Qual é o caminho para a verdadeira felicidade? Como encontrar propósito na vida? Como lidar com nossas emoções e superar perdas irreparáveis? A filosofia dos estoicos pode nos dar as respostas para essas perguntas. Nesta abordagem prática à filosofia estoica, Ryan Holiday e Stephen Hanselman oferecem um guia para cultivarmos, dia após dia, a arte de viver.

Para conquistar el mundo, uno debe conquistarse primero a sí mismo: las emociones, las acciones y los pensamientos. Eisenhower dijo que la libertad es la práctica de la autodisciplina. Cicerón definió la virtud de la templanza como el esplendor de la vida. Sin límites ni autocontrol, no solo nos arriesgamos a no alcanzar nuestro potencial y a perder lo que hemos logrado, sino que, además, nos aseguramos una vida de humillación y miseria.

A turkey is the centerpiece of countless Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Yet most of us know almost nothing about today's specially bred, commercially produced birds. In this brief book, bestselling author Peter Singer tells their story—and, unfortunately, it's not a happy one. Along the way, he also offers a brief history of the turkey and its consumption, ridicules the annual US presidential "pardon" of a Thanksgiving turkey, and introduces us to "a tremendously handsome, outgoing, and intelligent turkey" named Cornelius. Above all, Singer explains how we can improve our holiday tables.

Nada es posible sin la virtud del coraje. Desde los antiguos espartanos hasta el Movimiento por los derechos civiles; desde científicos pioneros hasta empresarios innovadores; desde Charles de Gaulle hasta Florence Nightingale, los grandes líderes han pasado a la historia por los riesgos que se atrevieron a asumir. Sin embargo, hoy somos muchos los que nos vemos paralizados por el miedo.

Para los antiguos, la justicia iba mucho más allá que lo que sucedía en un tribunal. Era mucho más urgente que las ideas que se debatían en las aulas de Filosofía. Implicaba una forma de vida, el compromiso personal de hacer lo correcto por difícil que fuera.

Rockefeller hasta Amelia Earhart, pasando por Steve Jobs— siguieron la misma fórmula para convertir los obstáculos en oportunidades.

Em O obstáculo é o caminho, Holiday se inspira no estoicismo, a antiga filosofia grega de suportar a dor ou a adversidade com perseverança e resiliência, e mostra ao leitor que, no fim das contas, aquilo que o impede pode acabar o fortalecendo. Segundo o autor, os estoicos concentram-se nas coisas que podem controlar, abandonam todo o resto e transformam cada novo obstáculo em uma oportunidade de melhorar e se tornar mais forte e resistente.

This book is not about holidays. It is about you. For forty-five years, I stood behind a chair and listened. Men don’t talk about philosophy in a barbershop. They talk about real life. Why they feel excited for certain days. Why some holidays feel empty. Why one day in the year feels more important than all the others. Some say: “I don’t even know why I celebrate this anymore.”

The holly-jolly holidays aren’t for everyone, least of all when you look back on that one Christmas when there were two definitely haunted dolls waiting for you and your sister under the tree. You have to assume that’s where it all started. And so it was for Jenny Lawson. Now, she lives in the land of eternal Halloween, as evidenced by her interior decor and general state of darkness. (Although, if you ask her, her taxidermy zoo is less dark, more delightful. But not everyone has taste, so what are you going to do?)

The Return of the Light makes an ideal companion for everyone who carries on this tradition, no matter what their faith.
