Historia
Pico Iyer has made more than one hundred retreats over the past three decades to a small Benedictine hermitage high above the sea in Big Sur, California. He’s not a Christian—or a member of any religious group—but his life has been transformed by these periods of time spent in silence. That silence reminds him of what is essential and awakens a joy that nothing can efface. It’s not just freedom from distraction and noise and rush: it’s a reminder of some deeper truths he misplaced along the way. In Aflame, Iyer connects with inner stillness and joy in his many seasons at the monastery.

The title is misleading. The book doesn't explore "silence" but only talks about being on tge periphery of monasteries.

silence aflame
Revisado: 02-16-25
Beautifully book..", There is nothing to think but oak tree and the ocean"
this book is a balm to our wounded soul. in time of incessant schooling and breaking news we are all confused and lost. we have to step back and" smell the Flowers. and Pick shows or this in his special way the book is read buy Pico and his melodious voice contributes to the quality of the book. I do highly recommend the book.

Welcome to the not-too-distant future: Japan, having vanished from the face of the earth, is now remembered as "the land of sushi." Hiruko, its former citizen and a climate refugee herself, has a job teaching immigrant children in Denmark with her invented language Panska (Pan-Scandinavian): "homemade language. no country to stay in. three countries I experienced. insufficient space in brain. so made new language. homemade language."

As the title suggest but o find it intriguing and interesting. there are many cultural an linguistic juxtapositions. Attempts of cross cultural communication and ethnic boundaries

Historia
Traveling from Iran to North Korea, from the Dalai Lama’s Himalayas to the ghostly temples of Japan, Pico Iyer brings together a lifetime of explorations to upend our ideas of utopia and ask how we might find peace in the midst of difficulty and suffering. Does religion lead us back to Eden or only into constant contention? Why do so many seeming paradises turn into warzones? And does paradise exist only in the afterworld – or can it be found in the here and now?

Revisado: 02-21-23
Pico does excellent job in showing us beauty of everyday life. His narration moves vertically in time horizontally in locations. No matter where he is Pico is “at home” and we as readers become immersed in his world. He is truly global citizen showing us that personal experience is most valuable.

Independence Day by Steve Lopez
Revisado: 01-08-23
This is outstanding book. I recommend it to all ages. Steve Lopez has an impeccable and fluid style easy to absorb yet complex. His experience with different social and ethnic classes, his wide range of interests and people he met gives him special perspective. He is compassionate, has sense of humor.We are all aging and changing. reading Independence day
Gives us instructions how to live at the moment irrespective of age.

Historia
On The Power of Vulnerability, Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise - that when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Here she dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.

Drawn by a fascination with Egypt's rich history and culture, Peter Hessler moved with his wife and twin daughters to Cairo in 2011. He wanted to learn Arabic, explore Cairo's neighborhoods, and visit the legendary archaeological digs of Upper Egypt. After his years of covering China for The New Yorker, friends warned him Egypt would be a much quieter place. But not long before he arrived, the Egyptian Arab Spring had begun, and now the country was in chaos.

Historia
Whether it's absent-minded mistakes at work, a weakness for junk food, a smartphone addiction, or a lack of exercise, everyone has some bad habit or behavior that they'd like to change. But wanting to change and actually doing it - and sticking with it - are two very different things. Dr. Sean Young, an authoritative new voice in the field of behavioral science, knows a great deal about our habits - how we make them and how we can break them.

Historia
The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture.

Superb
Revisado: 06-20-17
complexity of the brain gives in to the preciseness and clarity of s Feldman's prose.
everyone can profit and learn from this book from Psychiatrist,Psychologist Philosophers and plebeians.It is a pure Intellectual pleasure with many Aha moments and Ms Feldman humanism,sincerity and open-minded was are interwoven in a text. she realizes that in gargantuan task of explaining Brain and Emotional - there is no room for Dogmatism.
her optimism,self-effacement and showing our mortality is endearing
