Abundância: O caminho interior para a riqueza
by Deepak ChopraDescubra as chaves para uma vida de sucesso, realização, plenitude e abundância. «Para alcançar uma riqueza duradoura, aquela que confere sentido, valor e sustento à vida, a sua existência diária deverá assentar na generosidade do espírito. Tudo o que desejar para além disso surgirá de forma natural.» DEEPAK CHOPRA Muitos de nós vivem e agem a partir de uma mentalidade de carência, escassez e limitação. Concentramo-nos no que não temos - segurança financeira, confiança, um relacionamento íntimo -, o que faz com que nos sintamos inseguros e desajustados. Pensamos: «Se conseguisse ter essas coisas, poderia ser feliz.» Mas medir a riqueza em dinheiro ou bens materiais deixa-nos esgotados e espiritualmente vazios. Insistir em lutar por mais, significa, muitas vezes, que o nosso ego controla os nossos pensamentos, ações e reações, o que nos impede de alcançar algo maior: uma verdadeira sensação de paz interior, aceitação e realização. No entanto, existe um caminho interior para a prosperidade e a abundância, que, uma vez traçado e explorado, oferece acesso às grandes riquezas do Universo e às possibilidades ilimitadas da vida. Em Abundância, o autor bestseller internacional Deepak Chopra ilumina esse caminho para o sucesso e a plenitude, ajudando-nos a explorar um sentido mais profundo de consciência, de modo que nos tornemos agentes de mudança nas nossas próprias vidas. Misturando ensinamentos antigos e práticas espirituais com a sabedoria que acumulou ao longo de quatro décadas como a principal figura da medicina mente-corpo, Chopra demonstra como transcender sentimentos autogerados de limitação e medo, para experimentar a verdadeira abundância em todos os aspetos da vida. Oferece um plano de sete etapas, juntamente com meditações e técnicas de atenção plena, o que nos ajuda a focar e dirigir a nossa atenção, energia e intuição, para podermos experimentar estabilidade, riqueza, conhecimento, criatividade, amor e verdadeiro poder. «Um guia envolvente destinado a "transformar consciência em riqueza" por meio do ioga e da meditação.»Publishers Weekly

Access to Origins: Affines, Ancestors, and Aristocrats
by Mary W. HelmsIn many non-industrial, non-Western societies, power and prestige are closely linked to the extent of an individual's or group's perceived connection to the supernatural realm, which also explains and validates tangible activities such as economic success, victories in war, or control over lucrative trade. Affines (in-laws), ancestors, and aristocrats, in particular, are connected to the realm of creative cosmological origins (i. e. , to Genesis), which accords them distinctive, supernatural powers and gives them a natural and legitimate right to worldly authority. This is the hypothesis that Mary W. Helms pursues in this broadly cross-cultural study of aristocracy in chiefly societies. She begins with basic ideas about the dead, ancestors, affines, and concepts of cosmological origins. This leads her to a discussion of cosmologically defined hierarchies, the qualities that characterize aristocracy, and the political and ideological roles of aristocrats as wife-givers and wife-takers (that is, as in-laws). She concludes by considering various models that explain how societies may develop or define aristocracies.

Accidental Brothers: The Story of Twins Exchanged at Birth and the Power of Nature and Nurture
by Nancy L. Segal Yesika S. Montoya"A unique window into human behavior and development." —Steven PinkerThe riveting story of two sets of identical twins separated at birth and improbably reunited as adults, a dream case for exploring nature and nurture.Accidental Brothers tells the unique story of two sets of identical Colombian twin brothers who discovered at age 25 that they were mistakenly raised as fraternal twins—when they were not even biological brothers. Due to an oversight that presumably occurred in the hospital nursery, one twin in each pair was switched with a twin in the other pair. The result was two sets of unrelated “fraternal” twins—Jorge and Carlos, who were raised in the lively city of Bogotá; and William and Wilber, who were raised in the remote rural village of La Paz, 150 miles away. Their parents and siblings were aware of the enormous physical and behavioral differences between the members of each set, but never doubted that the two belonged in their biological families. Everyone’s life unraveled when one of the twins—William—was mistaken by a young woman for his real identical twin, Jorge. Her “discovery” led to the truth—that the alleged twins were not twins at all, but rather unrelated individuals who ended up with the wrong families. Blending great science and human interest, Accidental Brothers by Nancy L. Segal and Yesika S. Montoya will inform and entertain anyone interested in how twin studies illuminate the origins of human behavior, as well as mother-infant identification and the chance events that can have profound consequences on our lives.
