Hábitos: Passos Simples Para Transformar Sua Vida E Apenas Hábitos Existentes
by Sean SmithUm hábito é algo que é realizado sem pensar. Se uma pessoa precisar ser lembrada para fazer alguma coisa, isso não é um hábito. Se eles fizerem isso ou precisarem forçar a lo-lo, isso não é um hábito. Não é exagero dizer que um hábito é natural para uma pessoa que possui como respirar. Um mordedor de unhas habitual, por exemplo, pode nem perceber que está fazendo isso. É por isso que a quebra de hábitos geralmente requer intervenção vigorosa. Por exemplo, os mordedores de unhas pintam um verniz amargo nas unhas para serem alertados toda vez que colocam os dedos na boca. Os usuários habituais de mídia social instalam o software que bloqueia ativamente ou usa a mídia social durante as datas do dia. Esses tipos de alteração tornam-se as pessoas mais conscientes de seus hábitos, e a conscientização é o primeiro passo para interromper-los.

I Am Still With You: A Reckoning with Silence, Inheritance, and History
by Emmanuel IdumaIn this &“epic and intimate&” memoir (Margo Jefferson, author of Constructing a Nervous System), acclaimed writer Emmanuel Iduma returns to Nigeria to investigate the disappearance of his uncle and confront the truth about a war that shaped him, his family, and a nation: &“Quietly brilliant&” (Vulture) NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORKER AND TIME MAGAZINE In inimitable, rhythmic prose, the author and winner of the prestigious Windham-Campbell Prize Emmanuel Iduma tells the story of his return to Nigeria, where he grew up, after years of living in New York. He traveled home with an elusive mission: to learn the fate of his uncle Emmanuel, his namesake, who disappeared in the Nigerian Civil War in the late 1960s. A conflict that left so many families broken, the war remains at the margins of the history books, almost taboo to discuss. To find answers, Iduma stopped in city after city throughout the former Biafra region, reconnecting with relatives dear and distant to probe their memories, prowling university libraries to furtively photocopy illicit books, and visiting half-abandoned monuments along the highway. Perhaps, he realized, if he could understand how his father grieved the loss of a brother in the war, he might learn how to grieve his late father in turn. His is also the story of countless families across the country and across the world who will never have answers or proper funerals for their loved ones. It&’s a story about the birth of an artist, about writing itself as an act both healing and political, even dangerous. And it&’s a story about family history and legacy, and all the questions the dead leave unanswered. How much of the author&’s identity is wrapped up in this inheritance? And what does it mean to return home, when the people who define it are gone? Equal parts memoir, national history, and political reckoning, I Am Still With You is a profoundly personal story of collective loss and making peace with the unknowable.

I Am a Strange Loop
by Douglas R. HofstadterCan thought arise out of matter? Can self, soul, consciousness, "I” arise out of mere matter? If it cannot, then how can you or I be here? I Am a Strange Loop argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the "strange loop”--a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains. The most central and complex symbol in your brain is the one called "I. ” The "I” is the nexus in our brain, one of many symbols seeming to have free will and to have gained the paradoxical ability to push particles around, rather than the reverse. How can a mysterious abstraction be real--or is our "I” merely a convenient fiction? Does an "I” exert genuine power over the particles in our brain, or is it helplessly pushed around by the laws of physics? These are the mysteries tackled in I Am a Strange Loop, Douglas Hofstadter’s first book-length journey into philosophy since Gödel, Escher, Bach. Compulsively readable and endlessly thought-provoking, this is a moving and profound inquiry into the nature of mind.

I Can Fix This: And Other Lies I Told Myself While Parenting My Struggling Child
by Kristina KuzmicFrom the author of Hold On, But Don&’t Hold Still, the emotionally charged and eye-opening account of a mother who navigates the cacophony of best practices and urgent advice from parenting authorities in search of a way to support her teen as he maps his own path to mental health.When Kristina Kuzmič started to see signs that her otherwise sunny, resilient teenage son was struggling, she was sure a few simple fixes could right the ship. But over the following months, the issues her family faced became more nuanced, complicated, and pervasive than she could've predicted—and what began as a clear to do list spiraled into an emotionally fraught and seemingly endless push and pull between signs of progress and overwhelming fear. Despite her best efforts, Kuzmič had internalized a set of obligations, ideas, and unrealistic standards from parenting culture and social media that left her unprepared to guide her child when he needed her most. Featuring an urgent and affirming foreword by renowned and New York Times bestselling clinician Dr. Shefali Tsabary—Kuzmič's new book debunks ten "parenting truths&” that kept her in crisis, and delves into her insecurities and the mistakes she made to reveal invaluable lessons and transformative approaches that worked. While her family stands on the other side now stronger than ever, Kuzmič's journey calls to parents who have felt the instinct to say &“I can fix this&” in situations where good intentions far exceed our abilities to enact change.
