Sinopse

Think Critically Now tackles the essential skill of navigating today’s complex world by merging timeless philosophical inquiry with modern cognitive science. At its core, the book argues that critical thinking isn’t an innate talent but a learnable practice—one that combats misinformation, decision fatigue, and ingrained biases like confirmation bias. Through relatable examples, such as dissecting poor investment choices or polarized online debates, it reveals how biological and cultural shortcuts often sabotage rational judgment. The book stands out by pairing actionable self-help strategies with ethical depth, urging readers to blend logic with empathy.

Structured in three clear sections, the guide first unpacks cognitive traps using real-world cases like corporate groupthink. It then equips readers with evidence-evaluation tools, such as probabilistic reasoning, applied to scenarios from medical diagnoses to climate discussions. Finally, it explores the moral dimensions of decision-making, connecting behavioral economics (like Kahneman’s System 1/2 theory) with Aristotle’s ethics. Unique interactive elements—like “decision journals” for tracking choices—transform theory into habit, avoiding shallow life hacks.

Written in jargon-free prose with quizzes and flowcharts, the book democratizes critical thinking for professionals, students, and everyday decision-makers. By framing intellectual humility as strength, it turns uncertainty into a catalyst for growth, offering not easy answers but a resilient mindset for lifelong learning.

The Mattering Instinct - How Our...

Rebecca Newberger Goldstein

MacArthur Fellow and National Humanities Medalist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex and The Mind-Body Problem, returns with a revelatory book about the primal drive that in our species alone has been transformed into one of our most persistent and universal motivations: the longing to matter.Drawing on biology, psychology, and philosophy, Goldstein argues that this need to matter—and the various "mattering projects" it inspires—is the source of our greatest progress and our deepest conflicts: the very crux of the human experience.Goldstein brings this profound idea to life through unforgettable stories of famous and not-so-famous people pursuing their unique mattering projects. These portraits illuminate how our instinct for significance shapes identity, relationships, culture, and conflict—and they point the way to a future where we all might see that there is, fundamentally, enough mattering to go around.Deeply revealing and insightful, The Mattering Instinct is a must-listen for those curious about why we seek to matter to ourselves and others—and how this insatiable longing that drives us apart may be the key to finally understanding each other.

How to Destroy America in Three...

Anônimo

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
A growing number of Americans want to tear down what it’s taken us 250 years to build—and they’ll start by canceling our shared history, ideals, and culture.
Traditional areas of civic agreement are vanishing. We can’t agree on what makes America special. We can’t even agree that America is special. We’re coming to the point that we can’t even agree what the word America itself means. “Disintegrationists” say we’re stronger together, but their assault on America’s history, philosophy, and culture will only tear us apart.
Who are the disintegrationists? From Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to the New York Times’ 1619 project, many modern analyses view American history through the lens of competing oppressions, a racist and corrupt experiment from the very beginning. They see American philosophy as a lie – beautiful words pasted over a thoroughly rotted system. They see America’s culture of rights as a façade that merely reinforces traditional hierarchies of power, instead of being the only culture that guarantees freedom for individuals.
Disintegrationist attacks on the values that built our nation are insidious because they replace each foundational belief, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, with nothing more than an increased reliance on the government.
This twisted disintegrationist vision replaces the traditional “unionist” understanding that all Americans are united in a shared striving toward the perfection of universal ideals.
How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps shows that to be a cohesive nation we have to uphold foundational truths about ourselves, our history, and reality itself—to be unionists instead of disintegrationists. Shapiro offers a vital warning that if we don’t recover these shared truths, our future—our union—as a great country is threatened with destruction.

The Eighty Years War - The...

Kelly Mass

The war between the protestant Netherlands, mostly led by William of Orange, and Catholic Spain, was one of the marks in Dutch history. This war has determined the beliefs of many people who now live about the three rivers that go through the country: Most of the people north of the rivers are protestant, and most of the believers below them (even throughout Belgium as well) are Catholic. This is no coincidence. 
The war in the 1600s has become a symbol of Dutch resistance, independence, and the royal family (of Orange). In that sense, traditions date back hundreds of years, some them that have their roots in this century. Learn more about what caused the 80 years of war between these two countries, how France was involved, and how it helped form the boundaries and borders of those countries today.

American Hero - The Life and...

Charles Whiting

As a teenager Audie Murphy left his home in Texas to join in the fight against the Nazis. By the end of the war, he had fought in the bloody battle of Anzio, helped liberate Rome, marched his way across France, repelled German counterattacks in Alsace, before finishing in Germany. He was wounded three times, killed over two hundred enemies, and won every medal for valor that the United States had to offer. 
 
 
 
Charles Whiting charts Murphy's journey through World War Two, shedding light on his courageous actions. 
 
 
 
Yet what price did young Audie Murphy pay for becoming America's most decorated soldier of the Second World War? 
 
 
 
Rather than simply focusing on Murphy's achievements in combat, Whiting also explores his life after the war when he struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction problems, and even twenty years after the war slept with the lights on and a loaded Walther pistol beneath his pillow. 
 
 
 
American Hero draws upon numerous contemporary sources and a wealth of information drawn from interviews with Murphy's friends and comrades to provide insight into the rise and fall of Audie Murphy.
