  Don't Believe Everything You...

  When it comes to making great decisions, the way you think about things is usually a lot more influential than what you actually think.
  If you ever hired a person who 'looks the part', dated someone who 'gives you a good feeling', voted for the party that 'speaks the most sense' or got into an investment that 'cannot be missed', only to realise you made a horrible mistake, you might have wondered how you ever talked yourself into it.
  Yet, still bearing the bruises, you're likely to make exactly the same decision the next time.
  The beliefs that guide your ideas and the instincts that drive your actions, are all informed by your unconscious biases, and literally every single one of us has them, which irrationally tell us one thing is good and another is bad, one thing is absolutely true and another is utterly false, and make you act less smartly than you should.
  But the good news is that you can learn to see them, to manage them and ultimately overcome them.
  In Don't Believe Everything You Think, Colin J Browne shows you how biases work, why they matter, and how to reframe your thinking to make well-founded decisions about life and work, relationships and investing, and much else in between, to vastly improve your chances of success.

  La República de Venecia y la...

  La mística ciudad flotante de Venecia ha despertado admiración durante generaciones, y sigue siendo una de las ciudades europeas más visitadas, y con buena razón. Los turistas se sienten atraídos por la impresionante combinación de arquitectura clásica, gótica y de inspiración renacentista de los pintorescos pueblos y aldeas, los encantadores mercados al aire libre, la deliciosa cocina tradicional y, por supuesto, las famosas góndolas que se deslizan por las centelleantes aguas azules. Si bien estas góndolas, junto con las embarcaciones venecianas de larga tradición de atracadas en los puertos, son una de los vistas más características de la ciudad, sus comienzos se ubican en una parte oscurecida de la historia veneciana.  
  	Para los primeros pobladores de las islas pantanosas y poco promisorias de Venecia del siglo V AC, aquello parecía como si cualquier intento de civilización estuviera condenado al fracaso. Sin embargo, incluso con todas las posibilidades en contra, los diestros habitantes dominaron el terreno inhóspito y poco a poco configuraron una sociedad que colocaría a la pequeña y modesta ciudad en el mapa. Con el tiempo, la ciudad se convirtió en el imperio marítimo más poderoso de Europa.  
  	En un país como Italia, lleno de ciudades famosas, Génova no suele ser la primera que viene a la mente. Si Venecia, Florencia y Roma son tal vez las tres primeras, a menudo les siguen Pisa, Siena y Nápoles, por no mencionar las islas de Cerdeña y Sicilia. De hecho, Génova quedaría hacia el final de una lista mucho más larga, y podría estar más estrechamente asociada con su famoso hijo, Cristóbal Colón, quien al final navegó a España. Para los turistas ávidos, Génova podría ser el punto para quienes deseen visitar la impresionante Cinque Terre en la cercana costa de Liguria.

  A Life In Letters

  Simone Weil, Annette Devaux,...

  Now in the pantheon of great thinkers, Simone Weil (1909–1943) lived largely in the shadows, searching for her spiritual home while bearing witness to the violence that devastated Europe twice in her brief lifetime. The letters she wrote to her parents and brother from childhood onward chart her intellectual range as well as her itinerancy and ever-shifting preoccupations, revealing the singular personality at the heart of her brilliant essays. 
   
   
   
  The first complete collection of Weil's missives to her family, A Life in Letters offers new insight into her personal relationships and experiences. The letters abound with vivid illustrations of a life marked by wisdom as much as seeking. The daughter of a bourgeois Parisian Jewish family, Weil was a troublemaking idealist who preferred the company of miners and Russian exiles to that of her peers. An extraordinary scholar of history and politics, she ultimately found a home in Christian mysticism. 
   
   
   
  A Life in Letters depicts Simone Weil's thought taking shape amid political turmoil, as she describes her participation in the Spanish struggle against fascism and in the transatlantic resistance to the Nazis. An introduction and notes by Robert Chenavier contextualize the letters historically and intellectually, relating Weil's letters to her general body of writing.
