Imperfection: A Natural History
Telmo Pievani
In praise of imperfection: how life on our planet is a catalog of imperfections, errors, alternatives, and anomalies.<br/><br/>In the beginning, there was imperfection, which became the source of all things. Anomalies and asymmetries caused planets to take shape from the bubbling void and sent light into darkness. Life on earth is a catalog of accidents, alternatives, and errors that turned out to work quite well. In this book, Telmo Pievani shows that life on our planet has flourished and survived not because of its perfection but despite (and perhaps because of) its imperfection. He begins his story with the disruption-filled birth of the universe and proceeds through the random DNA copying errors that fuel evolution, the transformations of advantages into handicaps by natural selection, the anatomical and functional jumble that is the human brain, and our many bodily mismatches.<br/><br/>Along the way, Pievani tells readers about the Irish elk (incidentally, neither Irish nor elk), whose enormous antlers serve to illustrate the first two laws of imperfection; the widespread dissemination of costly or useless traits; and the neuroimperfection of the human brain—“a frozen accident of evolution that was not designed from scratch,” as Pievani calls it. He sizes up the alleged perfection of the human body, asking, for example, if everything in our bodies serves a purpose, why do we have appendixes? Why bipedalism, with the inevitable back pain that results? In this fascinating account, Pievani offers the first comprehensive explanatory theory for the ubiquity of imperfection.
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>
