Una famiglia allargata e privilegiata, la familia grande, in cui regna una libertà assoluta, fieri di appartenere a una generazione di intellettuali prima rivoluzionari e poi borghesi. È in questa famiglia atipica, che mescola gioie e sofferenze, vacanze al mare e indicibili segreti, che crescono Camille e il fratello gemello Victor.

"Du bist so emotional", klingt nicht nach einem Kompliment, schon gar nicht in der Arbeitswelt. Im Job zeigt man keine Gefühle, stören sie doch das Arbeitsklima. Auf einen cholerischen Chef oder die weinende Kollegin verzichtet man gerne. Doch diese Sichtweise wird den Emotionen und ihrem positiven Einfluss nicht gerecht. Und überhaupt: Emotionen werden viel zu stark unterschätzt. Sie sind wichtig, will man Entscheidungen treffen oder kreativ zu sein. Auch um empathisch zu sein und wenn man sich mit seiner ganzen Persönlichkeit im Job einbringen will, geht das nicht ohne Gefühle.

SIGMUND FREUD (1856-1939) es conocido por ser el fundador del psicoanálisis, una teoría sobre cómo funciona la mente y un método para ayudar a las personas a resolver sus problemas mentales. Desarrolló una nueva visión de la existencia humana que socavó los valores culturales de su época, por lo que en un inicio despertó una gran hostilidad. Pero a medida que el psicoanálisis se difundió, Freud consiguió seguidores en todo el mundo.

Até hoje alvo de diversas críticas e controvérsias, acusado de charlatanismo, ocultista e até antissemita, Carl Gustav Jung é um dos maiores contribuintes para a psicologia como a conhecemos atualmente. O suíço, que chegou a nutrir uma íntima amizade com Freud, formulou conceitos amplamente utilizados até hoje, como os arquétipos e o processo de individuação. Além disso, contribuiu para o entendimento dos tipos de personalidades e métodos de interpretação de sonhos como um caminho para entender os níveis mais profundos da psique.

È possibile ricostruire il pensiero di un personaggio poliedrico e camaleontico come Umberto Eco? Stefano Traini, uno dei suoi allievi che oggi insegna Semiotica, ci prova in questo libro: parte dalla tesi di laurea di Eco sul pensiero estetico in Tommaso d’Aquino, prosegue con i suoi studi sulle avanguardie e sulla cultura di massa con i quali si è affermato negli anni sessanta e arriva alla teoria semiotica nella quale Eco affronta con metodo scientifico lo studio dei segni, dei codici, dell’interpretazione.

Por trás de todos os tormentos humanos, existe uma relação conflituosa com o aspecto sexual. Esta é uma das crenças de Sigmund Freud, o pai da psicanálise e um dos teóricos mais influentes do século XX. O médico alemão revolucionou o tratamento para as neuroses e deu início ao mais importante aspecto da psicologia: a escuta. Sem isso, a prática clínica— como conhecemos hoje — seria inviável, e Freud teria sido incapaz de teorizar sobre o inconsciente, a sexualidade e os sonhos.

James Deary, a NYC healthcare organization cofounder and behavioral scientist, never wanted to be a psychic medium. This ability more or less “happened” to him. His first near-death experience occurred when he was two years old. At age eight, he saw his first apparition. Soon thereafter, psychic experiences became commonplace. Looking back, he was always a clairvoyant who could see Spirit, but the sensing, knowing, and hearing Spirit developed over many years.

We see it every day. Sometimes we offer the change in our pocket. Sometimes we simply look away and go about our day. But the issues remain the same.
