Good Morning America Un inspirador tributo al poder y la promesa de la autodisciplina; este es el segundolibro de la serie «Las 4 virtudes estoicas» Ryan Holiday, autor superventas de The New York Times . 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. En este nuevo libro, Ryan Holiday defiende la templanza como la virtud más importante. A lo largo de la historia ha recibido distintos nombres —autocontrol, disciplina...— pero todos hacen referencia a lo mismo: a gobernar en lugar de ser gobernado; a establecer tus propios límites; a marcar tus propios hábitos. Todos los grandes de la historia han practicado esta forma de autodominio, desde la leyenda del béisbol Lou Gehrig, hasta la reina Isabel II, la escritora Joyce Carol Oates, el emperador Marco Aurelio y Martin Luther King Jr., ministro y líder del movimiento por los derechos civiles. En una época de excesos y desorden, la autodisciplina es ahora más necesaria que nunca. ¿Te atreves a cavar hondo para encontrarla? Y, más importante, ¿la usarás? Solo con autodisciplina podrás dirigir tu vida rumbo a la verdadera realización. La crítica ha dicho: «Una lectura ágil y absorbente». Annie Duke, autora del best seller Thinking In Bets «Un poderoso argumento a favor de las virtudes y los valores por los que deben regirse los líderes de hoy».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In his New York Times bestselling book Courage is Calling, author Ryan Holiday made the Stoic case for a bold and brave life. In this much-anticipated second book of his Stoic Virtue series, Holiday celebrates the awesome power of self-discipline and those who have seized it. To master anything, one must first master themselves–one’s emotions, one’s thoughts, one’s actions. Eisenhower famously said that freedom is really the opportunity to practice self-discipline. Cicero called the virtue of temperance the polish of life. Without boundaries and restraint, we risk not only failing to meet our full potential and jeopardizing what we have achieved, but we ensure misery and shame. In a world of temptation and excess, this ancient idea is more urgent than ever. In Discipline is Destiny, Holiday draws on the stories of historical figures we can emulate as pillars of self-discipline, including Lou Gehrig, Queen Elizabeth II, boxer Floyd Patterson, Marcus Aurelius and writer Toni Morrison, as well as the cautionary tales of Napoleon, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Babe Ruth. Through these engaging examples, Holiday teaches readers the power of self-discipline and balance, and cautions against the perils of extravagance and hedonism. At the heart of Stoicism are four simple virtues: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. Everything else, the Stoics believed, flows from them. Discipline is Destiny will guide readers down the path to self-mastery, upon which all the other virtues depend. Discipline is predictive. You cannot succeed without it. And if you lose it, you cannot help but bring yourself failure and unhappiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Ryan Holiday ha llevado las antiguas enseñanzas del estoicismo a millones de lectores, desde atletas y políticos hasta directores ejecutivos». Good Morning America Una poderosa llamada a la acción para hacer lo correcto. Este es el tercer libro de la serie «Las 4 virtudes estoicas» de Ryan Holiday, autor superventas de The New York Times. 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. Para Marco Aurelio, cualquier acto de injusticia era «una blasfemia». Cicerón afirmó que el sentido del honor y el carácter de una persona definen sus actos. En Ser justo en un mundo injusto, Ryan Holiday afirma que la justicia es la virtud que rige todas las demás virtudes. Todo lo que vale la pena perseguir en la vida debe surgir de un compromiso con la justicia, del deseo de hacer el bien en este mundo. La historia está llena de ejemplos de personas corrientes que se convirtieron en héroes porque actuaron movidas por un fuerte sentido de la justicia: la obsesión de Harry Truman por la integridad personal,la voluntad de Susan B. Anthony de ser encarcelada en su lucha por la igualdad, la campaña desinteresada de Gandhi, que logró la independencia de la India, y muchos más. En esta era de corrupción y cobardía, la justicia te pregunta: «¿Qué vas a hacer? ¿Qué no vas a hacer? ¿Qué debes hacer?». Solo con esta virtud fundamental podrás pasar de la bondad a la grandeza. Reseñas: «En este momento de la historia no puede haber un libro más importante para la civilización. Ser justo en un mundo injusto es un regalo para la humanidad». Dra. EDITH EVA EGER «Un mensaje que todos debemos escuchar». ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

Download or read book La llamada del coraje Las 4 virtudes estoicas 1 written by Ryan Holiday and published by CONECTA. This book was released on 2022-05-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La llamada del coraje nos llega a cada uno de nosotros una vez en la vida. Si no respondes tú, ¿quién lo hará? Si no es ahora, ¿cuándo? Ryan Holiday, autor superventas y referente del estoicismo moderno, defiende el coraje como la virtud fundamental para vencer el miedo. 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. En este primer libro de una nueva serie sobre las virtudes cardinales del estoicismo, Ryan Holiday nos enseña por qué el coraje es tan importante y cómo cultivarlo en la vida diaria. A partir de las acciones de quienes han respondido a la llamada del destino, Holiday nos muestra cómo podemos dar un paso adelante incluso cuando los demás dan un paso atrás. Porque tener coraje es mucho más que lanzarse al combate. Tener coraje es hacer lo correcto, enfrentarse a las convenciones y defender las propias creencias; es creatividad, generosidad y perseverancia. Y es la única forma de vivir una vida plena, extraordinaria y efectiva. Todo en la vida empieza con el coraje. Y este libro te dotará de la valentía necesaria para dar el primer paso, para responder a la llamada. Reseñas: « La llamada del coraje de Ryan Holiday traza la historia del coraje y sus muchas facetas a lo largo de los años y llega al presente con una llamada urgente a la acción para cada uno de nosotros. Cuando nos enfrentemos a nuestros enemigos, tanto internos como externos, ¿acudiremos a la llamada del coraje o agacharemos la cabeza ante los susurros de la cobardía? La respuesta a esta pregunta va más allá del sentido del deber; es nuestra libertad la que está en juego. Va más allá de ganar o perder; es nuestra supervivencia la que está en juego. Depende de mí, depende de ti, depende de todos nosotros. Aceptemos el reto». Matthew McConaughey, actor ganador de un Oscar y autor bestseller de The New York Times «En un mundo repleto de personas mortificadas por el miedo y temerosas de dar la cara, nuestra salvación depende de cultivar el coraje en todas las áreas de la vida. Este libro de Ryan Holiday es una clara e inspiradora guía sobre cómo desarrollaresta importante virtud humana». Robert Greene, autor del bestseller Las 48 leyes del poder «Ryan Holiday muestra su propio coraje en este libro al no seguir la norma, al enfrentarse al poder con la verdad y al demostrarnos por qué no debemos ceder ante el miedo si queremos avanzar juntos con gracia y humanidad. Recopilando ejemplos de la historia –desde el mundo de la Grecia y la Roma antiguas a Florence Nightingale, hasta su propia crítica del «coraje vacío» de nuestro tiempo– Holiday explica por qué la virtud importa ahora más que nunca». Nancy Sherman, profesora de Filosofía en la Universidad de Georgetown. «En esta llamada a actuar de acuerdo con tus convicciones, Holiday se basaen un notable repertorio de personalidades, desde Sócrates hasta Solzhenitsyn. Un libro sincero y apasionante». Shadi Bartch, profesor de Filología Clásica en la Universidad de Chicago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superb general account.' Times Literary Supplement The story of the history of Western astrology begins with the philosophers of Greece in the 5th century BC. To the magic and stargazing of Egypt the Greeks added numerology, geometryand rational thought. The philosophy of Plato and later of the Stoics made astrology respectable, and by the time Ptolemy wrote his textbook the Tetrabiblos, in the second century AD, the main lines of astrological practice as it is known today had already been laid down. In future centuries astrology shifted to Islam only to return to the West in medieval times where it flourished until the shift of ideas during the Renaissance.

Download or read book Augustine of Hippo written by Peter Brown and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic biography was first published forty-five years ago and has since established itself as the standard account of Saint Augustine's life and teaching. The remarkable discovery of a considerable number of letters and sermons by Augustine cast fresh light on the first and last decades of his experience as a bishop. These circumstantial texts have led Peter Brown to reconsider some of his judgments on Augustine, both as the author of the Confessions and as the elderly bishop preaching and writing in the last years of Roman rule in north Africa. Brown's reflections on the significance of these exciting new documents are contained in two chapters of a substantial Epilogue to his biography (the text of which is unaltered). He also reviews the changes in scholarship about Augustine since the 1960s. A personal as well as a scholarly fascination infuse the book-length epilogue and notes that Brown has added to his acclaimed portrait of the bishop of Hippo.

Book excerpt: "Substantially the book that devotees of the director have been waiting for: a full-length critical work about Ozu's life, career and working methods, buttressed with reproductions of pages from his notebooks and shooting scripts, numerous quotes from co-workers and Japanese critics, a great many stills and an unusually detailed filmography."—Sight and Sound Yasujiro Ozu, the man whom his kinsmen consider the most Japanese for all film directors, had but one major subject, the Japanese family, and but one major theme, its dissolution. The Japanese family in dissolution figures in every one of his fifty-three films. In his later pictures, the whole world exists in one family, the characters are family members rather than members of a society, and the ends of the earth seem no more distant than the outside of the house.

Download or read book Protest and Democracy written by Moises Arce and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, political protests sprang up across the world. In the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, the United States unlikely people sparked or led massive protest campaigns from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. These protests were made up of educated and precariously employed young people who challenged the legitimacy of their political leaders, exposed a failure of representation, and expressed their dissatisfaction with their place in the aftermath of financial and economic crisis. This book interrogates what impacts--if any--this global protest cycle had on politics and policy and shows the sometimes unintended ways it continues to influence contemporary political dynamics throughout the world. Proposing a new framework of analysis that calls attention to the content and claims of protests, their global connections, and the responsiveness of political institutions to protest demands, this is one of the few books that not only asks how protest movements are formed but also provides an in-depth examination of what protest movements can accomplish. With contributions examining the political consequences of protest, the roles of social media and the internet in protest organization, left- and right-wing movements in the United States, Chile's student movements, the Arab Uprisings, and much more this collection is essential reading for all those interested in the power of protest to shape our world.

Download or read book Times Gone By written by Vicente Pérez Rosales and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These memoirs trace the wild and adventurous life of Pérez Rosales from his childhood up to the 1860s. During that approximately half-century he saw and did more than a dozen ordinary men. At age eleven in Argentina he witnessed the executions of Luis and Juan Jose Carrera. From there, his activities and adventures took him on several journeys on sailing vessels around Cape Horn; to Paris, where he witnessed the July revolution of 1830; to various commercial endeavors including a distillery, the practice of medicine, and cattle smuggling; into service as an advisor to an Argentine warlord; as a miner for precious metals in the north of Chile; as participant in the California Gold Rush in 1849; as director of the government's project for German immigration and settlement in the wild south of Chile; and also as Chilean consul and immigration agent in Hamburg. Around the world, Rosales lived through many of his era's watershed moments. His exciting memoirs offer a chance to relive the rush and chaos of these times--from a much safer vantage.

Download or read book Children of the Holocaust written by Helen Epstein and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1988-10-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I set out to find a group of people who, like me, were possessed by a history they had never lived." The daughter of Holocaust survivors, Helen Epstein traveled from America to Europe to Israel, searching for one vital thin in common: their parent's persecution by the Nazis. She found: • Gabriela Korda, who was raised by her parents as a German Protestant in South America; • Albert Singerman, who fought in the jungles of Vietnam to prove that he, too, could survive a grueling ordeal; • Deborah Schwartz, a Southern beauty queen who—at the Miss America pageant, played the same Chopin piece that was played over Polish radio during Hitler's invasion. Epstein interviewed hundreds of men and women coping with an extraordinary legacy. In each, she found shades of herself.
