Un video, un post, una foto, un meme, una frase, una canzone diventano tormentoni, improvvisamente prendono a circolare, colonizzando, grazie a computer, smartphone, tv, giornali, la nostra attenzione e la nostra mente. Perché certe idee circolano più di altre? Che cosa rende più o meno virale un'immagine o un prodotto culturale? Il libro aiuta a capire i meccanismi che presiedono alla riproduzione e alla trasmissione delle idee, assicurandone la propagazione e il successo o decretandone il fallimento.

Tecnologia e globalizzazione hanno paradossalmente creato solitudine, causata da un eccesso di stimoli, che inducono un'attività frenetica del cervello, levando spazio alla riflessione e alla libertà del pensiero, intasato dalle entrate sensoriali saturate dalle connessioni in rete e dalla televisione. È la solitudine di un cervello che in una stanza invia e riceve notizie solo attraverso messaggeri strumentali informatici, ma spesso ha perso il contatto affettivo con gli altri.

Baynard Woods thought he had escaped the backwards ways of the South Carolina he grew up in, a world defined by country music, NASCAR, and the confederacy. He’d fled the South long ago, transforming himself into a politically left-leaning writer and educator. Then he was accused of discriminating against a Black student at a local university. How could I be racist? he wondered. Whiteness was a problem, but it wasn’t really his problem. He taught at a majority Black school and wrote essays about education and Civil Rights.

As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, LA-based psychiatrist Mark McDonald grew increasingly concerned by the negative mental health effects he witnessed among his patients - and Americans nationwide. These negative effects - stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, domestic violence, suicidal ideation - were all directly traceable to the climate of fear being stoked by public health authorities and irresponsibly amplified by national media.

The traditional office was probably doomed anyway. Then a global shutdown changed everything we thought we knew about work, including where and when it needed to take place. Automation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution have accelerated, and perhaps as much as one third of the world’s permanent workforce will soon become remote. In The Nowhere Office, Julia Hobsbawm offers a strategic and practical guide to navigating this pivotal moment in the history of work and provides lessons for how both employees and employers can adapt.

Hace 3.000 años, en un campo de batalla de la antigua Palestina, un pastor derribó a un poderoso guerrero valiéndose únicamente de una piedra y una honda. Desde entonces los nombres de David y Goliat se han convertido en el símbolo de la lucha entre el desvalido y el gigante. La victoria de David fue inverosímil y milagrosa. No debería haber ganado. ¿O sí?

What does it mean to be lucky? How might we mitigate the effects of bad luck and maximise those of good? Is there actually such a thing as ‘luck’—some force that intervenes between desire and its consummation, that impedes or hastens it? To answer these questions, David Flusfeder sets out on a search for the definition of luck.

Shame is a powerful and sometimes useful tool. When we publicly shame corrupt politicians, abusive celebrities or predatory corporations, we reinforce values of fairness and justice. But as best-selling author Cathy O'Neil argues in this revelatory book, shaming has taken a new and dangerous turn. It is increasingly being weaponised - used as a way to shift responsibility for social problems from institutions to individuals. O'Neil explores the machinery behind all this shame, showing how governments, corporations and the healthcare system capitalise on it.

Ein so unterhaltsames wie streitbares Hörbuch über die Betrachtung der Dummheit. Was haben so unterschiedliche Dinge wie "alternative Fakten", menschenleere Begegnungszonen in Satellitensiedlungen und Schönheits-OPs als Schulabschluss-Geschenk gemeinsam? Heidi Kastner wagt sich an den aufgeladenen Begriff der Dummheit und betrachtet sowohl die sogenannte messbare Intelligenz (IQ) sowie die "heilige Einfalt" und die emotionale Intelligenz, deren Fehlen immensen Schaden anrichten kann.

The Trouble with Trauma is the story of how the idea of psychological trauma appeals to the human mind.

What happens to individuals when they become part of a crowd? How can it be explained that intelligent human beings commit unspeakable cruelties once they have become one with an anonymous mass of people?

Philosophy is the foundation of all of societies' thoughts, and notions of the famous thinkers percolate out to the masses. Most of philosophy has been detrimental to society because it is not thought through. War is stupid, regardless of how many great thinkers think it good. Poverty is a stupid scourge to our society, regardless of it being regarded as a necessary evil. This is a work of philosophy, but unlike historical philosophies, it does not give excuses for society as it is now, but gives plain and serious vision to how it can be.
