Laberinto


Book Description

This most archetypal of symbols can be found all around us: from the folds of coral and the internal structure of the Nautilus shell to the queue settings of Disneyland rides; in the monastic library of Melk in the novel and film In the Name of the Rose and Dorothy's yellow-brick road from The Wizard of Oz, to the hero's journeys undertaken by Neo in the Matrix, Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, and Frodo in The Lord of the Rings. This book is meant to bring the secrets and power of the Laberinto into your professional life. It is divided into three parts. Part I covers Chapters 1-3 and gives you a brief history of the Laberinto, where it comes from, the myths associated with it and how they relate to business today. Part II consists of Chapter 4, which describes how to use the laberintos provided in this book and Chapter 5, which contains 16 laberintos focusing on business topics (including marketing, human resource management, leadership, etc.) plus 1 bonus laberinto on business wisdom. Part III concludes the book with Laberinto templates and a reference listing. So if you are ready, let's begin. (from the Introduction)

The Ashtray


Book Description

Filmmaker Errol Morris offers his perspective on the world and his powerful belief in the necessity of truth. In 1972, philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn threw an ashtray at Errol Morris. This book is the result. At the time, Morris was a graduate student. Now we know him as one of the most celebrated and restlessly probing filmmakers of our time, the creator of such classics of documentary investigation as The Thin Blue Line and The Fog of War. Kuhn, meanwhile, was—and, posthumously, remains—a star in his field, the author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, a landmark book that has sold well over a million copies and introduced the concept of “paradigm shifts” to the larger culture. And Morris thought the idea was bunk. The Ashtray tells why—and in doing so, it makes a powerful case for Morris’s way of viewing the world, and the centrality to that view of a fundamental conception of the necessity of truth. “For me,” Morris writes, “truth is about the relationship between language and the world: a correspondence idea of truth.” He has no patience for philosophical systems that aim for internal coherence and disdain the world itself. Morris is after bigger game: he wants to establish as clearly as possible what we know and can say about the world, reality, history, our actions and interactions. It’s the fundamental desire that animates his filmmaking, whether he’s probing Robert McNamara about Vietnam or the oddball owner of a pet cemetery. Truth may be slippery, but that doesn’t mean we have to grease its path of escape through philosophical evasions. Rather, Morris argues powerfully, it is our duty to do everything we can to establish and support it. In a time when truth feels ever more embattled, under siege from political lies and virtual lives alike, The Ashtray is a bracing reminder of its value, delivered by a figure who has, over decades, uniquely earned our trust through his commitment to truth. No Morris fan should miss it.
