Other People's Love Letters
by Bill ShapiroFevered notes scribbled on napkins after first dates. Titillating text messages. It's-not-you-it's-me relationship-enders. In Other People's Love Letters, Bill Shapiro has searched America's attics, closets, and cigar boxes and found actual letters-unflinchingly honest missives full of lust, provocation, guilt, and vulnerability-written only for a lover's eyes. Modern love, of course, is not all bliss, and in these pages you'll find the full range of a relationship, with its whispered promises as well as its heartache. But what at first appears to be a deliciously voyeuristic peek into other people's most passionate moments, will ultimately reawaken your own desires and tenderness...because when you read these letters, you'll find the heart you're looking into is actually your own.* "i think UR great. wanna have wine & Tequila again sometime?"* "I can't believe you're real, and I think about you constantly in some way or the other all day. I haven't given the finger to anyone driving since I met you."* "With you I learned how to fight cleaner, how to talk things out better, and how to make a strong loving family out of nothing. These are priceless gifts that I will carry with me the rest of my life. One more thing you did for me: you left, and I had to get through it."* "P.S. I look forward to your letters too much to call. Also, where do you stand on chains?"From the Hardcover edition.
Other Me: A autoscopy about the reality of lide and the conception of the self.
by Antonio AlmasAnd then it came the time for silence; it had to come one day, because too many words disorders the mind, too much talking exhausts your head, overwhelm your senses and strays you from what's essential. I know that I attempted to run, that I couldn't accept loneliness and the absence of noise. I struggled to keep myself among others, to be like them, to have lots of friends, to go to lots of parties and feel lots of joy, but that was not who I was. I was a tiny, quiet person, who always wanted to be on their own, shut into their own world, in silence, hidden inside their own brain. I never had the hang for being public, even though I had such ability for argumentation. When I first started in the political arts, I felt uncomfortable with all the lies, the need for constantly being under the sight of the people, under the scrutiny of others; I was never into being scrutinized. Not sure if it's for fear, although, yes, I've always been afraid of everything, of being wimpy, of not being as good as the others. I always use others in a comparative way, after all, that's the way it is, we're always pointing out differences between ones and others, fighting to surpass the others instead of helping each other. In sum, a young one with inferiority complexes can only grow into an adult filled with insecurity, who, besides their obstinacy for an independent life and paying your own bills, has left behind a few fragilities which, apparently, weren't so evident though equally serious; as serious as those of who could not be in charge of building a solid, stable life.

by Daniela Pierre-Bravo2023 Int'l Latino Book Award Honorable Mentions This important book focuses on how women of color, children of immigrants, and other minoritized groups are predisposed to workplace imposter syndrome—and charts a path forward for self-advocacy and advancement. For women of color and children of immigrants, who are the &“the other&” at work, there's a different threshold of belonging that creates a false feeling of inadequacy. It can lead to being overwhelmed, overworked, and overlooked. The Other shatters the unspoken expectations for you to stay in your lane and gives you the tools to build unshakable confidence and a career that excels--on your own terms. Bestselling author and MSNBC reporter Daniela-Pierre Bravo spent many years undocumented and in the shadows as an immigrant from Chile, working odd jobs to pay her way through school. Like many other women of color she became an expert shape shifter in order to chameleon her way around professional environments that felt out of reach. When Daniela became a DACA recipient, she finally felt that she&’d made it, rising through the ranks in her career. But she quickly realized that no matter how much success she achieved, she always felt she had to prove her worth as &“the other.&” In The Other, Daniela shares her journey and those of other women to help you recognize your power in the workplace outside of the white gaze. She drives you to reshape the way you think about career advancement without losing your sense of identity and helps you see how to use your differences as an advantage. Smart, revealing, and loaded with practical steps, The Other is a framework for how to effectively advocate for yourself, become your biggest believer, claim the spaces in your career that are rightfully yours.

Os Sete Segredos Da Sorte
by Henry Osal Elaine Rosa DefendiSete passos simples que irão nos levar para mais perto de nossos sonhos. Um guia maravilhoso para uma vida feliz.Quando encontro pessoas que se sentem com sorte, as pessoas a quem a fortuna sorriu em algumas ou várias ocasiões, eles geralmente concordam em uma coisa: a sorte ou a fortuna não vieram por acaso.A sorte exige perseverança, entusiasmo e trabalho duro para se reconciliar conosco, ou seja, é preciso colocar esforçar-se para atraí-la para nossas vidas.Podemos identificar a SORTE como um golpe que nos chega uma vez na vida e perdemos todo o nosso tempo esperando por esta colisão, uma abordagem que na maioria dos casos é ineficaz.Nós tendemos a pensar em nossa ESTRELA DESAFORTUNADA quando nós, atordoados, vemos as notícias sobre pessoas felizes, que ganharam na loteria; encontraram petróleo embaixo de suas fazendas ou tiveram uma criança superdotada que os tornaram milionários. Estes são casos excepcionais.No entanto, nós não agradecemos à nossa ESTRELA DA SORTE quando vemos ou lemos notícias trágicas. Parece apenas que isto não pode acontecer conosco. E a probabilidade de que, por acaso, algo realmente bom nos aconteça é a mesma de que algo muito ruim nos aconteça: MUITO RARA.Então, vamos começar a pensar na sorte como algo que podemos controlar, como um caminho que podemos escolher, para alcançar um objetivo. Isto exige atenção a uma série de regras, que tenho chamado de SEGREDOS, embora na realidade estejam apenas carregados de senso comum.Vamos trilhar juntos este caminho.

Tenho certeza que vocês estão todos com muita fome... por que vocês não entram no carro e eu levo vocês para tomar um bom café da manhã? Eles simplesmente olharam para nós e, então, desviaram o olhar. Não tivemos resposta dos três pedintes. Aubrey deu a volta no parque e parou em outro ponto de ônibus coberto... Lá estava um pedinte deitado naquele banco de madeira duro. Aubrey cumprimentou o pedinte: -- Que manhã linda esta... Eu quero te dar um bom café da manhã, alguma comida boa, vamos... Entre no meu carro! Dessa vez, Aubrey teve sucesso. O pedinte abriu a porta, entrou no carro do Aubrey e nós fomos para a dele. Quando chegamos, Aubrey deu ao pedinte um sabonete, uma toalha de banho, um shampoo, um tubo de pasta de dente com uma escova, além de um pente e um aparelho de barbear. -- Tem um banheiro... Enquanto você toma banho, meu amigo Bernard e eu vamos preparar o café da manhã... venha para a sala e jantar quando estiver pronto! Eu fiquei muito surpreso... -- Aubrey, como você deixa um cara completamente estranho que você buscou na rua ficar sozinho no seu banheiro? E se ele entrar no seu quarto e roubar alguma coisa? Você nem conhece ele!... E a possibilidade de pegar uma doença? Você deu a ele a sua toalha e seu sabonete sem ao menos saber se ele está sofrendo de algum mal?

by Orlando EijoOrlando Eijo nos traz, desta vez, uma nova maneira de entender a relação entre o homem e o cão e com isso, a nossa própria natureza como seres humanos, tanto biológica como espiritualmente. Nesta oportunidade é através de uma delicada história, que deixará no leitor a sensação de uma deliciosa brisa de primavera. Francisco, um homem viúvo com muito desejo de dar mais de si, acaba de se aposentar do trabalho que exerceu por toda a sua vida. Com seus filhos independentes, seu lar solitário se torna uma prisão que o deprime. Eles decidem então presenteá-lo com um cachorro da raça Border Collie para que lhe faça companhia. Este cachorrinho o levará a iniciar uma nova atividade, o disc dog, se aprofundando nela a ponto de se deparar com o lado espiritual e profundo da relação humano-canina desde o seu início, quando, segundo a lenda Sioux, o Grande Espírito Wakán Tanka enviou os lobos como seus anjos, para ajudar o ser humano a transitar em sua passagem pela vida. Nas profundas conversas de Francisco com seu filho Jorge, psicólogo, o leitor encontrará um espaço para aprender conceitos de psicologia canina e humana de um modo claro e belo, não só compreendendo os nossos comportamentos, mas se aprofundando no amor à vida, tal como o Grande Espírito quis ensinar com seus enviados de quatro patas. O pequeno Border Collie provocará grandes mudanças em sua vida e na de outros personagens da história, história que o leitor devorará do princípio ao fim com avidez e sem esforço.

Origins of the Natural Law Tradition
by Robert N. Wilkin Thomas E. Davitt John S. Marshall“CONCEPTS of a Law of Nature are as old as Western philosophy. From its inception Greek philosophy was concerned to reduce the apparent chaos and conflict of the visible world to some principle of harmony and order. The true relationship of man to the world about him was of primary concern. Philosophical solutions of these problems were found in concepts of Natural Law by which men could be brought into an ideal relationship with each other and with their environment.“In selecting the four theories of Natural Law it was thought advisable to explore only concepts of Natural Law as a manifestation of universal order, leaving for the future the subsidiary notions of Natural Rights developed in more recent centuries. The four theories have been presented in terms of their principal expositors: Cicero, with his transcending synthesis of the Aristotelian man and the Stoic cosmology; St. Thomas Aquinas, with his Hellenized adaptation of traditional Jewish-Christian theology; Richard Hooker, who provided an intellectual bridge between the neoclassical Natural Law of Bracton, of John of Salisbury, and of Anglican theology, and the rationalist Natural Rights doctrines of the seventeenth century; and Herbert Spencer, who constructed a sort of Natural Law on the basis of the natural laws of biological existence as propounded by Charles Darwin.” (From the Introduction by Arthur L. Harding)
