Socrate Express

release date: Jan 11, 2023
Socrate Express
ll treno e la filosofia formano una bella coppia. I treni ci portano dove vogliamo, e lo fanno alla velocità del pensiero. Eppure treni e filosofia hanno un vago sentore di muffa: oggi, potendo scegliere, sono pochi a prendere il treno, e nessun genitore fa studiare filosofia ai figli, se può evitarlo; la filosofia, come i viaggi in treno, è qualcosa che la gente faceva prima di conoscere altro. Ma treni e filosofia ci offrono qualcosa di molto prezioso: la possibilità di vedere il mondo da una prospettiva diversa, di scoprire bellezze nascoste, di trovare nuovi modi per stare bene. Eric Weiner combina le sue due grandi passioni, la filosofia e il viaggio, in un giro intorno al mondo che è insieme reale – con fermate ad Atene, Parigi, Francoforte, Delhi, Kyoto, nel Wyoming, a Coney Island, solo per dirne alcune – e intellettuale. Sceglie infatti quattordici filosofi, tutti saggi ma in modi diversi, tutti filosofi pratici, interessati non al significato della vita ma a come vivere una vita piena di significato, e da ognuno di loro trae una lezione di vita utile a navigare questi tempi turbolenti.

La geografía de los genios

release date: Sep 13, 2022
La geografía de los genios
Una lectura apasionante en la que Eric Weiner nos invita a viajar por el mundo y a través del tiempo para demostrarnos cómo el genio creativo florece en lugares y en momentos específicos Weiner examina la conexión entre lo que nos rodea y nuestras ideas más innovadoras. Explora la Viena de 1900, la Florencia del Renacimiento, la antigua Atenas, la Hangzhou de la dinastía Song y Silicon Valley para mostrar cómo ciertos escenarios urbanos propician el ingenio. Con el perspicaz humor que lo caracteriza, Weiner visita los escenarios que inspiraron a figuras como Sócrates, Miguel Ángel o Leonardo y se pregunta: «¿Qué había en el aire? ¿Podemos embotellarlo?».Esta conexión se puede trazar a lo largo de la historia: la teoría de la evolución de Darwin se consolidó mientras iba en carruaje, Freud desarrolló sus mejores teorías en su cafetería favorita y Beethoven, como muchos genios, prefería dar largos paseos por el bosque.Una lectura aguda y provocativa, La geografía de los genios redefine el debate sobre cómo los genios llegaron a serlo. Un análisis sobre cómo la cultura es esencial para potenciar la creatividad.

El expreso de Sócrates

release date: Sep 29, 2021
El expreso de Sócrates
Acudimos a la filosofía por las mismas razones por las que viajamos: para ver el mundo desde una perspectiva diferente, para desenterrar la belleza oculta y para encontrar nuevas formas de ser. Queremos abrazar las maravillas del mundo, enfrentar la desdicha y mantener la esperanza. Eric Weiner combina sus pasiones por la filosofía y por los viajes en una peregrinación que descubre las lecciones de vida más sorprendentes de los grandes pensadores de todo el mundo, desde Rousseau a Nietzsche o de Confucio a Simone Weil. Viajando en tren (el medio de transporte más reflexivo), recorre miles de kilómetros, hace paradas en Atenas, Delhi, Wyoming, Coney Island, Frankfurt y puntos intermedios para reconectarse con el propósito original de la filosofía: enseñarnos a emprender vidas más sabias y significativas. Desde Sócrates y la antigua Atenas hasta Simone de Beauvoir y el París del siglo XX, los filósofos y lugares elegidos por Weiner proporcionan señales importantes a medida que navegamos en los caóticos tiempos de hoy. En El expreso de Sócrates, Weiner nos invita a viajar junto a él en su búsqueda de sabiduría y descubrimiento que nos cambiará la vida al tiempo que intenta encontrar respuestas a nuestras preguntas más vitales.

The Socrates Express

release date: Aug 10, 2021
The Socrates Express
The author retraces the journeys of forefront intellectuals from Epicurus and Gandhi to Thoreau and Beauvoir to illuminate how their practical and spiritual lessons can be applied in today''s unsettled world. Eric Weiner combines his twin passions for philosophy and global travel in a pilgrimage that uncovers surprising life lessons from philosophers around the world, from Marcus Aurelius to Arthur Schopenhauer, Confucius to Montaigne. Traveling by train (the most thoughtful mode of transport) he traversed thousands of miles, making stops in Athens, Delhi, Massachusetts, Coney Island, Frankfurt, and points in between, to recapture philosophy''s original purpose: teaching us how to lead wiser, more meaningful lives. From Socrates and ancient Athens to Simone de Beauvoir and twentieth century Paris, Weiner''s chosen places and thinkers provide important signposts as we navigate today''s chaotic times.

A zsenialitás földrajza

release date: Apr 08, 2019
A zsenialitás földrajza
Miért növekszik robbanásszerűen a kreativitás egyes helyeken? Miért képesek a géniuszok olyan jól boldogulni rendetlenség és káosz közepette is? Tényleg séta közben jutnak eszünkbe a legjobb gondolatok? Vajon mi köze van az osztrigáknak a skót felvilágosodáshoz, és a reneszánsznak a pestisjárványhoz? Eric Weiner azokat a helyeket – például az ókori Athént, a Szung-dinasztia korabeli Kínát, a középkori Firenzét vagy napjaink Szilícium-völgyét – látogatja meg és mutatja be fesztelen és bölcs humorral, ahol a korabeli férfiak és nők virágzó civilizációt teremtettek. Föld körüli utazása során arra keresi a választ, miként indult virágzásnak a kreatív zsenialitás az adott helyen és korban, és vajon hogyan kamatoztathatnánk a tanulságokat a jelenben. A zsenialitás földrajza provokatív és szórakoztató könyv, olyan szellemi kalandozás, amely megváltoztatja az alkotó zsenialitásra vonatkozó felfogásunkat, és elősegítheti a kreativitás kultúrájának kialakítását. A kreatív zsenialitás ugyanis nem magán-, hanem közügy; sőt nem egyszerűen genetikai kérdés, és még csak nem is a kemény munkához van köze, sokkal inkább egy olyan kultúra gyümölcseként kell értelmeznünk, amely ösztönzi az eredeti gondolkodást. Eric Weiner filozófus utazó, gyógyulófélben lévő elégedetlen, A boldog zarándok – Egy mogorva alak elindul, hogy felfedezze a világ legboldogabb helyeit című bestseller szerzője. Korábban az amerikai közszolgálati rádió, az NPR külföldi tudósítójaként dolgozott, írásai megjelentek a The New York Times, a Slate, a Quartz, a Los Angeles Times, a Foreign Policy, a BBC, az AFAR és a The Best American Travel Writing hasábjain. Washingtonban él.

A Geografia dos Génios

release date: Dec 01, 2016
A Geografia dos Génios
Em A Geografia dos Génios Eric Weiner, autor do aclamado bestseller A Geografia da Felicidade, conduz-nos a uma viagem à volta do mundo para examinar a relação entre determinadas cidades e algumas das ideias mais inovadoras que a história da humanidade conheceu. Para esse efeito, explora lugares como Viena, Florença, Atenas, Silicon Valley, entre outros, e revela-nos como certas configurações urbanas podem conduzir a uma genialidade altamente criativa. Dono de um sentido de humor altamente perspicaz e muito reconhecido, o autor faz-nos calcorrear os mesmos caminhos dos génios de outrora - como Sócrates, Miguel Ângelo ou Leonardo - e a descobrir qual a resposta a uma pergunta tão irónica quanto pertinente sobre o valor da cultura na promoção da criatividade: «O que está no ar destas cidades, podemos engarrafá-lo?»

Geografia del genio

release date: Oct 20, 2016
Geografia del genio
Che cos''è il genio? Come nasce? Perché certi luoghi, in certi momenti, hanno prodotto una grande quantità di menti brillanti e di buone idee, mentre altri no? Oggi sappiamo che le persone geniali non nascono singolarmente, a caso, bensì a gruppi. Il genio tende a fare massa, e la genetica c''entra pochissimo: le epoche d''oro vanno e vengono molto più rapidamente di quanto cambi il patrimonio genetico. Quali sono le cause, quindi? Il clima? La ricchezza? Con piglio sicuro e humor irriverente, Weiner esamina le connessioni, anche le più inaspettate, tra l''ingegno e l''ambiente in cui si sviluppa, e lo fa accompagnandoci in sette luoghi esemplari: alcuni sono enormi metropoli, come la Vienna del 1900, altri sono piccoli centri, come la Firenze del Cinquecento. Certi, come l''antica Atene, sono ben noti; altri, come la Calcutta del XIX secolo, lo sono meno. Ciascuno di questi posti, tuttavia, ha rappresentato un momento culminante nella storia dell''umanità. E quasi tutti sono città: possiamo essere ispirati dalla natura, ma è chiaro che il contesto urbano ha qualcosa di particolarmente favorevole alla genialità, che questo libro ci invita a ripensare come il frutto di una cultura che la incoraggia, non come atto individuale ma come responsabilità collettiva.

The Geography of Genius

The Geography of Genius
Tag along on this New York Times bestselling “witty, entertaining romp” (The New York Times Book Review) as Eric Weiner travels the world, from Athens to Silicon Valley—and back through history, too—to show how creative genius flourishes in specific places at specific times. In this “intellectual odyssey, traveler’s diary, and comic novel all rolled into one” (Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness), acclaimed travel writer Weiner sets out to examine the connection between our surroundings and our most innovative ideas. A “superb travel guide: funny, knowledgeable, and self-deprecating” (The Washington Post), he explores the history of places like Vienna of 1900, Renaissance Florence, ancient Athens, Song Dynasty Hangzhou, and Silicon Valley to show how certain urban settings are conducive to ingenuity. With his trademark insightful humor, this “big-hearted humanist” (The Wall Street Journal) walks the same paths as the geniuses who flourished in these settings to see if the spirit of what inspired figures like Socrates, Michelangelo, and Leonardo remains. In these places, Weiner asks, “What was in the air, and can we bottle it?” “Fun and thought provoking” (The Miami Herald), The Geography of Genius reevaluates the importance of culture in nurturing creativity and “offers a practical map for how we can all become a bit more inventive” (Adam Grant, author of Originals).
