El arte de la buena vida book cover
El arte de la buena vida
Un camino hacia la alegría estoica (El arte de...)
William B. Irvine - 2009-11-04 (publicado por primera vez en 2008)
Calificación de Goodreads
Uno de los grandes temores al que muchos de nosotros nos enfrentamos es descubrir al final que hemos desperdiciado nuestra vida, a pesar de todos nuestros esfuerzos. En El arte de la buena vida, William B. Irvine explora la sabiduría de la filosofía estoica, una de las escuelas de pensamiento más populares y exitosas de la antigua Roma, y muestra cómo sus ideas y consejos aún pueden aplicarse hoy en día. Utilizando los conocimientos psicológicos y las técnicas prácticas de los estoicos, Irvine ofrece una hoja de ruta para quienes buscan evitar los sentimientos de insatisfacción crónica que nos aquejan. Los lectores aprenderán cómo minimizar sus preocupaciones, cómo dejar de lado el pasado y centrar sus esfuerzos en las cosas que podemos controlar, y cómo lidiar con los insultos, el dolor, la vejez y las tentaciones que distraen como la fama y la fortuna. Aprenderemos de Marco Aurelio la importancia de valorar solo cosas de verdadero valor, y de Epícteto a estar más contentos con lo que tenemos. Si nos observamos a nosotros mismos en nuestro trabajo diario y luego reflexionamos sobre lo que vivimos, podremos identificar mejor las fuentes de angustia y evitar el dolor. Solo así, pensaron los estoicos, podremos esperar alcanzar una vida verdaderamente feliz.

El gen egoísta book cover
El gen egoísta
40th Anniversary Edition (Oxford Landmark Science)
Richard Dawkins - 2006-01-01 (publicado por primera vez en 1976)
Calificación de Goodreads
"The Selfish Gene" caused a wave of excitement among biologists and the general public when it was first published in 1976. Its vivid rendering of a gene's eye view of life, in lucid prose, gathered together the strands of thought about the nature of natural selection into a conceptual framework with far-reaching implications for our understanding of evolution. Time has confirmed its significance. Intellectually rigorous, yet written in non-technical language, "The Selfish Gene" is widely regarded as a masterpiece of science writing, and its insights remain as relevant today as on the day it was published.
