How to Innovate is an engaging introduction to key ideas about - and examples of - innovation and creative thinking from ancient Greece. Armand D'Angour provides lively new translations of selections from Aristotle, Diodorus, and Athenaeus.

Para que se possa ter coragem, sabedoria e disciplina, é necessário começar pela justiça.

Our state of emotional health can be affected by the simplest things in our lives. This can then lead to a downward spiral of negatives thoughts about ourselves and our relationships with others.

What if true strength had nothing to do with power—and everything to do with patience? In a world that moves faster each day, where anger spreads easily and silence feels rare, the ancient Japanese virtue of Gaman (我慢) offers a timeless antidote. Gaman is the art of enduring hardship with dignity—of meeting life’s challenges with calm courage and quiet grace. It is not about suppressing pain, but transforming it into strength. It is how one remains steady when everything around them begins to shake.

We live in a world drenched in shame. Shame is the core belief not that I did something wrong, but that I am wrong. It severs us from the inherent goodness of our desire, our body, our Eros. This split disconnects us from the beauty of our Unique Selves and fuels many of today's personal and cultural pathologies. Wilhelm Reich called it "the murder of Eros"-and it is not metaphorical, but civilizational.
