Sinopse

In "Our Eternity," Maurice Maeterlinck delves into the profound themes of existence, mortality, and the human experience, employing a rich, contemplative prose that intertwines philosophical inquiry with poetic expression. The book reflects Maeterlinck's mastery of symbolist literature, inviting readers to ponder the enduring questions of life and the nature of the soul. Through a series of meditative essays, he articulates a vision of eternity that transcends physical death, offering insights rooted in both spirituality and existential thought, an exploration that resonates deeply within the context of the early 20th century's philosophical movements. Maurice Maeterlinck, a Belgian playwright and essayist who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, was deeply influenced by his fascination with the metaphysical aspects of life. His earlier works, often steeped in mysticism and nature, laid the groundwork for the contemplative and introspective tone of "Our Eternity." Maeterlinck's own philosophical musings and experiences shaped his exploration of the delicate balance between life and death, compelling him to articulate a cohesive vision of existence that goes beyond temporal boundaries. This book is recommended for readers who seek to engage with profound philosophical reflections on life and immortality. It offers a thought-provoking perspective that challenges conventional understandings of existence, making it a significant contribution to the discourse on eternity. Maeterlinck's lyrical style and his deep probing of the human condition make this work not only a literary achievement but also a source of spiritual insight.

    In "Social Intelligence," Daniel Goleman explores how our relationships affect the brain, health, and well-being. He proposes that humans are biologically programmed to connect emotionally and distinguishes between two neural pathways: a fast, intuitive one (the low road) and a rational, conscious one (the high road). Goleman introduces concepts such as emotional contagion, empathy, mirror neurons, and the importance of attachment from infancy. 
     Goleman also differentiates between I/Thou relationships, based on genuine connection, and I/It relationships, which are more impersonal. He warns about the risks of the "dark triad" (narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) and the emotional blindness that can affect individuals with trauma or autism spectrum conditions. He emphasizes that social intelligence is not innate but moldable through experience and environment, thanks to social epigenetics. 
     The author analyzes how love, leadership, education, and emotional health are influenced by our social skills. He also critiques the negative impact of technology and the mechanization of the medical system on empathy. Finally, Goleman advocates for a more compassionate society where social intelligence is cultivated through cultural, educational, and community efforts to improve our lives and relationships.

    A practical and eye-opening guide to the Aztec philosophy on how to live. 
     
     
     
    The Outward Path refers to the central insight that our true desire as human beings is not really for "happiness," a fleeting mood. What we really want is a rich and worthwhile life, which we can only achieve by pursuing an outward path of engagement with other people. Wisdom is not a matter of "thinking for oneself," but comes through deliberating well in concert with others. Stoic and Buddhist philosophies will teach you to still your mind to address the outside world; but according to the Aztecs, we should cultivate healthy relationships first and then use those to forge a path forward. This "outward path" offers an alternative to the presumptions of our highly individualistic, competitive Western culture, with its epidemic of loneliness and other social ills. 
     
     
     
    Aztec self-help for the modern world, this is the first book in any modern language to present the core ethical principles of the Aztecs. It provides us with surprising insights about how to address concerns common to everyone, from how to make a good decision or strengthen your willpower, to how to sustain love and survive tragedy. Structured around twelve lessons and seven exercises, it's an ethical workout routine designed to help you become a better person—one more deeply rooted and fulfilled.

    Author Foxx Nolte gives listeners a glimpse behind the curtain of the most magical place on earth. Millions of people a year visit Walt Disney World, but few would consider it to be a place with any real history. But hidden just below the surface, past the blanket of pixie dust, is a story as vivid and bizarre as any. It is a history of corporate politics, urban planning, crazy ambitions, and failed schemes. The Hidden History of Walt Disney World takes you on a journey that stretches from "Old Florida" to the events that made Walt Disney World what it is today. There's birds made of citrus, horizontal elevators, a ghost town, and tennis ball factories. And that's just the start. Whether you've visited one or one hundred times, your vacation will never be the same again. Yep, the castle is fake. But the stories are not.
