DISCLAIMER This book does not in any capacity mean to replace the original book but to serve as a vast summary of the original book. Summary of Outlive by Peter Attia MD : The Science and Art of Longevity IN THIS SUMMARIZED BOOK, YOU WILL GET: Chapter astute outline of the main contents. Fast & simple understanding of the content analysis. Exceptionally summarized content that you may skip in the original book Dr. Peter Attia's Outlive is a groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health. It provides innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health. Dr. Attia believes we must replace the outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting. He explains why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn't tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack, why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity "drug," and why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.

Purement révolutionnaire : après quinze années de recherches, le Dr Melvin Morse, médecin urgentiste et pédiatre, affirme que 1) nous disposons tous dans notre lobe temporal droit d'un circuit biologique spécialement conçu pour dialoguer avec Dieu et que 2) les souvenirs de notre vie ne se trouvent pas dans notre cerveau! S'appuyant sur les dernières découvertes médicales et scientifiques, son livre explique pour la première fois avec une logique implacable l'ensemble des phénomènes surnaturels et mystiques, tout comme les vies passées, les sensations de déjà vu, l'intuition, les guérisons spontanées et surtout le don de ''voir'' des parcelles de l'avenir. De façon simple et claire, le Dr Morse donne des cas précis et raconte comment il est parvenu à ses conclusions après avoir travaillé sur les expériences aux frontières de la mort infantiles. Salué par la presse anglo-saxonne comme une avancée majeure pour le XXIe siècle, ce livre ouvre des portes insoupçonnées et donne une dimension, nouvelle, phénoménale à la spiritualité. Des pilotes de chasse aux épileptiques, des neurologues aux physiciens et des médecins aux magnétiseurs, sa thèse prend vie et s'impose comme une évidence. Ce livre monumental peut changer votre vie.

A classic encyclopedia of symbols by Catalan polymath Joan Cirlot that illuminates the symbolic underpinnings of myth, modern psychology, literature, and art. Juan Eduardo Cirlot’s A   Dictionary of Symbols is a feat of scholarship, an act of the imagination, and a tool for contemplation, as well as a work of literature, a reference book that is as indispensable as it is brilliant and learned. Cirlot was a composer, a poet, an art critic, and a champion of modern art whose interest in surrealism helped to bring him to the study of symbolism. Carl Jung, Mircea Eliade, René Guénon, Erich Fromm, and Gaston Bachelard also helped to shape his thinking in a book that explores the space between the world at large and the world within, where, as Cirlot sees it, nothing is meaningless, everything is significant, and everything is in some way related to something else. Running from “abandonment” to “zone” by way of “flute” and “whip,” spanning the cultures of the world, and including a wealth of visual images to further bring the reality of the symbol home, A Dictionary of Symbols , here published for the first time in English in its original, significantly enlarged form, is a luminous and illuminating investigation of the works of eternity in time.

Seller: GRIN Verlag GmbH

Desde su publicación en 1967, Cien años de soledad ha captado un gran público y gran crítica. Se ha reconocido como una obra maestra y al mismo tiempo como uno de esos raros logros del arte capaz de atraer a muchos y muy diversos lectores. Es una novela que puede ser leída a varios niveles de comprensión. En su nivel más accesible, la novela cuenta la historia y aventura de la familia Buendía desde antes de la fundación de Macondo hasta su destrucción. Esta narración que capta la esencia de un pueblo latinoamericano – su historia, cultura y espíritu – también expresa los temas universales más importantes de la vida contemporánea: la dimensión del tiempo, la alienación y la soledad. García Márquez no utiliza, sin embargo, las técnicas que la novela moderna ha desarrollado para tratar estos temas, como por ejemplo, el monólogo interior. Liberado de la necesidad de hacer enteramente creíble su narración, el autor ha redescubierto el poder narrativo de las tradiciones literarias más antiguas – la fantasía, las aventuras episódicas y la narración omnisciente. Dentro de esta narración encontramos algunas técnicas que enriquecen el texto y que animan al lector de seguir leyendo. En el presente trabajo voy a tratar estas técnicas entre las que están el uso de la ironía y lo fantástico así como algunas figuras retóricas, entre las que destacan especialmente la metáfora y la hipérbole y las cuales le dan a lo narrado un toque ficcional que borra la frontera entre la realidad y la ficción. Pero también nos ocuparemos de la frontera entre la retórica y la poesía y en qué grado existe ésta.
