Sinopse

"The Power of Focus" explores the science of attention, revealing how it underpins cognitive performance, learning, and well-being. It emphasizes that focus isn't a fixed trait but a skill that can be developed. The book delves into the brain's attentional systems, explaining how they filter information. Did you know that understanding these mechanisms can lead to conscious improvements in concentration? Moreover, the book highlights the impact of environmental distractions and mental clutter on our ability to maintain focus.

 
The book uniquely blends cognitive psychology and neuroscience to offer practical strategies for enhancing attention. It progresses from introducing core concepts of attention, like selective and sustained attention, to providing evidence-based techniques for managing distractions and creating conducive environments for concentration. These strategies include mindfulness meditation and cognitive training exercises.

 
The book then demonstrates how focused attention can be applied in education, work, and personal development, offering real-world examples to illustrate the transformative power of concentration.

The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt -...

Omar Khalil

The emergence of the pharaohs marked the beginning of one of history’s most iconic civilizations. In the early dynastic period around 3100 BCE, Egypt underwent a dramatic transformation as Upper and Lower Egypt were unified under a single ruler, traditionally identified as King Narmer or Menes. This unification not only established centralized rule but also laid the foundations for a dynastic tradition that would endure for millennia. The pharaoh, whose name means “great house,” came to be seen as both a political leader and a divine figure, embodying the will of the gods on earth.
As Egypt’s first kings consolidated power, they created administrative systems to manage resources, command armies, and oversee large-scale construction projects. Hierarchical governance emerged, with officials and scribes acting under the pharaoh’s authority to maintain order throughout the land. This new system allowed the pharaohs to centralize authority, control the fertile Nile Valley, and ensure the production and redistribution of grain and other goods, which became critical for sustaining a growing population and for asserting royal dominance.
Religious ideology played a key role in solidifying the power of the pharaohs. They were often depicted as the sons of deities, particularly associated with the sun god Ra and the sky god Horus. Temples were erected not just as places of worship, but as instruments of royal propaganda, showcasing the divine legitimacy of the ruler. Rituals, festivals, and monumental inscriptions reinforced the pharaoh’s sacred status and his role in maintaining ma’at, the cosmic order of balance and harmony.

George Herbert Mead on Social...

George Herbert Mead, Anselm Strauss

One of the most brilliantly original of American pragmatists, George Herbert Mead published surprisingly few major papers and not a single book during his lifetime. Yet his influence on American sociology and social psychology since World War II has been exceedingly strong. 
 
This volume is a revised and enlarged edition of the book formerly published under the title The Social Psychology of George Herbert Mead. It contains selections from Mead’s posthumous books: Mind, Self, and Society; Movements of Thought in the Nineteenth Century; The Philosophy of the Act; and The Philosophy of the Present, together with an incisive, newly revised, introductory essay by Anselm Strauss on the importance of Mead for contemporary social psychology.

Digital Pilgrims - Towards a...

Adrián Sicilia

The present has the texture of the future. Hyper-digitalization has made all questions outdated, especially: what are we going to do? For decades, we have been inhabiting and moving within the Digital Environment. Today, the unavoidable question is: what and who are we going to be? 
Digital Pilgrims proposes novel and urgent debates for a society that has been digitalizing itself for over fifty years. Our coexistence with mature artificial intelligences demands definitions. We are cyborgs moving in environments that exceed time and space, humans in search of meaning for this quantum reality.  
It is not difficult to speculate about possible futures; the real challenge is to find a path forward in the face of the singularity that is starting to reveal itself, and in the face of the social impact we are just beginning to see. In the middle of the explosion, this book outlines the debates we cannot put off any longer. There are no answers here but rather a guide for us to finally discuss how to orient ourselves on this dizzying voyage.
