Sinopse

The classic story collection brings to life a close-knit Jewish neighborhood of Brooklyn as a group of boys make their journey to adulthood. In these thirteen stories Arthur Granit introduces readers to the lost world of Brownsville as it was in the 1920s. As neighborhood boys grow up together through adventures and misadventures, friendships and trials, Granit observes their evolution against the backdrop of a changing city. Here is the wild humor—and occasional sadness—of life in a teeming Brooklyn Jewish community.

    Verity or the Art of Lying Well

    In an age obsessed with truth, this book dares to ask whether honesty has ever been what we really wanted. Verity, or the Art of Lying Well is a provocative reflection on storytelling, psychology, and the illusions we choose to believe. Through the lens of one of the most controversial thrillers of the decade, it examines why deception feels so irresistible — in fiction, in love, and in life. Blending philosophy and narrative insight, it reveals how every story is a negotiation between belief and desire, and how the best lies often tell the deepest truths. A book for readers who love thrillers but crave something more: a mirror held up to their own need to be deceived.

    SELF-REGULATION SKILLS - How To...

    Self-regulation can be defined in various ways. In the most basic sense, it involves controlling one's behavior, emotions, and thoughts to pursue long-term goals. More specifically, emotional self-regulation refers to managing disruptive emotions and impulses. In other words, to think before acting. It also reflects the ability to cheer yourself up after disappointments and work in a way consistent with your deepest values. 
    It's easy to see how a lack of self-regulation will cause problems in life. A child who yells or hits other children out of frustration will not be famous among peers and may face reprimands at school. An adult with poor self-regulation skills may lack self-confidence and self-esteem and have trouble handling stress and frustration. Often, this might be expressed in anger or anxiety. In more severe cases, it may be diagnosed as a mental disorder. 
    Self-regulation is also essential because it allows you to follow your deeply held values or social conscience and express yourself appropriately. If you value academic achievement, it will enable you to study instead of slack off before a test. 
    Many students do not possess the self-regulatory skills they need to become high academic performers.  
    Some students have found ways to regulate their learning and develop a system of control that shields them from motivational interference and conflict. Limiting distractions and using music to tune out distractions are students' most common self-regulatory strategies to manage motivational interference and conflict. Other students use athletics.

    Reconsidering Reparations

    Reparations for slavery have become a reinvigorated topic for public debate over the last decade. Most theorizing about reparations treats it as a social justice project—either rooted in reconciliatory justice focused on making amends in the present; or, they focus on the past, emphasizing restitution for historical wrongs. Olúfémi O. Táíwò argues that neither approach is optimal, and advances a different case for reparations—one rooted in a hopeful future that tackles the issue of climate change head on, with distributive justice at its core. This view, which he calls the "constructive" view of reparations, argues that reparations should be seen as a future-oriented project engaged in building a better social order; and that the costs of building a more equitable world should be distributed more to those who have inherited the moral liabilities of past injustices. 
     
     
     
    This approach to reparations, as Táíwò shows, has deep and surprising roots in the thought of Black political thinkers such as James Baldwin, Martin Luther King Jr, and Nkechi Taifa, as well as mainstream political philosophers like John Rawls, Charles Mills, and Elizabeth Anderson. Táíwò's project has wide implications for our views of justice, racism, the legacy of colonialism, and climate change policy.

    A Sudden Clash of Thunder -...

    According to Osho, laughter is "the very essence of Zen". And while the theme of these talks is that meditation - watching, remaining alert and aware - is the path to self-realization, Osho encourages us first to "be happy, and meditation will follow".
    Through Zen stories, jokes and answers to questions, Osho highlights our conditioning - our learned social and cultural behavior and beliefs - as the barrier to our natural state of happiness.
    Wielding his words like a humorous, compassionate Zen stick, Osho shows us how we can begin to recognize our conditioning and see that it is not the same as our authentic self.
    "This is the whole effort of all the masters: to create a sudden clash of thunder so those who are fast asleep can be awakened." (Osho)
