The Happiness Hypothesis
Jonathan Haidt · 2006
Jonathan Haidt skillfully combines two genres-philosophical wisdom and scientific research-delighting the reader with surprising insights. He explains, for example, why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation. In a stunning final chapter, Haidt addresses the grand question "How can I live a meaningful life?," offering an original answer that draws on the rich inspiration of both philosophy and science. <p>Ê</p> "<i>The Happiness Hypothesis</i>is a wonderful and nuanced book that provides deep insight into the some of the most important questions in life--Why are we here?Ê What kind of life should we lead?Ê What paths lead to happiness?Ê From the ancient philosophers to cutting edge scientists, Haidt weaves a tapestry of the best and the brightest.Ê His highly original work on elevation and awe--two long-neglected emotions--adds a new weave to that tapestry.Ê A truly inspiring book."Ê -<b>David M. Buss</b>, author of<i>The Evolution of Desire:Ê Strategies of Human Mating</i> Ê ÒIn this beautifully written book, Jonathan Haidt shows us the deep connection that exists between cutting-edge psychological research and the wisdom of the ancients.Ê It is inspiring to see how much modern psychology informs life's most central and persistent questions <b>-Barry Schwartz, author of<i>The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less</i></b> Ê ÊÒIn our quest for happiness, we must find a balance between modern science and ancient wisdom, between East and West, and between Ôleft brainÕ and Ôright brain.Õ Jon Haidt has struck that balance perfectly, and in doing so has given us the most brilliant and lucid analysis ofÊvirtue and well-being in the entire literature of positive psychology.Ê For the reader who seeks to understand happiness, my advice is: Begin with Haidt.Ó -<b>Martin E.P. Seligman, Director, Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania and author of<i>Authentic Happiness</i></b> <b>Ê</b> ÒHaidt is a fine guide on this journey between past and present, discussing the current complexities of psychological theory with clarity and humor. . . HaidtÕs is an open-minded, robust look at philosophy, psychological fact and spiritual mystery, of scientific rationalism and the unknowable ephemeral Ð an honest inquiry that concludes that the best life is, perhaps, one lived in the balance of opposites.Ó -<b>Bookpage</b>

Christophe Galfard · 2020
No estás solo en el universo. Y no estás solo en este viaje por el universo. Estás tumbado mirando el cielo en una playa cuando alguien te coge de la mano. Te guía en una odisea alucinante hasta los agujeros negros, las galaxias más lejanas y el inicio mismo del cosmos. Abandonas tu cuerpo y te desplazas a velocidades imposibles, te introduces en un núcleo atómico, viajas en el tiempo, entras en el Sol. No es que te expliquen el universo. Es que lo tocas. No es que por fin entiendas el universo. Lo tienes en tu mano. **** Christophe Galfard, el mejor discípulo de Stephen Hawking, es uno de los divulgadores científicos más renombrados del planeta. "El universo en tu mano" ha recibido el premio al mejor libro de ciencia de 2015 en Francia, donde lleva vendidos más de 50.000 ejemplares.

En este libro encontrarás las herramientas necesarias para acompañar a la niña que todavía vive dentro de ti y ser hoy la adulta que te habría gustado tener a tu lado ayer.<br/><br/>«Antes de comenzar mi terapia y trabajar con mi niña interior, estaba enfadada y triste conmigo misma. No me sentía una buena adulta, lo que para mí implicaba hacerlo todo bien, no tener dudas y no sentir nunca incomodidad.<br/><br/>» Durante el proceso de reparar heridas, he aprendido a identificar lo que siento y a regularlo mejor para darme aquello que necesito; a acompañarme y acercarme cada vez más a esa niña que fui, siendo la adulta que necesité...<br/><br/>» Pero todo esto te lo quiero contar en detalle, para que tú también puedas conocerte mejor, reconectar con tu niña interior y transformar tu presente. Empecemos juntas». -Marta Segrelles<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>“This book is a balm for wounded souls.” María Esclapez, author of I Love Myself, I Love You and You Are Your Safe Space<br/><br/>Discover the healing power of embracing the child you once were.<br/><br/>What does my childhood have to do with the emotions I’m feeling now?

This book provides the tools to help you reunite with the child that still lives inside you by being the adult you wish had been with you then.<br/><br/>“Before starting inner child therapy, I was upset and angry with myself. I didn’t feel like a real adult, which for me meant doing everything right, never doubting oneself or feeling uncomfortable.<br/><br/>“During the healing process, I have learned to identify my feelings and self-regulate to give myself what I need, to rediscover and support the little girl I once was by being the adult I needed at that time…<br/><br/>“I want to tell you how I did this so that you too can learn to understand yourself better, reconnect with your inner child and transform your present. Let’s begin together.” -Marta Segrelles

The Complete Off-Campus Series Set
Elle Kennedy • 2023
<p>*A limited collector's bundle of 5 individual titles (not boxed) with illustrated covers and blue sprayed edges on the first print run.*</p> <p>New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy brings her signature angst, humor, and spice to the icy-hot Off Campus books. The series follows a house of hockey-playing college roommates and the women who knock them off their pedestals, teaching them that love is worth more than any game-scoring goal.</p> <p>The Deal</p> <p>Hannah Wells might be confident, but she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone...even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team, Garrett Graham, in exchange for a public pretend date. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of their lives, it doesn't take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn't going to cut it.</p> <p>The Mistake</p> <p>For college hockey star John Logan, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins hides growing despair about the dead-end road he'll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he's worth a second chance. But this time around, she'll be the one in the driver's seat...and she plans on driving him wild.</p> <p>The Score</p> <p>Wild rebound sex after a breakup is definitely not the solution to Allie Hayes's problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as hell won't include the king of one-night stands. Dean has never met a woman who's immune to his charms...until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world--and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It's not over until he says it's over.</p> <p>The Goal</p> <p>College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker...but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.</p> <p>The Legacy</p> <p>Four stories. Four couples. Three years of real life after graduation...</p> <p>A wedding. A proposal. An elopement. And a surprise pregnancy.</p> <p>Can you guess which Off Campus couple is which?</p>
The Tearsmith
Erin Doom • 2024
Tra le mura del Grave, l'orfanotrofio in cui Nica è cresciuta, si raccontano da sempre storie e leggende a lume di candela. La più famosa è quella del fabbricante di lacrime, un misterioso artigiano dagli occhi chiari come il vetro, colpevole di aver forgiato tutte le paure e le angosce che abitano il cuore degli uomini. Ma a diciassette anni per Nica è giunto il momento di lasciarsi alle spalle le favole tetre dell'infanzia. Il suo sogno più grande, infatti, sta per avverarsi. I coniugi Milligan hanno avviatole pratiche per l'adozione e sono pronti a donarle la famiglia che ha sempre desiderato. Nella nuova casa, però, Nica non è da sola. Insieme a lei viene portato via dal Grave anche Rigel, un orfano inquieto e misterioso, l'ultima persona al mondo che Nica desidererebbe come fratello adottivo. Rigel è intelligente, scaltro, suona il pianoforte come un demone incantatore ed è dotato di una bellezza in grado di ammaliare, ma il suo aspetto angelico cela un'indole oscura. Anche se Nica e Rigel sono uniti da un passato comune di dolore e privazioni, la convivenza tra loro sembra impossibile. Soprattutto quando la leggenda torna a insinuarsi nelle loro vite e il fabbricante di lacrime si fa improvvisamente reale, sempre più vicino. Eppure Nica, dolce e coraggiosa, è disposta a tutto per difendere il suo sogno, perché solo se avrà il coraggio di affrontare gli incubi chela tormentano, potrà librarsi finalmente libera come la farfalla di cui porta il nome.

It’s all she hoped for when watching endless rom-coms every Friday night. What she hadn't hoped for was to find it in her childhood best friend Levi. It was the hand-trembling, heart-thumping kind of love that wasn't supposed to happen when you saw your best friend. But it all ended when he didn’t feel the same way and she vowed to never see him again.<br/><br/>Four years later and one night in a crowded bar in the West Village, there he was, just as perfect as ever. Maybe it was the lighting or the way his hair curled above his brow, but she couldn’t say no when he asked her to be his fake girlfriend for his sister’s wedding. Another chance at being his friend and mending her immature mistake? How was she supposed to say no?<br/><br/>The weight of possible rejection from her dream grad school quickly became the least of her problems. With old, resurfacing feelings at every staged, romantic interaction and stolen glance, she struggles to find confidence. She couldn't help but think that maybe she should’ve said no to protect her heart for a second time.

She is funny, smart, and explosively engaged in the wonders and weirdness of the world. But what makes this memoir more than mere entertainment is the mature and sophisticated evolution that Alderton describes in these pages. It’s a beautifully told journey and a thoughtful, important book. I loved it.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and City of Girls<br/>The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride<br/>When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and—above all else— realizing that you are enough.<br/>Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age—making you want to pick up the phone and tell your best friends all about it.
