Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sêneca forjou nestas cartas sua obra-prima, o seu testamento vital, no qual inumeráveis preocupações e experiências são abordadas. As cartas constituem uma pedagogia em ação, nas quais o mestre se dedica ao progresso do discípulo, Lucílio. Nelas Sêneca apresenta uma síntese dos seus princípios de sabedoria, virtude e liberdade. Sêneca aborda a busca da felicidade, o medo da morte, a desilusão, a amizade, a velhice e a equanimidade perante as vicissitudes, além de levantar uma das principais questões dos nossos dias: como conjugar qualidade de vida e tempo escasso. Os conselhos do filósofo podem nos ajudar, assim, a desenvolver a coragem necessária para encarar a realidade e para lidar com ela da melhor maneira possível. Sua principal filosofia, o estoicismo, pode ser encarada como um sistema para prosperar em ambientes de alto estresse. Em seu núcleo, ensina como separar o que você pode controlar do que não pode e nos treina para nos concentrarmos exclusivamente no primeiro. O estoicismo foi projetado para os realizadores. Sêneca pode ser encarado como um guia prático para contentar-se com o suficiente. A prática do estoicismo torna você menos emocionalmente reativo, mais consciente do presente e mais resiliente. À medida que você navega na vida, esse tipo de treinamento de força mental também facilita as decisões difíceis, seja desistir de um emprego, fundar uma empresa, convidar alguém para sair, terminar um relacionamento ou qualquer outra coisa. Leitores do século XXI serão surpreendidos por lições como: “A duração de minha vida não depende de mim. O que depende é que não percorra de forma pouco nobre as fases dessa vida”; “Pobre não é o homem que tem pouco, mas o homem que anseia por mais”. “Qual é o limite adequado para a riqueza? É, primeiro, ter o que é necessário e, segundo, ter o que é suficiente”. Obra completa com as 124 cartas dividida em 3 volumes: Volume I: Cartas 1 a 65 Volume II: Cartas 66 a 92 Volume III: Cartas 93 a 124

Book excerpt: Quizá pensamos que vamos a estar aquí para siempre, que las personas que queremos van a estar aquí para siempre. Hoy día podemos comprar casi cualquier cosa con nuestros teléfonos de última generación sin mover el culo del sofá de nuestra casa, comunicarnos al instante con una persona que se encuentre al otro lado del planeta, medios de transporte inimaginables hace tan sólo 100 años que han acercado los continentes, calefacción en invierno, aire acondicionado en verano, televisión por cable, Internet de alta velocidad... Todas estas comodidades nos hacen vivir dormidos en un cómodo sueño de seguridad perpetua totalmente falso. "Mortal es todo el bien de los mortales". Mortales son todos los bienes que poseemos y disfrutamos, mortales somos. Pero hay algo que no muere jamás: la virtud. Este mensaje es uno de los que intenta transmitir Séneca en sus cartas a su buen amigo Lucilio. Estos escritos son una de las fuentes de referencia del estoicismo, que a día de hoy, siguen siendo aplicables. El objetivo de esta edición de las Cartas a Lucilio es poder acercar el estoicismo a cualquier persona, aunque no tenga ni idea de filosofía. Para ello, he "traducido" las enseñanzas de Séneca, del castellano antiguo, de una traducción directa del latín con más de 130 años, a un castellano más actual, fácil de leer y de entender.El formato de esta edición impresa utiliza, en sus 770 páginas, letra grande, párrafos cortos y amplios márgenes, para facilitar su comprensión y hacer más agradable su lectura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edición completa con las 124 cartas. Edición de estudio. Traducción al español contemporáneo. Las Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium, también conocidas como Epístolas morales y Cartas de un estoico, son una colección de 124 cartas que Séneca el Joven escribió -entre los años 62 a 65 de la Era Común- al final de su vida, durante su jubilación, después de haber trabajado para el emperador Nerón durante más de diez años. Están dirigidas a Lucilio Junior. el entonces procurador de Sicilia, a quien sólo se conoce a través de los escritos de Séneca. Independientemente de la correspondencia que mantuvieron Séneca y Lucilio, está claro que Séneca redactó las cartas pensando en un amplio público. Las cartas comienzan a menudo con una observación de la vida cotidiana, para pasar después a un tema o principio extraído de esa observación. El resultado es como un diario o un manual de meditaciones filosóficas. Las cartas se centran en muchos temas tradicionales de la filosofía estoica, como la firmeza de corazón del sabio y la virtud como bien supremo.

Book excerpt: The instant #1 New York Times bestseller! Stephanie Garber’s limitless imagination takes flight once more in the colorful, mesmerizing, and immersive sequel to the bestselling breakout debut Caraval... A heart to protect. A debt to repay. A game to win. After being swept up in the magical world of Caraval, Donatella Dragna has finally escaped her father and saved her sister Scarlett from a disastrous arranged marriage. The girls should be celebrating, but Tella isn’t yet free. She made a desperate bargain with a mysterious criminal, and what Tella owes him no one has ever been able to deliver: Caraval Master Legend’s true name. The only chance of uncovering Legend’s identity is to win Caraval, so Tella throws herself into the legendary competition once more—and into the path of the murderous heir to the throne, a doomed love story, and a web of secrets...including her sister's. Caraval has always demanded bravery, cunning, and sacrifice. But now the game is asking for more. If Tella can’t fulfill her bargain and deliver Legend’s name, she’ll lose everything she cares about—maybe even her life. But if she wins, Legend and Caraval will be destroyed forever. Welcome, welcome to Caraval...the games have only just begun.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in Ann Louise Bardach's Cuban voyage she came across Cartas de Presidio or The Prison Letters of Fidel Castro. Edited by Luis Conte Aguero, who was the recipient of most of these letters, they are cited in every important work from Hugh Thomas' opus Cuba to Tad Szulc's Fidel biography, and everything in between and since. These twenty-one letters (nine to Conte Aguero, six to his late sister and close collaborator, Lidia, one to his wife Mirta, one to his comrade in combat, Melba Hernandez letters, one to the great scholar Jorge Manach) are regarded as the single most valuable and revelatory document regarding Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution. Never before published in English, these letters were written when Castro was imprisoned for his failed attack on the Moncada from 1953 to 1955 and reveal a man of spectacular ambition and steely determination. A man, who despite being incarcerated to serve a lengthy prison term, never wavers in his confidence that he will one day rule Cuba.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Excellent. . . . a lucid, easy-to-follow account of what Stoicism as a way of life amounts to and how you might start to put it into practice.” —Nigel Warburton, author of A Little History of Philosophy To counter the daily anxieties, stress, and emotional swings caused by the barrage of stimuli that plagues modern life, many people have been finding unexpected solace in a philosophy from a very different and distant time: Stoicism. Today, more than 100,000 people are members of online communities for modern Stoics, and there are conferences, meet-ups, and workshops for those aspiring to walk the Stoic path. But what is Stoicism, and what makes it resonate so powerfully today? As John Sellars shows in The Pocket Stoic, the popular image of the isolated and unfeeling Stoic hardly does justice to the rich vein of thought that we find in the work of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius, the three great Roman Stoics. Their works are recognized classics, and for good reason—they speak to some of the perennial issues that face anyone trying to navigate their way through life. These writings, fundamentally, are about how to live—how to understand your place in the world, how to cope when things don’t go well, how to manage your emotions, how to behave toward others, and finally, how to live a good life. To be a Stoic is to recognize that much of the suffering in your life is due to the way you think about things, and that you have the ability to train your mind to look at the world in a new way—to recognize what you can and can’t control and turn adversity into opportunity. The Pocket Stoic is a concise introduction to the lives and thought of the key Stoics—and a perfect guide to incorporating the practice of Stoicism into your everyday life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Washington Post Book World has written that Fernando Pessoa was "Portugal's greatest writer of the twentieth century [though] some critics would even leave off that last qualifying phrase" and "one of the most appealing European modernists, equal in command and range to his contemporaries Rilke and Mandelstam." The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa, a Los Angeles Times Best Book of 2001, spans playful philosophical inquiry, Platonic dialogue, and bitter intellectual scrapping between Pessoa and his many literary alter egos ("heteronyms"). The heteronyms launch movements and write manifestos, and one of them attempts to break up Pessoa's only known romantic relationship. Also included is a generous selection from Pessoa's masterpiece, The Book of Disquiet, freshly translated by Richard Zenith from newly discovered materials. The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa is an important record of a crucial part of the literary canon. "Zenith's selection is beautifully translated, compact while appropriately diverse." -- Benjamin Kunkel, Los Angeles Times "[Pessoa] is one of those writers as addictive, and endearing, as Borges and Calvino." -- Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, which reaffirms the uncompromising brilliance of his mind, Cioran strips the human condition down to its most basic components, birth and death, suggesting that disaster lies not in the prospect of death but in the fact of birth, "that laughable accident." In the lucid, aphoristic style that characterizes his work, Cioran writes of time and death, God and religion, suicide and suffering, and the temptation to silence. Through sharp observation and patient contemplation, Cioran cuts to the heart of the human experience. “A love of Cioran creates an urge to press his writing into someone’s hand, and is followed by an equal urge to pull it away as poison.”—The New Yorker “In the company of Nietzsche and Kierkegaard."—Publishers Weekly "No modern writer twists the knife with Cioran's dexterity. . . . His writing . . . is informed with the bitterness of genuine compassion."—Boston Phoenix

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely practical reference addresses the lack of Spanish-language resources for mental health professionals to use with their Latino clients. Geared toward both English- and Spanish-speaking practitioners in a variety of settings, this volume is designed to minimize misunderstandings between the clinician and client, and with that the possibility of inaccurate diagnosis and/or ineffective treatment. Coverage for each topic features a discussion of cultural considerations, guidelines for evidence-based best practices, a review of available findings, a treatment plan, plus clinical tools and client handouts, homework sheets, worksheets, and other materials. Chapters span a wide range of disorders and problems over the life-course, and include reproducible resources for: Assessing for race-based trauma. Using behavioral activation and cognitive interventions to treat depression among Latinos. Treating aggression, substance use, abuse, and dependence among Latino Adults. Treating behavioral problems among Latino adolescents. Treating anxiety among Latino children. Working with Latino couples. Restoring legal competency with Latinos. The Toolkit for Counseling Spanish-Speaking Clients fills a glaring need in behavioral service delivery, offering health psychologists, social workers, clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other helping professionals culturally-relevant support for working with this under served population. The materials included here are an important step toward dismantling barriers to mental health care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The multifaceted and labyrinthine oeuvre of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) is distinguished by having been written and published under more than seventy different names. These were not mere pseudonyms, but what Pessoa termed 'heteronyms,' fully realized identities possessed not only of wildly divergent writing styles and opinions, but also of detailed biographies. In many cases, their independent existences extended to their publication of letters and critical readings of each other's works (and those of Pessoa 'himself'). Long acclaimed in continental Europe and Latin America as a towering presence in literary modernism, Pessoa has more recently begun to receive the attention of an English-speaking public. Embodying Pessoa responds to this new growth of interest. The collection's twelve essays, preceded by a general introduction and grouped into four themed sections, apply a range of current interpretative models both to the more familiar canon of Pessoa's output, and to less familiar texts – in many cases only recently published. As a whole, this work diverges from traditional Pessoa criticism by testifying to the importance of corporeal physicality in his heteronymous experiment and to the prominence of representations of (gendered) sexuality in his work.
