Além da Alma

De maneira divertida e pitoresca, o autor narra suas memórias da infância no Egito, das reuniões de família e os aromas dos pratos preparados por sua mãe aos sons e imagens da vida egípcia daquela época. O autor, então, nos leva em seu amargo êxodo do Egito para o Brasil. Ele compartilha com o leitor seus primeiros desafios naquela terra desconhecida e fala sobre sua vida no Rio de Janeiro e, posteriormente, no Canadá. Finalmente, ele encerra sua jornada em Boston, nos Estados Unidos, após a oferta de uma transferência definitiva para a sede da companhia naquela cidade. Ele, então, discorre sobre sua árdua ascensão na empresa, de passo em passo, afiando suas habilidades de gerenciamento a cada etapa e culminando com sua chegada ao topo da carreira corporativa. Ali, ele aprendeu a lidar com seu Conselho de Administração, banqueiros de investimento e analistas de Wall Street. Este garoto de Alexandria nos convida a penetrar seus pensamentos mais profundos, mostrando-nos como conseguiu desenvolver um novo conceito de vida, seu significado e propósito, graças à Logosofia, a ciência do autoconhecimento. Por fim, ele nos oferece suas conclusões, após vinte anos de investigação, sobre “As Origens da Antiga Civilização Egípcia” e “Quem Foram os Judeus”.
