The Genius Myth: A Curious History of a Dangerous Idea
by Helen LewisFrom acclaimed Atlantic staff writer and host of BBC&’s podcast &“The New Gurus&” Helen Lewis comes a timely and provocative interrogation of the myth of genius, exploring the surprising inventions, inspirations and distortions by which some lives are elevated to 'greatness' - and others are not*A Guardian, Financial Times, New Statesman and GQ Book for 2025*You can tell what a society values by who it labels as a genius. You can also tell who it excludes, who it enables, and what it is prepared to tolerate. In The Genius Myth, Helen Lewis unearths how this one word has shaped (and distorted) our ideas of success and achievement.Ultimately, argues Lewis, the modern idea of genius — a single preternaturally gifted individual, usually white and male, exempt from social niceties and sometimes even the law— has run its course. Braiding deep research with her signature wit and lightness, Lewis dissects past and present models of genius in the West, and reveals a far deeper and more interesting picture of human creativity than conventional wisdom allows. She uncovers a battalion of overlooked wives and collaborators. She asks whether most inventions are inevitable. She wonders if the Beatles would succeed today. And she confronts the vexing puzzle of Elon Musk, the tech disrupter who fancies himself as an ubermensch.Smart, funny, and provocative, The Genius Myth will challenge your assumptions about creativity, productivity, and innovation --- and forever alter your mental image of the so-called &“genius.&”

Restos de historias
by Jorge BaficoLa columna de Bafico en Abrepalabra (Océano FM) se ha transformando enun ámbito para mostrar cuestiones de lo cotidiano (libros, películas,series, hechos de la realidad) con una mirada psicoanalítica y con unimportante componente: la música. Este libro está lleno de restos que sedesprenden de esas historias. Jorge Bafico es psicoanalista, pero también es comunicador. Escribe yhabla muy bien. Me agrada encontrarme con un columnista queprepara cada uno de los conceptos que comparte con la audiencia. Tendríaque ser moneda corriente, pero no lo es.Jorge elabora cada columna como si fuese un periodista o escritor quetiene que crear una historia con un buen comienzo, un desarrollo y unfinal.Me atrapó su mirada sobre la sociedad. Compartimos la escucha atenta yprofunda, la observación y la pregunta. Y, podría agregar, una granpasión por la lectura y la música.Durante mis años de profesión aprendí que la brevedad es una buenaconsejera en un mundo desbordado de mensajes y con fatiga crónica paradigerirlos. Eso sí, si se quiere profundizar se necesita tiempo delectura. Y esta es justamente mi invitación: tomarse un tiempo paradisfrutar de relatos que nos hacen repensar historias ajenas ?películas,series, libros, canciones?, pero que también, y sobre todo, nos haceninterrogarnos sobre nuestras propias historias.Gustavo Rey(Comunicador, conductor del programa Abrepalabra de Océano FM)
Educocina: La transformación educativa empieza en la cocina
by Diego Ruete Jimena FolleTexto invaluable a la hora de emprender el camino hacia una alimentación saludable como forma de vida. Los adultos transmitimos mucho más de lo que decimos, por esto necesitamos asumir el rol que cumplimos en la educación alimentaria en la infancia. Necesitamos adultos que se detengan, que lean las etiquetas, que sean críticos a la hora de comprar alimentos, que se interesen más por el contenido que por el envoltorio, que se animen a cocinar más. Para lograr esto necesitamos reaprender a organizar nuestras jornadas, a rearmar nuestras prioridades y, sobre todo, las de nuestros niños. En este libro, Diego Ruete apela a su enorme experiencia como educador para compartir con nosotros estrategias que nos ayudarán en el camino hacia la alimentación como forma de compartir el amor. El libro se enriquece con la solidez conceptual de Jimena Folle y los aportes de reconocidos especialistas en diversas áreas que, junto con la exitosa praxis de Diego Ruete y de Inés Marracos, conforman un texto invaluable a la hora de emprender el camino hacia una alimentación saludable como forma de vida. En una sociedad donde aparecen como consumibles cada vez más cosas que en realidad no son alimentos, la educación alimentaria juega un rol esencial. La comida debe retornar a hacer su verdadero trabajo, debe nutrir para el desarrollo, debe aportar para la salud, no enfermar. En estas páginas encontraremos conceptos, consejos y herramientas que contribuirán a reconectarnos con los alimentos de una manera saludable.
Einstein en Uruguay: Crónica de un viaje histórico
by Diego MoraesUn exhaustivo trabajo de investigación en el que Diego Moraes reconstruye el viaje de uno de los personajes más importantes en la historia de la humanidad y un Uruguay a la vanguardia de la cultura y el pensamiento. En 1925 el famoso físico alemán Albert Einstein realizó una histórica visita al Uruguay. Casi cien años han pasado desde entonces pero, en la actualidad, ¿qué sabemos los uruguayos sobre aquel episodio? Una estatua ubicada en la Plaza de los Treinta y Tres, en el Centro montevideano, recuerda el momento más famoso de aquella visita: el célebre encuentro mantenido en ese mismo sitio entre Einstein y el filósofo Carlos Vaz Ferreira. Sin embargo, es poco más lo que se conoce, en términos generales. ¿Qué vino a hacer Einstein al Uruguay? ¿Quién lo invitó a nuestro país y por qué? ¿Qué personajes prominentes de la sociedad uruguaya conoció durante su estadía? ¿Dónde se alojó? ¿Qué actividades realizó durante la semana que permaneció en suelo uruguayo? ¿Qué impresión dejó entre los compatriotas de 1925? E, inversa mente, ¿qué opinión guardó luego de su paso por estas tierras? Estas son solo algunas de las preguntas que este libro aspira a responder.

El paradójico sentimiento de desamparo que genera el estar en pareja, pero viviendo la soledad más profunda, es más frecuente de lo que creemos.

La psicóloga especializada en logoterapia Roxana Gaudio vuelca en estas páginas casos reales y ejercicios prácticos para proponer aprendizajes y desafíos. Quienes tienen dificultades en la pareja -cualquiera sea su tipo-, se sienten al borde de la ruptura o les interesa cultivar la relación que llevan encontrarán en este libro una pausa para mirarse y una guía para sanar ese vínculo tan preciado.
La vida sigue
by Jorge BaficoEste libro es un recorrido y un homenaje. Una invitación a conocer las zonas más complejas de la psique humana, a través de diferentes historias de pacientes.

Recorriendo sus páginas, el lector se encontrará con casos clínicos que tocan la locura, y que al mismo tiempo se convierten en cercanos. Bafico nos acerca a la patología en su versión más cotidiana, desde el respeto y una profunda sensibilidad. Un encuentro con la clínica desde dentro, moldeada a través del vínculo con Dagoberto. Este libro es también un homenaje a un gran médico que ha sido maestro, ejemplo y amigo del autor. Cómo él mismo dice: #Hay hombres que son excepcionales. Dagoberto lo fue y yo tuve la suerte de conocerlo#. Con un lenguaje directo y luminoso, Jorge Bafico nos invita a conocer esta historia de aprendizajes, gratitud y esperanza, pero también de angustia y dolor. Fiel a su estilo, cada texto está acompañado por citas musicales que complementan y amplifican el sentido de cada capítulo.

Un espectro de belleza: Ensayo sobre la vivencia de los espacios desde una mirada neurodivergente
by Diego TosarDiego Tosar nos invita a ir en busca de aquello que nos une con las personas del espectro autista, más que de aquello que nos diferencia, para proponer otra posible arquitectura, una arquitectura repleta de sensibilidad para todos.

Por otra parte, este libro es también el ensayo de un padre, de profesión arquitecto, que desde el desconcierto intenta amorosamente comprender a su hijo. Esta vivencia personal se convierte en el motor que impulsa una reflexión personal y profesional ampliada y comprometida.

by Pema ChodronUm curso intensivo sobre viver a vida plena e compassivamente na sombra da morte e da mudança. Por mais que tentemos resistir, enquanto vivemos, estamos continuamente perante fins: o fim de uma respiração, o fim de um dia, o fim de um relacionamento e, em última instância, o fim da vida, que é um fardo quotidiano para a maioria das pessoas, ainda que tal não tenha de ser assim. Neste livro luminoso, a monja budista Pema Chödrön partilha a sua sabedoria e oferece orientação para enfrentarmos sentimentos desconfortáveis e aceitarmos as constantes mudanças da vida, abraçando novos começos e preparando-nos para a morte com abertura, em vez de medo. Segundo a autora, se aprendermos a aceitar a imprevisibilidade e a lidar com as emoções mais desafi adoras da vida, estaremos no caminho para a iluminação espiritual e seremos mais destemidos ao enfrentar a morte e o que se seguir, pois, é importante que o lembremos, o modo como vivemos é o modo como morremos. «Um tratado sábio que reflete filosoficamente sobre as transições da vida.» Publishers Weekly «Pema Chödrön é uma luz que guia todos os que procuram crescimento pessoal.» Library Journal «Uma forma de transmitir a sabedoria e a luz ao mundo moderno. Num tempo em que as pessoas gostariam mais de viver na ilusão da certeza, Chödrön lembra aos leitores que devem reconhecer a beleza da imprevisibilidade e que abandonar o controlo de uma realidade que está, e sempre estará, em permanente mutação.» Shelf Awareness
