Join three literary scholars and award-winning professors as they introduce you to dozens of short masterpieces that you can finish - and engage with - in a day or less. Perfect for people with busy lives who still want to discover-or rediscover-just how transformative an act of reading can be, these 36 lectures range from short stories of fewer than 10 pages to novellas and novels of around 200 pages. Despite their short length, these works are powerful examinations of the same subjects and themes that longer "great books" discuss.

La proclamación neoliberal de la libertad se manifiesta en realidad como un imperativo paradójico: sé libre. Domina una economía de la supervivencia en la que cada uno es su propio empresario. El neoliberalismo, con sus desinhibidos impulsos narcisistas del yo y del rendimiento, es el infierno de lo igual, una sociedad de la depresión y el cansancio compuesta por sujetos aislados.

Un autor ✍️ enojado con el rumbo del mundo
Revisado: 12-22-21
Percibo una insatisfacción del autor con tendencias globales. En lugar de plantear “soluciones “ en busca de sentido y entendimiento de la realidad, me parece una postura de negación.

What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There's no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson. But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.

Does God exist? Do we have a soul? Is it possible to make contact with a spiritual realm? How should we respond to the divine? Will life continue beyond death?Most people, whether deeply religious or outright doubters of any spiritual power, have probably pondered these questions for themselves. In fact, the religious impulse is so powerfully pervasive that neuroscience has posed a provocative question: Are our brains wired to worship?

Unconscious biases everywhere in the lectures
Revisado: 05-05-19
The professor providing the lecture adjusts facts and data to fit his own beliefs.
Needs effort from the listener to separate actual facts and make his/her own conclusions.

Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we are all susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself.

In this delightful, acclaimed bestseller, one of the world’s leading cognitive scientists tackles the workings of the human mind. What makes us rational—and why are we so often irrational? How do we see in three dimensions? What makes us happy, afraid, angry, disgusted, or sexually aroused? Why do we fall in love? And how do we grapple with the imponderables of morality, religion, and consciousness?

- How the Mind Works
- De: Steven Pinker
- Narrado por: Mel Foster
Very interesting , still sometimes repetitive
Revisado: 12-18-12
If you could sum up How the Mind Works in three words, what would they be?
Insightfull, Profound, Unstable
What was one of the most memorable moments of How the Mind Works?
The concept about the diferent modes that the brain processes information is interesting, still I think needs a little polishing.
What does Mel Foster bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narratives of personal experiences are very interesting when heard with the tone of voice of the person that experienced them.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It is a profound book with many concepts which I prefered digesting in various sesions. I listen to it while jogging and it was perfect.
Any additional comments?
Very detailed and most concepts are supported by examples, still there are some times that ideas were presented without too much support.
