro propone un enfoque diferente; para superar las crisis, y crecer con ellas, es necesario aceptar el cambio e iniciar un viaje interior para descubrir nuestra verdadera esencia. No es un camino fácil, pero es posible. Viviane Gamerro, licenciada en Psicología por la Universidad de Barcelona, te propone un reto y te da la solución: abandonar los clichés, abrazar el cambio, desaprender lo aprendido y descubrir a esa maravillosa persona que no es otra que tú misma. <P><P>Para ello, pregúntate con amor: ¿Realmente me conozco o creo que soy como me definen los demás? Es posible que te hayas visto a ti misma a través de los ojos ajenos, sin siquiera preguntarte si lo que reflejan es tu verdadero yo; que durante mucho tiempo corrieras tras lo que se suponía daba la felicidad, sin siquiera preguntarte si todo eso era lo que a ti te llenaba.

Considerações sobre o Uso de Brinquedos Sexuais
by Tobias Lorv Gabriel AgboComerciantes de brinquedos sexuais arrecadam bilhões de dólares todos os anos. Os produtos são muito diversificados e, hoje em dia, estão disponíveis em todos os lugares do mundo. Agora, parece que esse negócio de satisfazer desejos sexuais de forma artificial ou tecnológica está em voga. Solteiros, casados, velhos e jovens frequentam lojas de brinquedos sexuais e os fabricantes, de forma inteligente, constantemente lançam produtos mais atraentes e sofisticados. Parece que não há fim para a genialidade inovadora ao inventar esses novos instrumentos de prazer sexual. Hoje, alguns desses brinquedos agem e comportam-se exatamente como parceiros sexuais no ato. É verdade. Mas, aqui, queremos discutir a origem, as intenções e os efeitos desses brinquedos nos usuários, especialmente as implicações espirituais e psicológicas. Brinquedos sexuais não são novos. Eles têm uma longa história, que começou com o uso de objetos esculpidos que representavam o pênis. Os romanos, gregos, chineses, asiáticos e indianos da antiguidade esculpiam esses objetos em pedra, ferro, ouro, madeira e outros materiais que eram usados para estimular a masturbação. Alguns deles, como os gregos, também adoravam deuses e deusas do sexo, com os objetos sendo exibidos e usados, e outros atos sexuais imorais extensamente promovidos, incluindo sexo com demônios e espíritos. Portanto, pode-se dizer que a base dos brinquedos sexuais foi o desejo de prazer "ilimitado" e a adoração de deuses demoníacos. Essa invenção se transformou em outros objetos e, no século XX, vimos a invenção do primeiro vibrador elétrico. Desde então, há um infinidade desses instrumentos primeiramente manuais e, mais tarde, sofisticados de prazer sexual. Alguns deles piscam e falam! Uau! O brinquedo sexual está no plano original de Deus? E, como o relacionamento sexual é uma conexão física, emocional e espiritual, ele tem qualquer efeito colateral espiritual e emocional? Pr

Contar ovejas
by Axel LindénEl debut de un urbanita sueco convertido en pastor de ovejas durante 1.026 días. Contar ovejas es un libro sutil y filosófico, exquisitamente ingenioso y conmovedor, en el que su autor, un académico de origen sueco, se convierte en pastor y trata de organizar su vida en una granja con un huidizo rebaño de ovejas. Nuestro protagonista comienza su aventura con una idea por demás ingenua de lo que significará cuidar su propiedad y, sobre todo, el rebaño, pero a medida que pasa el tiempo y va adaptándose a su nueva realidad, cualquier traza de ingenuidad se desvanece para ser reemplazada por la cabal comprensión de lo que es su realidad como pastor: dura a veces, fácil otras, en ocasiones muy satisfactoria, y en otras agotadora. Contar ovejas recoge los pensamientos y reflexiones de Axel Lindén durante los 1.026 días que pasó en el campo, al tiempo que nos ayuda a volver a lo básico y plantearnos las responsabilidades que suponen cuidar de algo y de alguien.
