Life skills are those skills that enable individuals to effectively face the demands and challenges of daily life. Among these, critical thinking is one of the fundamental requisites for the emancipation and participation in the social life of every human being. But what do we actually mean when we talk about critical thinking? Is it possible to think of building tools for the development and evaluation of critical thinking? The volume intends to answer these questions through theoretical and operational material. This is a hands-on book focused on developing your intelligence and critical thinking skills to make decisions. This is not an abstract story about thinking and I assure you that after reading it you will not be the same person who is reading these words. With the critical thinking tools and strategies that I will teach you in this book, you will learn not to be deceived by cunning techniques of argumentation, to be sane, to strive to understand and appreciate the points of view of others, to analyze the reasoning with which you do not necessarily agree and change your points of view when you are faced with a better reasoning.Ver livro
NELSON MANDELA: QUOTES COLLECTION 100+ SELECTED QUOTES ABOUT NELSON MANDELA: Nelson Mandela, in full Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, byname Madiba, (born July 18, 1918, Mvezo, South Africa—died December 5, 2013, Johannesburg), Black nationalist and the first Black president of South Africa (1994–99). His negotiations in the early 1990s with South African Pres. F.W. de Klerk helped end the country’s apartheid system of racial segregation and ushered in a peaceful transition to majority rule. Mandela and de Klerk were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1993 for their efforts. QUOTES SAMPLES “There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return”. “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” “Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” “It only seems impossible until it's done.” “Fools multiply when wise men are silent.” “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” “If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important - and you do that by being genuine and humble.”Ver livro
A sport-loving college freshman, Kerry Hellmuth commits instantly to riding in the first women's Little 500 race at her first dorm floor meeting. Only later does she learn what the Little 500 is--a bicycle race around a cinder track pitting dorm teams against independents and sororities--and how much riding in the historic first edition of the race will enrich her college experience. Led by two RAs, Hellmuth and her dorm team of motivated and scrappy athletes begin training indoors and on long rides through the beautiful rolling hills of South Central Indiana, sometimes so intensely that they lose their lunch or finish in tears. Along the way, they come of age together, navigating the passage from their respective family lives into adulthood. Hellmuth finds herself and she even finds love with a handsome teammate. Willkie Sprint is the inspiring true story of that year of wonder and challenge. The team's plucky freshman dream of glory despite the sense that no one can beat the upper-class(wo)men from the sorority team whose historic attempt to qualify for the men's event helped bring the women's edition into existence. The closer they become, the better the teammates perform on their bikes. Will the rag-tag Willkie underdogs pull off the Cinderella story? You will love witnessing the unbreakable bonds that emerge between these richly painted team members, be entertained by their lively discussions as they pedal, be awed by their dedication and perserverance, and be inspired by their triumphant approach to racing and life. "With heart and humor, Kerry Hellmuth shares her cycling team's journey to victory in the inaugural Women's Little 500 ― from their kick-off meeting to their final lap. This coming-of-age memoir is a powerful story about perseverance, unbreakable friendships, falling in love, and learning who you are."―Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of Meta, and Founder of LeanIn.org/OptionB.orgVer livro
A glittering stream of revelatory light . . . Fascinating' THE TIMES'Rich, complex and original' TOM HOLLAND'One of the best books on Blake I have ever read' DAVID KEENAN'Absolutely wonderful!' TERRY GILLIAM'An alchemical dream of a book' SALENA GODDEN'Tells us a great deal about all human imagination' ROBIN INCE***Poet, artist, visionary and author of the unofficial English national anthem 'Jerusalem', William Blake is an archetypal misunderstood genius. His life passed without recognition and he worked without reward, mocked, dismissed and misinterpreted. Yet from his ignoble end in a pauper's grave, Blake now occupies a unique position as an artist who unites and attracts people from all corners of society, and a rare inclusive symbol of English identity. Blake famously experienced visions, and it is these that shaped his attitude to politics, sex, religion, society and art. Thanks to the work of neuroscientists and psychologists, we are now in a better position to understand what was happening inside that remarkable mind, and gain a deeper appreciation of his brilliance. His timeless work, we will find, has never been more relevant.In William Blake vs the World we return to a world of riots, revolutions and radicals, discuss movements from the Levellers of the sixteenth century to the psychedelic counterculture of the 1960s, and explore the latest discoveries in neurobiology, quantum physics and comparative religion. Taking the reader on wild detours into unfamiliar territory, John Higgs places the bewildering eccentricities of a most singular artist into context. And although the journey begins with us trying to understand him, we will ultimately discover that it is Blake who helps us to understand ourselves.Ver livro
