Power lifts the mood. It motivates us to take charge and liberates us to be our authentic selves. It means wealth, ability, choice, fame, influence, dominance, authority, rank, and prestige. Powerlessness depresses the mood. It stifles the self by making it subservient to other people’s wills. It is at the core of many social ills - from poverty to anxiety, workplace problems to marital discord. The lack of power can damage our health - both mental and physical - and even shorten our lives.

Neste livro Schopenhauer apresenta 38 estratégias sobre a arte de vencer um oponente num debate, não importando os meios, utilizando a maior ferramenta que possuímos; a palavra. É possível recorrer a estes estratagemas, lícitos e ilícitos, para 'obter' razão, e defendê-la quando ela estiver do nosso lado ou conquistá-la quando estiver do lado do adversário. Com frieza classificatória, Schopenhauer indica 'os caminhos oblíquos e os truques de que se serve a natureza humana em geral para ocultar seus defeitos'.

Von Vorbildern des aufrechten Lebens wie Ulysses S. Grant, Ghandi und Mark Aurel bis hin zu den als Warnung dienenden Geschichten von Napoleon und F.

Stoicism is a practical philosophy that was founded by the ancient Greek philosopher, Zeno, over 2,000 years ago. It teaches that we cannot control external events, but we can control how we respond to them. By cultivating virtues such as wisdom, courage, and justice, we can learn to accept whatever comes our way and find peace and contentment in the present moment. In this audiobook, you will learn the key principles of stoicism and how they can be applied to modern life.

You may have heard about people who are gifted at taking photographs of information in their minds; however, what you may not have heard is that taking these types of photos is actually a skill that you can teach yourself. Memorizing information doesn’t have to be difficult, yet many people struggle to do so simply because they haven’t learned how to take pictures of images that they want to retain in their minds for future use. In other words, once you learn how to cultivate a photographic memory, you’ll be able to easily set yourself apart from the rest.

Five years ago, I asked myself: Was I living or just existing? This led me on a journey of deep research and discovery, both of the outer world around me and my own inner world. I realized a lack of understanding leads to a lack of fulfillment and purpose in life, so this audiobook is an honest assessment of hard-hitting questions about beliefs and traditions we as a species have held for eons.

The modern understanding of what it means to be stoical is never showing any form of outward emotion regardless of all circumstances, good or bad, and indeed not having any emotions whatsoever. The entire species of the Vulcans in the popular science fiction franchise Star Trek exemplifies the popular definition. But it's easy to recognize an absence of outward emotion as not necessarily being a good thing.

This audiobook aims to encourage a person's own thinking, not to influence it. The author believes the extensions of thought from any human being are so profuse, they are countless. Normally, there is no cohesiveness of thought. We are consistent neither in our thinking nor in our behavior. We are not wholly integrated persons and cannot, therefore, firmly and positively achieve inner growth. Having your own personal philosophy will give you personal unity. It will allow you to maximize your potential. A person with a philosophy is a mover; without it, one floats and is moved.

La banalidad del bien pone énfasis en la palabra y trivializa la acción. El coraje cede su puesto a la molicie y el amor propio al autodesprecio. Los valores mercuriales del capitalismo anímico–disrupción, volatilidad, incertidumbre–obligan a flotar con la corriente, impidiendo echar raíces. En la cultura de la agitación–concepto desarrollado brillantemente por Jorge Freire–el ciudadano participativo, sometido a estados de excepción sucesivos, se convierte en su propia caricatura. ¿Será que cuando el bien no se sustancia en la vida buena no queda otra cosa que el buenismo?

Del mismo modo en que las nubes oscurecen por momentos la capacidad iluminadora del sol, las emociones y aflicciones del cuerpo y de la mente —la ofuscación, el deseo ansioso, la insatisfacción, el rencor, el miedo o la envidia— pueden alterar temporalmente la esencia de lo que somos en realidad.

The journey of personal deconstruction is not an easy one, but once you have set out on the path, there is no going back. You will require determination, commitment, and a willingness to listen to the audiobook as it was intended, as a dialogue with yourself. They say change is not easy, but change is instantaneous: it is the resistance to the change that takes time. This audiobook is not about self improvement, although that is one of the side effects. It is an audiobook of serious inquiry into the nature of being human, using the author's life as a backdrop for many topics.
