Festina lente: make haste slowly
Not all hurry leads to hastiness. Not all slowness is synonymous with tardiness. Because of all the hustle and bustle, sometimes we pass through life without even looking it in the face. And sometimes if we don’t hurry we let life pass by, and we get stuck on the treadmill, among abandoned dreams, renounced potential, desires swallowed by time. It’s what Ana Cristina Leonardos and Martha Estima Scodro show with great sensitivity in Festina Lente — Make Haste Slowly. More than crafting a beautiful study of the female soul, Martha and Ana Cristina reveal here that which is most human on the surface of finiteness, in the construction of identities, and in the transience of feelings.

Festina lente
Festina Lente ou apressa-te lentamente – Tempos e Ritmos da mulher aos 50 é um estudo sobre a mulher de 50 anos. A partir de uma pergunta: Qual a pergunta mais importante que você se fez no último ano e por que ela é importante? as autoras constroem, em relato leve e profundo, um mosaico de temas do universo temporal feminino. Esses diferentes temas remetem a outras considerações contemporâneas como a percepção do tempo cronológico e emocional, os desafios na busca de redesenhar a vida e, principalmente, o medo e o fascínio perante o horizonte de vida ampliado. O fio condutor da narrativa é a contraposição das ideias pressa e vagar, em aparente incongruência entre acelerar e desfrutar o tempo.

Dialogic Organization Development
A Dynamic New Approach to Organizational Change Dialogic Organization Development is a compelling alternative to the classical action research approach to planned change. Organizations are seen as fluid, socially constructed realities that are continuously created through conversations and images. Leaders and consultants can help foster change by encouraging disruptions to taken-for-granted ways of thinking and acting and the use of generative images to stimulate new organizational conversations and narratives. This book offers the first comprehensive introduction to Dialogic Organization Development with chapters by a global team of leading scholar-practitioners addressing both theoretical foundations and specific practices.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy provides an introduction to the theory, history, research, and practice of this post-structural approach. First developed by David Epston and Michael White, this therapeutic theory is founded on the idea that people have many interacting narratives that go into making up their sense of who they are, and that the issues they bring to therapy are not restricted to (or located) within the clients themselves, but rather are influenced and shaped by cultural discourses about identity and power. Narrative therapy centers around a rich engagement in re-storying a client's narrative by re-considering, re-appreciating, and re-authoring the client's preferred lives and relationships....
