Vamos embarcar em uma viagem única e sem bilhete de volta para conhecer a origem e as raízes que alimentaram a mente e o espírito dos grande gênios da humanidade, conduzidos pelo aclamado autor Eric Weiner, um inveterado andarilho, amante da estrada e apaixonado pelo mundo em que vivemos. Um livro diferente: ora um diário de viagem, ora um romance repleto de informações históricas e costurado com muito humor e um olhar único de quem conhece o mundo como a palma de sua mão. De Atenas, na Grécia antiga, ao Vale do Silício dos dias de hoje, Weiner tenta compreender a conexão entre o ambiente e o surgimento dos grandes gênios que transformaram o mundo e abriram novos caminhos e possibilidades. Um verdadeiro passeio por onde as lâmpadas mais brilhantes da humanidade acenderam e iluminaram a nossa trajetória até hoje. Não são poucos os gênios espalhados por esse vasto planeta mas nem todos conseguiram colocar seu nome na história. Nas palavras de um dos grande gênios ainda vivos, Stephen Hawking, "a inteligência é a capacidade de se adaptar à mudança". E essa pode ser a grande faísca para um simples lampejo de genialidade capaz de mudar a rota da nossa história, das nossas vidas e de toda as nossas convicções. Com uma narrativa afiada e provocativa, ONDE NASCEM OS GÊNIOS redefine o argumento sobre como uma mente brilhante floresce e se torna o fruto da cultura e do ambiente que somos condicionados e inaugura a nova linha editorial da DarkSide® Books em grande estilo.

Bestselling author of Geography of Bliss returns with this funny, illuminating chronicle of a globe-spanning spiritual quest to find a faith that fits. When a health scare puts him in the hospital, Eric Weiner-an agnostic by default-finds himself tangling with an unexpected question, posed to him by a well-meaning nurse. "Have you found your God yet?" The thought of it nags him, and prods him-and ultimately launches him on a far-flung journey to do just that. Weiner, a longtime "spiritual voyeur" and inveterate traveler, realizes that while he has been privy to a wide range of religious practices, he's never seriously considered these concepts in his own life. Face to face with his own mortality, and spurred on by the question of what spiritual principles to impart to his young daughter, he decides to correct this omission, undertaking a worldwide exploration of religions and hoping to come, if he can, to a personal understanding of the divine. The journey that results is rich in insight, humor, and heart. Willing to do anything to better understand faith, and to find the god or gods that speak to him, he travels to Nepal, where he meditates with Tibetan lamas and a guy named Wayne. He sojourns to Turkey, where he whirls (not so well, as it turns out) with Sufi dervishes. He heads to China, where he attempts to unblock his chi; to Israel, where he studies Kabbalah, sans Madonna; and to Las Vegas, where he has a close encounter with Raelians (followers of the world's largest UFO-based religion). At each stop along the way, Weiner tackles our most pressing spiritual questions: Where do we come from? What happens when we die? How should we live our lives? Where do all the missing socks go? With his trademark wit and warmth, he leaves no stone unturned. At a time when more Americans than ever are choosing a new faith, and when spiritual questions loom large in the modern age, Man Seeks God presents a perspective on religion that is sure to delight, inspire, and entertain.

Along the way, you'll encounter Boschean beasts, giant squid, guitar-playing sea slugs, and the great pioneers of neuroscience.

That is, until he meets a real friend, and his life begins to change...

Current mainstream opinion in psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind holds that all aspects of human mind and consciousness are generated by physical processes occurring in brains. Views of this sort have dominated recent scholarly publication. The present volume, however, demonstrates empirically that this reductive materialism is not only incomplete but false. The authors systematically marshal evidence for a variety of psychological phenomena that are extremely difficult, and in some cases clearly impossible, to account for in conventional physicalist terms. Topics addressed include phenomena of extreme psychophysical influence, memory, psychological automatisms and secondary personality, near-death experiences and allied phenomena, genius-level creativity, and 'mystical' states of consciousness both spontaneous and drug-induced. The authors further show that these rogue phenomena are more readily accommodated by an alternative 'transmission' or 'filter' theory of mind/brain relations advanced over a century ago by a largely forgotten genius, F. W. H. Myers, and developed further by his friend and colleague William James. This theory, moreover, ratifies the commonsense conception of human beings as causally effective conscious agents, and is fully compatible with leading-edge physics and neuroscience. The book should command the attention of all open-minded persons concerned with the still-unsolved mysteries of the mind.

Antigone's Daughters? provides the first detailed discussion in English of six well-known Portuguese women writers, working across a wide range of genres: Florbela Espanca (1894-1930), Irene Lisboa (1892-1958), Agustina Bessa Lu's, (1923- ), Nat_lia Correia (1923-93), HZlia Correia (1949 -) and L'dia Jorge (1946 - ). Together they cover the span of the 20th century and afford historical insights into the complex gender politics of achieving institutional acceptance and validation in the Portuguese national canon at different points in the 20th century. Although a patrilinear evolutionary model visibly structures national literary history in Portugal to the present day, women writers and critics have not generally sought to replace this with a matrilinear feminist counter-history. The unifying metaphor that the authors adopt here for the purpose of discussing Portuguese women's ambivalent response to female genealogy is the classical figure of Antigone, who paradoxically sacrifices her own genealogical continuity in the name of defending family and kinship, while resisting the patriarchal pragmatics of state-building. Should women writers, faced with the absence of a female tradition, posit a woman-centred place outside the jurisdiction of male genealogy, however strategically essentialist that place may be, or should they primarily eschew fixed sexual identity to act as unnameable saboteurs, undoing the law of patriarchal tradition from within?

Inteligência espiritual é um assunto muito discutido atualmente por psicólogos e outros estudiosos da mente humana. Estudos científicos estão confirmando as palavras de Agostinho de que fomos feitos para Deus e inquieto estará nosso coração até repousar em Deus. Além de bio-psico-social, o ser humano também possui a dimensão espiritual, que é a mais elevada, pois se relaciona com o transcendente. E, ao conectar-se com Deus, ele volta à sua verdadeira origem. um ser criado à imagem divina, com vida plena.
