Download or read book The Sun on My Head written by Geovani Martins and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling literary sensation in Brazil, a powerful debut short-story collection about favela life in Rio de Janeiro In The Sun on My Head, Geovani Martins recounts the experiences of boys growing up in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro in the early years of the twenty-first century. Drawing on his childhood and adolescence, Martins uses the rhythms and slang of his neighborhood dialect to capture the texture of life in the slums, where every day is shadowed by a ubiquitous drug culture, the constant threat of the police, and the confines of poverty, violence, and racial oppression. And yet these are also stories of friendship, romance, and momentary relief, as in “Rolézim,” where a group of teenagers head to the beach. Other stories, all uncompromising in their realism and yet diverse in narrative form, explore the changes that occur when militarized police occupy the favelas in the lead-up to the World Cup, the cycles of violence in the narcotics trade, and the feelings of invisibility that define the realities of so many in Rio’s underclass. The Sun on My Head is a work of great talent and sensitivity, a daring evocation of life in the favelas by a rising star rooted in the community he portrays.

Download or read book The Psychology of Money written by Morgan Housel and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.
Download or read book SEJA DESTEMIDO SUPERE SEUS MEDOS E ANSIEDADES E VIVA O MELHOR DA VIDA written by Waldenir José das Chagas de Oliveira and published by Waldenir José das Chagas de Oliveira. This book was released on 2023-04-12 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Um livro escrito por quem sofreu na própria pele com o medo e a ansiedade. Com uma linguagem simples e repleta de ensinamentos valiosos capazes de realmente ajudar, esse livro tem o poder de se tornar o seu grande aliado no combate as ansiedades e preocupações excessivas. Seja Destemido tem o propósito maior de fornecer ao leitor um leque de ferramentais que realmente podem ser aplicados de maneira prática. Além de trazer à luz de sua compreensão toda lógica por trás da formação de nossos maiores medos, do comportamento ansioso e da preocupação excessiva e tóxica, esta obra aborda, essencialmente, a temática do medo sobre duas perspectivas que irão emergir, inevitavelmente, na vida de qualquer ser humano. A primeira delas refere-se à uma tipologia de medo que, em muitos casos, não está aparente, encontrando-se camuflada em nossas desculpas, sobre a blindagem do ego ou de nosso orgulho. Esse tipo de medo aqui será alcunhado de “medo de viver o melhor da vida”. Embora seja recorrente, este medo é comumente negligenciado, estando presente nas macros-decisões que tomamos ao longo da carreira ou na vida daqueles que possuem dificuldade de confiar em suas próprias habilidades e competências. Já a segunda perspectiva será denominada de “o medo que nos impede de viver” – aquele que castra nossa liberdade e é capaz de abalar nossa saúde física e mental. Este medo, por sua vez, é relativamente fácil de ser percebido, uma vez que impacta, significativamente, nossa qualidade de vida em razão das claras e sérias manifestações físicas que costumam ocasionar. Seja Destemido trata-se, sobretudo, da minha história de superação e está alicerçado sobre todo um arcabouço de conhecimentos práticos e teóricos adquiridos diante de um forte desejo de conquistar a minha tão sonhada liberdade emocional. Esta obra concatena ideias, pensamentos e os conceitos mais modernos sobre o medo e ansiedade, percorrendo construtos e teorias de grandes nomes da área, tais como: Hal Elrod, Leonard Mlodinow, Zygmunt Bauman, Daniel Kahneman, Joseph O ‘Connor e Ethan Kross.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover What Makes Family Businesses Beat the Odds and Thrive over Generations Families are complicated; family businesses even more so. Like other companies, family-run enterprises must develop leadership and entrepreneurial skills. But they must also manage family dynamics that rarely mirror the best practices in the latest Harvard Business Review. Allan Cohen and Pramodita Sharma, scholars with deep professional and personal roots in family businesses, show how enterprising families can transmit the hunger for excellence across generations. Using examples of firms that flourished and those that failed, they describe the practices that characterize entrepreneurial individuals, families, and organizations and offer pragmatic advice that can be tailored to your unique situation.
