Viver bem: várias concepções e diferentes perspectivas
Para se viver bem é necessário bem viver e bem-estar. Ou seja, a fim de se alcançar o equilíbrio entre vida pessoal, vida em sociedade e natureza (viver bem), precisa-se manter a saúde física e mental, por meio do cuidado consigo, com vistas a estabelecer boas relações pessoais, no trabalho e com o ambiente natural (bem viver). Além disso, é essencial garantir-se condições para que todos desfrutem de uma existência plena e realizada (bem-estar). Este estado ideal depende de um Estado democrático e plural, sustentado por uma sociedade includente, em que os valores humanos, as culturas locais e a conservação sustentável da natureza sejam respeitadas. Entretanto, isto implica e...
Coração
De há muito vem a neurociência, em seus estudos, assinalando o papel central das emoções e dos sentimentos na vida mental e na vida social, papel esse ancorado em estruturas orgânicas específicas. O corpo é expressão da mente. A fisiologia é expressão da dinâmica psíquica. O coração, em sua expressão física habitual, é o correlato fisiológico dos processos espirituais profundos de sustentação da vida e da emotividade. Por isso, quando falamos que nossos corações nos conduzem pelas estradas da vida, não estamos enunciando mera metáfora, mas, sim, uma verdade profunda: a de que os sentimentos nos dão a direção para a qual se movem os recursos da inteligência, na edificação dos nossos destinos. Indispensável, assim, sentir elevando a vida, disciplinando a razão e construindo sentimentos nobres naqueles que podemos alcançar pelas ondas de nossas emoções, no ritmo dos batimentos cardíacos que nos marcam a vida" (Arandir Calheiros). Vamos ouvir o coração, sentir cada batimento como um chamado para a vida em plenitude, construção de otimismo e esperança.
Christian Spirituality
Christian Spirituality is a concise and accessible overview of the ways Christians over the centuries have approached God in prayer and practice. In ten chapters, Lawrence Cunningham and Keith Egan explain the dynamics of spiritual life, each chapter exploring a single theme such as scripture, journeying, meditation & contemplation, asceticism, mysticism, solitude & community, friendship, eucharist. The themes are not mutually exclusive since believers frequently embrace several or all of these "ways" at once. But in different times and places people have tended to focus on one or another, so that they have become discernible paths to the Holy. The authors explore each theme in depth, tracing its evolution over the centuries. Within this historical framework, the book provides the reader with a "taste" of the different ways Christians have sought or lived in the presence of God. Each chapter concludes with a list of selected works for further reading and with exercises intended to provide a personal experience of the "way".
Understanding Christian Spirituality
A readable overview of the contemporary spiritual scene that defines, outlines and advocates several models or methods for studying Christian spirituality. Aimed at college undergraduates and useful for those in spiritual counseling and direction.
The Italian
An emblematic story of the shipwreck of the Arab Spring At his father's funeral, to the great consternation of all present, Abdel Nasser beats the imam who is celebrating the funeral rite. The narrator, a childhood friend of the protagonist, retraces the story of "the Italian" from his days as a free and rebellious adolescent spirit to the leader of a student movement and then affirmed journalist. Those were crucial years in Tunisia, years of great tension, change, and repression. Against this background full of revolutionary ferments stands the tormented love story between Abdel Nasser and Zeina, a brilliant and beautiful philosophy student. Their dreams will unfortunately end up being wrecked under the ruthless gears of a corrupt and chauvinist society. Abdel Nasser's transformation from a young idealist with high hopes to a successful, but disillusioned and tired journalist is masterfully narrated in a stream of stories, digressions and flashbacks in which the narrative tension is always high. Winner of the 2015 International Prize for Arabic Fiction
Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
Handbook of Religion and Health
"The 2001 edition (1st) was a comprehensive review of history, research, and discussions on religion and health through the year 2000. The Appendix listed 1,200 separate quantitative studies on religion and health each rated in quality on 0-10 scale, followed by about 2,000 references and an extensive index for rapid topic identification. The 2012 edition (2nd) of the Handbook systematically updated the research from 2000 to 2010, with the number of quantitative studies then reaching the thousands. This 2022 edition (3rd) is the most scientifically rigorous addition to date, covering the best research published through 2021 with an emphasis on prospective studies and randomized controlled tr...
The Last Children of Tokyo
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
Toddler Hunting and Other Stories
An immeasurably influential female voice in post-war Japanese literature, Kono writes with a strange and disorienting beauty: her tales are marked by disquieting scenes, her characters all teetering on the brink of self-destruction. In the famous title story, the protagonist loathes young girls but compulsively buys expensive clothes for little boys so that she can watch them dress and undress. Taeko Kono's detached gaze at these events is transfixing: What are we hunting for? And why? Kono rarely gives the reader straightforward answers, rather reflecting, subverting and examining their expectations, both of what women are capable of, and of the narrative form itself.
