Thrilled to Death: How the Endless Pursuit of Pleasure Is Leaving Us Numb
by Archibald HartA fascinating exploration of the profound loss of pleasure in our daily lives and the seven steps for restoring it. Pleasure. We know what it feels like and many of us spend our days trying to experience it. But can too much pleasure actually be bad for us? Yes, says Dr. Archibald Hart, clinical psychologist and expert in behavorial psychology. Backed by recent brain-imaging research, Dr. Hart shares that to some extent, our pursuit of extreme and overstimulating thrills hijacks our pleasure system and robs us of our ability to experience pleasure in simple things. We are literally being thrilled to death. In this insightful book, Dr. Hart explores the stark rise in a phenomenon known as anhedonia, an inability to experience pleasure or happiness. Previously linked only to serious emotional disorders, anhedonia is now seen as a contributing factor in depression (specifically nonsadness depression) and in the growing number of people who complain of profound boredom. This emotional numbness and loss of joy are results of the overuse of our brain's pleasure circuits. In Thrilled to Death, Dr. Hart explains the processes of the brain's pleasure center, the damaging trends of overindulgence and overstimulation, the signs and problems of anhedonia, and the seven important steps we must take to recover our wonderful joy in living.

Then using exercises designed to identify areas that need addressing, it aims to "tune up" these executive functions for maximum productivity. In contrast to many books on ADHD, which can have good ideas but lack practical ways to apply them in everyday life, this guide includes specific recommendations for improving distractibility, working memory, attention, organization, time management, and response inhibition deficits.

Longpath: Becoming the Great Ancestors Our Future Needs – An Antidote for Short-Termism
by Ari Wallach"An antidote to nearsightedness. Ari Wallach won’t just leave you planning months or years ahead—he challenges you to look generations ahead. Get ready to think and think again." — Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLifeA paradigm-shifting manifesto for transforming our thinking from reactionary short-termism to the long-term, widening our scope beyond today, tomorrow, and to even five hundred years from now to reclaim meaning in our lives.Many of the problems we face today, from climate change to work anxiety, are the result of short-term thinking. We are constantly bombarded by notifications and “Breaking News” that are overwhelming our central nervous systems, forcing us to react in the moment and ultimately disconnecting us from what truly matters. But there is a solution.Futurist Ari Wallach offers a radical new way forward called “longpath,” a mantra and mindset to help us focus on the long view. Drawing on history, theology, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and social technologies, Longpath teaches readers to strengthen their ability to look ahead, relieve reactions to stressful events, increase capacity for cooperation, and even boost creativity. Wallach challenges readers to ask themselves, “to what end?”—what is my ultimate goal and how does my choice align with my values? And even more provocatively, Wallach challenges readers to ask “to what end?” for civilization at large.Whether it’s work, marriage, parenting, or simply trying to be a good human on the planet, framing decisions from a much larger scale creates a more fulfilling and sustainable life now and for future generations.

¿Qué haría Frida?: Una guía para vivir atrevidamente
by Arianna DavisA través de las reflexiones sobre esta singular vida, Davis nos invita a invocar la audacia de Frida para guiarnos por nuestros propios caminos. Venerada tanto por su espíritu salvaje, como por su arte, Frida Kahlo es un símbolo de creatividad arriesgada.Durante décadas sus pinturas han permanecido atemporales, cautivando admiradores de distintas generaciones alrededor del mundo. Sin embargo, su más grande obra de arte es quizá su propia vida. ¿Qué haría Frida? celebra el estilo característico de esta icónica mujer, la franqueza de sus ideales, su apasionada vida amorosa y su intrépido arte —incluso frente a las dificultades, el dolor y la angustia—. Sus páginas rinden homenaje a una mujer que amó profundamente y vivió con ambición, negándose a permanecer a la sombra de su esposo, el famoso muralista Diego Rivera. Frida se enfrentó a diversos obstáculos, sin embargo, su tenacidad para abrazar y luchar por sus propias creencias, la llevó a convertirse en leyenda: una figura que bebía mucho, pintaba provocativamente, ejercía con libertad su sexualidad y con todo mundo dejaba correr los rumores de sus relaciones, desde León Trotsky, hasta Josephine Baker. A través de las reflexiones sobre esta singular vida, Davis nos invita a invocar la audacia de Frida para guiarnos por nuestros propios caminos. «Una versión contemporánea de una mujer que fue moderna más allá de su tiempo. El libro de Arianna Davis pinta una imagen colorida de la fuerza, el coraje y el amor que animaron a Frida Kahlo a través de sus tragedias. Esta mirada completa a su vida me lleva a pensar que todos podrían aprender una lección o dos de Frida.» —Nina García, editora en jefe de Elle «Una lectura obligada. Este es un retrato sincero de una mujer brillante y compleja cuya audaz perspectiva sobre la creatividad, el trabajo y el sexo resiste la prueba deltiempo.» —Jessica Knoll, autora bestseller deThe New York Times de La chica que lo tenía todo «Arianna Davis presenta un hermoso testimonio para que las mujeres contemporáneas sigamos los pasos de Frida mientras navegamos por el amor, el trabajo, la creatividad, la amistad e incluso cómo nos vestimos por la mañana. Este vibrante libro de historia y autoayuda es un regalo.» —Gabrielle Korn, directora de moda y cultura en Refinery29 «Frida Kahlo verdaderamente hizo de su confianza, su autoaceptación y su intrepidez, una forma de arte. Este libro nos recuerda de una manera hermosa qué abundante puede ser la fuerza de una mujer.» —Julissa Prado, fundadora y CEO de Rizos Curls
