Ikigai
Héctor García, Francesc Miralles · 2017
<b><b>INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • <b>2 MILLION+ COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE</b></b><br><br>“Workers looking for more fulfilling positions should start by identifying their ikigai.” ―<i>Business Insider</i><br> <br> “One of the unintended—yet positive—consequences of the [pandemic] is that it is forcing people to reevaluate their jobs, careers, and lives. Use this time wisely, find your personal ikigai, and live your best life.” ―<i>Forbes</i><br><br>Find your <i>ikigai</i> <b>(pronounced <i>ee-key-guy</i>) to live longer and bring more meaning and joy to all your days.</b></b><br><br><b><i>“Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.” —Japanese proverb </i></b><br> <br> According to the Japanese, everyone has an <i>ikigai</i>—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of <i>ikigai</i>—where what you love, what you’re good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means <i>retire</i> in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy.<br><br> In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. <i>Ikigai</i> reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the <i>ikigai</i> that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own <i>ikigai.</i> Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day?<br><br><b>What’s your <i>ikigai</i>?</b>

El amor, las mujeres y la vida
Mario Benedetti • 1996
El amor, las mujeres y la vida reúne los mejores poemas de amor escritos por Mario Benedetti, donde vuelca su concepción de la el amor como compensación de la muerte se levanta en sus versos lleno de fe, como fuerza principal que mueve al ser humano, como una proclama de la existencia, que va de la erótica del amante hasta la esperanza del revolucionario o la gratitud del amigo.
Poesie d''amore
Nazim Hikmet • 2021
Una poesia d'amore è, per Nâzim Hikmet, un nucleo di emotività e di pensiero in cui occorre fondere tutti gli aspetti della vita. Poeta d'amore e contemporaneamente poeta di battaglie, la forza dei suoi versi, lontanissimi dal cliché del lirismo erotico, risiede proprio in un'inesausta partecipazione a tutto ciò che accade nel mondo. È così che, in un dettato poetico incandescente, nato dall'incontro tra dolcezza orientale e moderna asprezza dei ritmi occidentali, due culture e due modi di vivere si uniscono, in composizioni d'amore che sono sintesi magnifiche di due facce - quella lirica e quella epica - della personalità di Hikmet e di ogni uomo.
Dell''amore e di altri demoni
Gabriel García Márquez • 2010
Da un'antica tomba nel convento delle clarisse di Cartagenaemerge una lunghissima chioma rossa. Dal singolare evento,cui il giovane García Márquez, allora cronista alle prime armi,si trovò ad assistere, scaturisce questo affascinante raccontopubblicato nel 1994, con il quale Gabo torna alle atmosferedi <i>Cent'anni di solitudine</i> e ai temi dell'<i>Amore ai tempi del colera</i>:la passione erotica che diventa malattia, metafora dellaletteratura e della vita. Al centro della vicenda, ambientata inuna Cartagena de Indias perduta in un vago e oscuro passatocoloniale, sospeso tra il possibile e il misterioso, c'è la passioneinnaturale e distruttiva che vede protagonisti una bellissimabambina morsa da un cane rabbioso, un medico negromantee un giovane esorcista posseduto dal mal d'amore.Costruito con la logica di Calderón de la Barca e l'ironia di Cervantes,<i>Dell'amore e di altri demoni</i> vive di una prosa insolitamentescarna ed essenziale. Una scrittura decantata e limpidache dà vita a pagine di struggente poesia e di emozionato pudorecon cui Gabriel García Márquez riesce ad avvincere illettore, trascinandolo in un enigmatico universo capace di travolgerei sensi e i sentimenti.

1984
George Orwell • 1961
<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...<br><br><b>• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s <i>The Great American Read •</i></b><br></b><br>“<i>The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.</i>”<br><br>Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...<br><br>A startling and haunting novel, <i>1984</i> creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
