- Beware of the “Lessons” you already learnedPublication . Sousa, Ivo Dias deWe live in a society of knowledge. Knowledge is the fundamental key to hold the power of the things that surround us. Without knowledge, we are not able to access many activities that we take for granted, such as driving a car or communicating through a smartphone. Knowledge is everywhere. It is inside us and it regulates, partially, what we do and don’t do. But not all knowledge we have is true and useful. Some of that knowledge are “lessons” that aren’t in our best interest. We, as individuals or society, sometimes learn“lessons” that aren’t good for us.
- Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor E. FranklPublication . Sousa, Ivo Dias de“Man’s Search For Meaning” is one the best book I have read about searching for meaning in life. In the preface of the edition I read is said that this books is one of the best of our era and honestly I have no doubt that the book will be read centuries from now. The book was first published after Word War II and has been re-edited countless times in many languages – so far it has sold more than 12 millions copies. Viktor E. Frankl (1905-1997) was a psychiatrist and professor at the University of Vienna until his death in 1997. He founded the third Viennese School of Psychotherapy who is an internationally acknowledged and empirically based meaning-centered approach to psychotherapy, based in the concept of logotherapy. The other two schools were founded by Sigmund Freud (with main focus on pleasure) and Alfred Adler (with main focus around power).

- Using myths to find your way : pathways to bliss book by Joseph CampbellPublication . Sousa, Ivo Dias de“Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation” by Joseph Campbell is a book like no other I have read – a sort of mythological self-help book. On one hand, the main message is quite common: find your passion, follow it with responsibility and persistence. On other hand, the main message is quite uncommon: it advices the reader to use myths to find and follow his bliss. By other words, the book explains how world mythology can help our personal growth and transformation. Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) was an author and professor known for his work in comparative mythology. Campbell studied medieval literature at Columbia University. After the Columbia University, he travelled to Europe, to attend universities in Paris and Munich. His work is influenced by writers like James Joyce and Thomas Mann, artists like Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, and psychiatrists like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Joseph Campbell formulated the theory that “all myths and epics are linked in the human psyche, and that they are cultural manifestations of the universal need to explain social, cosmological, and spiritual realities”.
- Four ways of listeningPublication . Sousa, Ivo Dias deThe four ways of hearing can be useful for us depending on the situations serving different purposes. However, I (and probably most of the readers) don’t experience very often hearing with an open heart or open will. Probably I should, and the readers too, have more opportunities of training a better hearing. Not only we would feel more connect with the world around us, but also happier.
- Do disrupt: change the status quo : or become it, a book by Mark ShaylerPublication . Sousa, Ivo Dias de“Do Disrupt” is a cute and small self-help book. Most of its ideas aren´t exactly new – the reader probably as heard most of them. However, my guess is that readers would gain from hearing those ideas once more. Plus, the author makes a god job in presenting those ideas in a fresh and beautiful way. Mark Shayler is an environmental consultant. His main focus is to help develop ideas and implement them. So far this his first book.

- Smartcuts: how hackers, innovators, and icons accelerate success by Shane SnowPublication . Sousa, Ivo Dias deI think “Smartcuts” is one of the best 2014 books about success. It is a well-written and thought provoking book that makes you think about success in new ways. If you are stuck in your professional life or other areas of your life, this book can give you excellent advice. The book develops its argument based on scientific studies and a plethora of stories of success (like Jimmy Fallon´s and Skrilex´s). The book was written by Shane Snow who is a fantastic storyteller. He started is career as a journalist and entrepreneur and had his work published in magazines like “Wired”, “The New Yorker” and “Fast Company”. He co-founded Contently, a website that helps freelance journalists and story tellers to connect with brands in need of content. He works there as Chief Creative Officer, besides writing books and giving talks regularly on storytelling. The following talk, given by Snow to TeDx Columbia, was inspired by the beautiful Native American Proverb: “Those who tell the stories, rule the world.”
- Your best friend should be …you!Publication . Sousa, Ivo Dias deThere is a person that is always with the reader: yourself. But sometimes we just forget this indisputable truth. I think the reader would agree if I say that we should treat well people around us. But many times we forget to treat well one key person: ourselves. We should make an effort to treat ourselves well. Other people in our life come and go. Some we like and other we dislike – many have little importance for us. But they have one thing in common: sooner or later they will leave. Sometimes because they want and other times because they must (one possible reason is their death).
