Kotler, not a religious man, suddenly found himself drawn to the sport of surfing as if it were the cornerstone of a new faith. Why, he wondered, when there was nothing left to believe in, could he begin to believe in something as unlikely as surfing? What was belief anyway? How did it work in the body, the brain, our culture, and human history? With the help of everyone from rebel surfers to rocket scientists, Kotler undertakes a three-year globetrotting quest. The results are a startling mix of big waves and bigger ideas: a surfer's journey into the biological underpinnings of belief itself. |

| abundância peter diamandis: The New Latin America Fernando Calderón, Manuel Castells, 2020-08-04 Latin America has experienced a profound transformation in the first two decades of the 21st century: it has been fully incorporated into the global economy, while excluding regions and populations devalued by the logic of capitalism. Technological modernization has gone hand-in-hand with the reshaping of old identities and the emergence of new ones. The transformation of Latin America has been shaped by social movements and political conflicts. The neoliberal model that dominated the first stage of the transformation induced widespread inequality and poverty, and triggered social explosions that led to its own collapse. A new model, neo-developmentalism, emerged from these crises as national populist movements were elected to government in several countries. The more the state intervened in the economy, the more it became vulnerable to corruption, until the rampant criminal economy came to penetrate state institutions. Upper middle classes defending their privileges and citizens indignant because of corruption of the political elites revolted against the new regimes, undermining the model of neo-developmentalism. In the midst of political disaffection and public despair, new social movements, women, youth, indigenous people, workers, peasants, opened up avenues of hope against the background of darkness invading the continent. This book, written by two leading scholars of Latin America, provides a comprehensive and up-do-date account of the new Latin America that is in the process of taking shape today. It will be an indispensable text for students and scholars in Latin American Studies, sociology, politics and media and communication studies, and anyone interested in Latin America today. |

| abundância peter diamandis: Abundancia Peter Diamandis, Steven Kotler, 2013-11-13 Desde los orígenes de la humanidad, unos pocos privilegiados han vivido en marcado contraste con la mayoría, muy pobre. La opinión más común es que la distancia que separa a unos de otros es imposible de superar. Sin embargo la distancia se está estrechando...y rápido. En Abundancia, el empresario del espacio convertido en pionero de la innovación, Peter H. Diamandis y el galardonado escritor de temas científicos Steven Kotler documentan cómo el progreso en inteligencia artificial, robótica, computación infinita, redes de banda ancha, manufactura digital, nanomateriales, biología sintética y muchas otras tecnologías que están creciendo exponencialmente nos permitirán obtener en las próximas dos décadas unos avances muy superiores a los que hemos conseguido en los doscientos años anteriores. Pronto tendremos la capacidad de alcanzar y superar las necesidades básicas de cada hombre, mujer y niño del planeta. La abundancia para todos está a nuestro alcance. En este apasionante antídoto contra el pesimismo imperante, los autores exploran cómo cuatro fuerzas emergentes -las tecnologías exponenciales, el innovador hazlo tú mismo, los tecnofilántropos y los mil millones emergentes- están conspirando para resolver nuestros mayores problemas. |
| abundância peter diamandis: That Hair Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, 2020-03-17 Finalist for the 2021 PEN Translation Prize A Best Translation of the Year at World Literature Today That Hair is a family album of sorts that touches upon the universal subjects of racism, feminism, colonialism, immigration, identity and memory. “The story of my curly hair,” says Mila, the narrator of Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida’s autobiographically inspired tragicomedy, “intersects with the story of at least two countries and, by extension, the underlying story of the relations among several continents: a geopolitics.” Mila is the Luanda-born daughter of a black Angolan mother and a white Portuguese father. She arrives in Lisbon at the tender age of three, and feels like an outsider from the jump. Through the lens of young Mila’s indomitably curly hair, her story interweaves memories of childhood and adolescence, family lore spanning four generations, and present-day reflections on the internal and external tensions of a European and African identity. In layered and luscious prose, That Hair enriches and deepens a global conversation, challenging in necessary ways our understanding of racism, feminism, and the double inheritance of colonialism, not yet fifty years removed from Angola’s independence. It’s the story of coming of age as a black woman in a nation at the edge of Europe that is also rapidly changing, of being considered an outsider in one’s own country, and the impossibility of “returning” to a homeland one doesn’t in fact know. |

To some, it might mean life satisfaction, to others, a fleeting moment of joy. Rather than seeking to be happy, Oliver James encourages us to cultivate our emotional health.

Helping us to understand the impact our emotional baggage has on our daily interactions, he reveals how to overcome unhelpful patterns and become more self-aware - revitalizing our approach to life.

But in fact, life is getting better—and at an accelerating rate. Food availability, income, and life span are up; disease, child mortality, and violence are down all across the globe.

He explains why. An astute, refreshing, and revelatory work that covers the entire sweep of human history—from the Stone Age to the Internet—The Rational Optimist will change your way of thinking about the world for the better. |

| abundância peter diamandis: Startupland Mikkel Svane, 2014-12-08 The real story of what it takes to risk it all and go for broke. Conventional wisdom says most startups need to be in Silicon Valley, started by young engineers around a sexy new idea, and backed by VC funding. But as Mikkel Svane reveals in Startupland, the story of founding Zendesk was anything but conventional. Founded in a Copenhagen loft by three thirty-something friends looking to break free from corporate doldrums, Zendesk Inc. is now one of the hottest enterprise software companies, still rapidly growing with customers in 150 countries. But its success was anything but predestined. With revealing stories both funny and frank, Mikkel shares how he and his friends bravely left secure jobs to start something on their own, how he almost went broke several times, how they picked up themselves and their families to travel across the world to California and the unknown, and how the three friends were miraculously still together for Zendesk's IPO and (still growing) success. Much like Zendesk's mission itself—to remove friction, barriers, and mystery in order to make customer service easier and more approachable—Startupland removes some of the myths about startups and startup founders. Mikkel's advice, hard-won through experience, often bucks conventional wisdom and entrepreneurial tropes. He shares why failure (whether fast or slow) is awful, why a seemingly boring product or idea can be the most exciting, why giving back to the community is as important as the bottom line. From how to hire right (look for people who are not offended by swearing) to which personas generate the highest response rates, Mikkel answers the most pressing questions from the perspective of someone still in the trenches and willing to share the hard truth, warts and all. While there are books by consultants who tell you how to build businesses, or by entrepreneurs now running billion-dollar businesses, there are few books from people still in the trenches who acutely remember the difficult daily decisions, the thrill (and fears) of the early days, the problems that scale with growing a business, and the reason why they all went on the adventure in the first place. Startupland is indispensable reading for all entrepreneurs who want to make their ideas the next big thing. The book will inspire and empower you to follow your own dream and create your own story. |

| abundância peter diamandis: Beyond the Green Economy Ricardo Abramovay, 2015-09-07 The world needs a new economy. In spite of tremendous and growing material prosperity, inequality is on the rise and the current organization of the Earth’s natural resources has failed to address the basic human needs of billions of people. This book exposes the bottlenecks of the present path of economic growth and discusses the main path to alternatives. In spite of undeniable advances, all evidence points towards the growing depletion of the very ecosystems that societies depend on. By placing ethics squarely in the middle of economic life, this book demonstrates the need for a new economy, one that fosters unity between society, nature, economics and ethics. It questions the most important scientific and political pillar that forms the basis for evaluating social resource use: economic growth. Written in a non-specialist language, this book is an introduction to the main issues involving sustainable development. It will be essential reading for both students and professionals working in the field of socio-environmental responsibility. |

The historic race that reawakened the promise of manned spaceflight A Finalist for the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award Alone in a Spartan black cockpit, test pilot Mike Melvill rocketed toward space. He had eighty seconds to exceed the speed of sound and begin the climb to a target no civilian pilot had ever reached. He might not make it back alive. If he did, he would make history as the world’s first commercial astronaut. The spectacle defied reason, the result of a competition dreamed up by entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, whose vision for a new race to space required small teams to do what only the world’s largest governments had done before. Peter Diamandis was the son of hardworking immigrants who wanted their science prodigy to make the family proud and become a doctor. But from the age of eight, when he watched Apollo 11 land on the Moon, his singular goal was to get to space. When he realized NASA was winding down manned space flight, Diamandis set out on one of the great entrepreneurial adventure stories of our time. If the government wouldn’t send him to space, he would create a private space flight industry himself. In the 1990s, this idea was the stuff of science fiction. Undaunted, Diamandis found inspiration in an unlikely place: the golden age of aviation. He discovered that Charles Lindbergh made his transatlantic flight to win a $25,000 prize. The flight made Lindbergh the most famous man on earth and galvanized the airline industry. Why, Diamandis thought, couldn’t the same be done for space flight? The story of the bullet-shaped SpaceShipOne, and the other teams in the hunt, is an extraordinary tale of making the impossible possible. It is driven by outsized characters—Burt Rutan, Richard Branson, John Carmack, Paul Allen—and obsessive pursuits. In the end, as Diamandis dreamed, the result wasn’t just a victory for one team; it was the foundation for a new industry and a new age. |

| abundância peter diamandis: Here be Dragons Olle Häggström, 2016 There is a widely held conception that progress in science and technology is our salvation, and the more of it, the better. This, however, is an oversimplified and even dangerous attitude. While the future will certainly offer huge changes due to such progress, it is far from certain that all of these changes will be for the better. The unprecedented rate of technological development that the 20th century witnessed has made our lives today vastly different from those in 1900. No slowdown is in sight, and the 21st century will most likely see even more revolutionary changes than the 20th, due to advances in science, technology and medicine. Particular areas where extraordinary and perhaps disruptive advances can be expected include biotechnology, nanotechnology, and machine intelligence. We may also look forward various ways to enhance human cognitive and other abilities using, e.g., pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering or machine-brain interfaces - perhaps to the extent of changing human nature beyond what we currently think of as human, and into a posthuman era. The potential benefits of all these technologies are enormous, but so are the risks, including the possibility of human extinction. This book is a passionate plea for doing our best to map the territories ahead of us, and for acting with foresight, so as to maximize our chances of reaping the benefits of the new technologies while avoiding the dangers. |

What role should educators play in a world where young people find themselves faced with deep uncertainty about their future, where the prospects of securing a stable, long-term career seem increasingly remote and where intensified population movements have created more diverse communities in which different cultures find themselves living side by side, no longer bound together by the belief that the other would eventually be assimilated into ‘our' culture? Faced with the bewildering features of our liquid modern world, many young people are inclined to withdraw - in some cases into the online world of games and virtual relationships, in other cases into anorexia, depression, alcohol or even drug abuse, hoping to find shelter from a world perceived as more and more dangerous. Others launch into more violent forms of behaviour, like street gangs and the looting carried out by young people who have been excluded from the temples of consumption but are eager to participate in the ceremony. And all this happens while our politicians look on, uncomprehending and indifferent. In this short book Zygmunt Bauman - the leading social theorist of our liquid modern world, here in conversation with Riccardo Mazzeo - reflects on the predicament of young people today and on the role of education and the educator in a world where the certainties of our predecessors can no longer be taken for granted. |

There are countless courses and books available on leadership technique, decision-making and public speaking, but How to Be a Leader aims to give you the tools to understand and bring out your own leadership style. With an in-depth look at what it really means to lead, and the difference between being a manager and being a leader, How to Be a Leader invites you to explore - and accept - the unique leader in you. |

It has led nothing short of a revolution in the entertainment industries, generating billions of dollars in annual revenue while capturing the imaginations of hundreds of millions of people in over 190 countries. But to reach these great heights, Netflix, which launched in 1998 as an online DVD rental service, has had to reinvent itself over and over again. This type of unprecedented flexibility would have been impossible without the counterintuitive and radical management principles that cofounder Reed Hastings established from the very beginning. Hastings rejected the conventional wisdom under which other companies operate and defied tradition to instead build a culture focused on freedom and responsibility, one that has allowed Netflix to adapt and innovate as the needs of its members and the world have simultaneously transformed. Hastings set new standards, valuing people over process, emphasizing innovation over efficiency, and giving employees context, not controls. At Netflix, there are no vacation or expense policies. At Netflix, adequate performance gets a generous severance, and hard work is irrelevant. At Netflix, you don’t try to please your boss, you give candid feedback instead. At Netflix, employees don’t need approval, and the company pays top of market. When Hastings and his team first devised these unorthodox principles, the implications were unknown and untested. But in just a short period, their methods led to unparalleled speed and boldness, as Netflix quickly became one of the most loved brands in the world. Here for the first time, Hastings and Erin Meyer, bestselling author of The Culture Map and one of the world’s most influential business thinkers, dive deep into the controversial ideologies at the heart of the Netflix psyche, which have generated results that are the envy of the business world. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with current and past Netflix employees from around the globe and never-before-told stories of trial and error from Hastings’s own career, No Rules Rules is the fascinating and untold account of the philosophy behind one of the world’s most innovative, imaginative, and successful companies. |
| abundância peter diamandis: O Jogo de Dinheiro Anthony Robbins, 2016-11-01 Tony Robbins durante anos foi empregado de limpeza. Hoje é multimilionário. E sabe muito bem o que significa ter (ou não ter) dinheiro. Dinheiro é poder. E não estamos a falar do poder de esmagar os inimigos ou de sermos melhores do que os outros. Não. Falamos antes daquilo que o dinheiro nos dá: a liberdade de escolher, a segurança de não pensar no dia seguinte; a felicidade de nos sentirmos vivos. E, claro, o poder de ajudar aqueles que mais amamos. É isso o dinheiro. E fazê-lo crescer é apenas um jogo, como afirmam 50 dos mais bem-sucedidos investidores do mundo, entrevistados de propósito para este livro. No sentido oposto, há milhões de pessoas que nunca aprenderam a “jogar”. Não têm casa, salário, ocupação ou dignidade. E Tony, que viveu anos no limiar da pobreza, quer que todos os seus leitores sejam tão ricos como ele. Daí a sua promessa, o seu manifesto:“O meu compromisso consigo e o seguinte: se me acompanhar e seguir os 7 passos simples deste livro – os passos que foram compilados junto dos jogadores financeiros de maior sucesso – vai ganhar este jogo e a sua família também.”Está preparado? É só abrir o livro. |
| abundância peter diamandis: A Era do Impacto James Marins, 2019-12-24 Em um tempo de ameaças, terrorismo, corrupção, desemprego, fome, câncer, depressão, em que somos constantemente bombardeados por notícias catastróficas, gerando o instinto de negatividade a que se refere Hans Rosling, a pergunta que nos rodeia é: quem se importa?A partir de uma narrativa ao mesmo tempo leve e impressionantemente profunda, James Marins se propõe a combater a apatia e a ignorância e nos levar a entender a potencialidade da era em que vivemos. Afinal, jamais nossa capacidade de opinião, ação, participação e colaboração em escala para mudanças sistêmicas foi tão grande.Para compreender nossas possibilidades, não podemos nos limitar à estreita visão de nosso horizonte pessoal. Precisamos de uma análise mais abrangente, complexa e sistêmica. Para tanto, Marins parte de três dimensões fundamentais da complexa riqueza de nossa condição humana contemporânea: o Movimento Transformador da Liberdade, o Movimento Transformador da Economia e o Movimento Transformador da Consciência. Todos esses movimentos estão interligados, de modo a constituir o Movimento Transformador Massivo, pano de fundo em que o autor tece toda a obra.As ferramentas para a ação e para a atualização de nós mesmos estão à disposição de todos aqueles que se importam, nesta que é a melhor época da humanidade, a nossa melhor oportunidade. A Era do Impacto. |

Como muitos outros, sinto que aprendi mais nos últimos anos estudando Bitcoin do que durante duas décadas de educação formal. As lições a seguir são uma destilação do que aprendi. Publicadas pela primeira vez como uma série de artigos intitulada What I've Learned From Bitcoin , o que segue pode ser visto como uma segunda edição da série original. Como o Bitcoin, essas lições não são uma coisa estática. Planejo trabalhar nelas periodicamente, lançando versões atualizadas e material adicional no futuro. O Bitcoin é um professor inesgotável, e é por isso que não afirmo que estas lições sejam abrangentes ou completas. Elas são um reflexo da minha jornada pessoal pela toca do coelho. Há muitas mais lições a serem aprendidas, e cada pessoa aprenderá algo diferente ao entrar no mundo do Bitcoin. Espero que você ache essas lições úteis e que o processo de aprendê-las por meio da leitura não seja tão árduo e doloroso quanto aprendê-las em primeira mão. |
| abundância peter diamandis: Our Posthuman Future Francis Fukuyama, 2017-06-15 Is a baby whose personality has been chosen from a gene supermarket still a human? If we choose what we create what happens to morality? Is this the end of human nature? The dramatic advances in DNA technology over the last few years are the stuff of science fiction. It is now not only possible to clone human beings it is happening. For the first time since the creation of the earth four billion years ago, or the emergence of mankind 10 million years ago, people will be able to choose their children's' sex, height, colour, personality traits and intelligence. It will even be possible to create 'superhumans' by mixing human genes with those of other animals for extra strength or longevity. But is this desirable? What are the moral and political consequences? Will it mean anything to talk about 'human nature' any more? Is this the end of human beings? Our Posthuman Future is a passionate analysis of the greatest political and moral problem ever to face the human race. |
