Más inteligente que el método de Napoleón Hill: Desafiando las ideas de éxito del libro "Más inteligente que el diablo" - Volumen 04


Book Description

En su libro "Más inteligente que el diablo", Napoleón Hill propone una filosofía de trabajo duro y perseverancia como claves del éxito. Sin embargo, este punto de vista ignora la importancia del equilibrio entre la vida laboral y personal , que es esencial para la salud mental, física y emocional de un individuo. Este libro electrónico pretende criticar la cultura del trabajo excesivo y agotador presente en la obra de Hill y defender un modelo de éxito que valora el tiempo libre, el descanso y las relaciones interpersonales. Crítica a la cultura del exceso El trabajo de Hill promueve la idea de que el éxito requiere sacrificios personales, incluido trabajar muchas horas y renunciar a pasatiempos y ocio. Esta visión, además de ser insostenible en el largo plazo , puede acarrear varios problemas, como por ejemplo: •Estrés: El exceso de trabajo puede generar estrés crónico, lo que contribuye al desarrollo de enfermedades físicas y mentales, como ansiedad, depresión y problemas cardiovasculares. •Burnout: La falta de descanso y tiempo libre puede provocar burnout profesional, caracterizado por agotamiento físico y mental, pérdida de productividad y desmotivación. •Deterioro de las relaciones interpersonales: Priorizar el trabajo sobre la vida personal puede dañar las relaciones con familiares y amigos, provocando soledad y aislamiento. La importancia del equilibrio Mantener un equilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida personal es esencial para el bienestar de una persona. El tiempo libre y el descanso son fundamentales para: •Recarga tu energía: El descanso físico y mental permite al individuo recuperar energías y volver al trabajo con más energía y productividad. •Cultivar aficiones e intereses: El tiempo libre permite a las personas dedicarse a actividades que les aportan placer y satisfacción, contribuyendo a su bienestar emocional. •Fortalecer las relaciones interpersonales: El tiempo dedicado a familiares y amigos fortalece los vínculos emocionales y contribuye al sentimiento de pertenencia y apoyo social.

Influence and Intertextuality in Literary History


Book Description

This collection explores and clarifies two of the most contested ideas in literary theory - influence and intertextuality. The study of influence tends to centre on major authors and canonical works, identifying prior documents as sources or contexts for a given author. Intertextuality, on the other hand, is a concept unconcerned with authors as individuals; it treats all texts as part of a network of discourse that includes culture, history and social practices as well as other literary works. In thirteen essays drawing on the entire spectrum of English and American literary history, this volume considers the relationship between these two terms across the whole range of their usage.




Reading for Storyness


Book Description

The short story has been a staple of American literature since the nineteenth century, taught in virtually every high school and consistently popular among adult readers. But what makes a short story unique? In Reading for Storyness, Susan Lohafer, former president of the Society for the Study of the Short Story, argues that there is much more than length separating short stories from novels and other works of fiction. With its close readings of stories by Kate Chopin, Julio Cortázar, Katherine Mansfield, and others, this book challenges assumptions about the short story and effectively redefines the genre in a fresh and original way. In her analysis, Lohafer combines traditional literary theory with a more unconventional mode of research, monitoring the reactions of readers as they progress through a story—to establish a new poetics of the genre. Singling out the phenomenon of "imminent closure" as the genre's defining trait, she then proceeds to identify "preclosure points," or places where a given story could end, in order to access hidden layers of the reading experience. She expertly harnesses this theory of preclosure to explore interactions between pedagogy and theory, formalism and cultural studies, fiction and nonfiction. Returning to the roots of storyness, Lohafer illuminates the intricacies of classic short stories and experimental forms of surreal, postmodern, and minimalist fiction. She also discusses the impact of social constructions, such as gender, on the identification of preclosure points by individual readers. Reading for Storyness combines cognitive science with literary theory to present a compelling argument for the uniqueness of the short story.

Borges 2.0


Book Description

Borges 2.0: From Text to Virtual Worlds analyzes Jorge Luis Borges's «The Library of Babel», «The Garden of Forking Paths», and «The Intruder» from a tripartite perspective that encompasses literature, science, and technology. This book underscores developments in chaos theory during the 1980s and their intricate connections with Borges's works and the digital world. Without losing sight of this critical framework, this study also takes into account Deleuze and Guattari's rhizome theory and Umberto Eco's theory on labyrinths. Borges 2.0 is unique in its analysis of how Borgesian texts relate to science and technology at the same time that science and the virtual world illuminate Borges's texts to provide a new reading of his work.




A History of Psychology


Book Description

A History of Psychology places social, economic, and political forces of change alongside psychology’s internal theoretical and empirical arguments, illuminating how the external world has shaped psychology’s development, and, in turn, how the late twentieth century’s psychology has shaped society. Featuring extended treatment of important movements such as the Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution, the textbook approaches the material from an integrative rather than wholly linear perspective. The text carefully examines how issues in psychology reflect and affect concepts that lie outside the field of psychology’s technical concerns as a science and profession. This new edition features expanded attention on psychoanalysis after its founding as well as new developments in cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and behavioral economics. Throughout, the book strengthens its exploration of psychological ideas and the cultures in which they developed and reinforces the connections between psychology, modernism, and postmodernism. The textbook covers scientific, applied, and professional psychology, and is appropriate for higher-level undergraduate and graduate students.
