There’s a lot of noise out there about how to spend (and not spend) your hard-earned money. But what if you made financial decisions based on what you value—instead of what others are telling you to value? This is the empowering approach Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, hosts of the Frugal Friends podcast, want you to take to improve your spending habits. They believe you can value anything (yes, anything!), whether that’s a daily latte, fancy dinners out, or vacations. But, despite what social media is saying, you don’t value everything.

Ed Friedman invites leaders “to cast a courageous and imaginative vision, to lead resiliently, and to be present and steady in times of deep anxiety.” Ed Friedman’s genius was to see the individual in the family in the larger group, bringing the wisdom of his experience as a therapist and rabbi to the field of organizational leadership. A timeless bestseller, A Failure of Nerve still astonishes in this new edition with its relevance and continues to transform the lives of leaders everywhere.

Law schools used to teach students how to think critically, advance logical arguments, and respect opponents. Now, those students cannot tolerate disagreement and reject the validity of the law itself. And yet, rioting Ivy Leaguers are the same people who will hold important government positions, fight constitutional lawsuits, and advise Fortune 500 companies. In Lawless, Ilya Shapiro explains how we got here and what we can do about it. The problem is bigger than radical students and biased faculty—it’s institutional weakness.

O período da infância e adolescência são cenário de elementos, afetos e transformações que definem e influenciam a formação da subjetividade deste ser em elaboração. Para além disso, há todo o processo de socialização e educação que também exercerá pressão sobre gostos, inclinações, expectativas - seja daqueles ao redor sobre a criança ou adolescente, seja dele sobre si mesmo.

O termo tekoá se refere, num primeiro momento, a uma aldeia do povo tupi-guarani, mas, para além disso, diz respeito sobretudo ao modo de existir. A ideia se expande para além do território em direção ao que se convencionou chamar de ética na tradição do pensamento ocidental. O curso apresenta as ideias e propostas dessa tradição a respeito da relação humana com a natureza e com si mesma, sobretudo nas dinâmicas de diferenças, de poder, da vida em comum e da memória como catalisadora de conhecimento.

O que define nossa concepção atual a respeito de um funcionamento mental desejável e socialmente aceitável? A que chamamos de "normal" (e será "normal" uma existência sem nenhuma "loucura")? O que é um "transtorno mental" (mental disorder)? O curso faz um diálogo entre psiquiatria, psicanálise e história da cultura para traçar um histórico dessa relação entre "loucura" e "normalidade", por vezes difusa e contraditória. Entre a idealização romântica e um certo higienismo médico...

Vivemos tempos de excessos. Excesso de informação, de mensagens, de canais de comunicação. Ao mesmo tempo que parece que nos comunicamos muito, não temos tempo para escutar, ler atentamente, perguntar. E isso tem um grande impacto para as relações no trabalho, desde o exercício da liderança até mesmo uma cultura de inovação e colaboração.

Identidade e subjetividade são conceitos amplos, com implicações ainda mais extensas sobre a vida concreta - sobretudo num momento em que tais conceitos são questionados ou reelaborados sob lentes políticas e ideológicas. O curso parte destas ideias para tratar, com base na teoria psicanalítica, como se dá essa elaboração de uma "narrativa de si" e como ela afeta, para bem e mal, nossas relações com o mundo e os outros. O que é o desejo e como ele se constitui? De que formas esse eu se fortalece ou enfraquece? Essas e outras provocações serão abordadas ao longo deste curso.

Ainda hoje as ideias budistas são vistas com um olhar que varia entre a curiosidade e o espanto. De fato, as propostas e práticas que para nós oscilam entre a filosofia e a religião operam uma espécie de "conciliação" entre fé e razão na realidade ocidental. Sem considerar as influências das relações intelectuais com a linguagem, a lógica e outros ramos do
