12 Rules for Life : An Antidote to Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson
Launched earlier this year in America, and in our country at the International Book Fair "Bookfest", 12 Rules of Life was a real success worldwide, reaching the top of the best-selling books on Amazon. The psychologist of Canadian origin proposes 12 rules meant to help us lead a good and balanced life. Peterson starts from the premise that we live in a disorganized, chaotic world. The solution? Return to classical virtues such as courage, honesty, friendship, discipline. The author also urges us to take responsibility for our existence. Life has a meaning waiting to be discovered. It's hard for all of us, some less, some more, but that's not an excuse to run away from responsibilities. Peterson's speech is also compassionate to those confused young people who do not find their place in this world.

Young people eager for a word of encouragement and who still receive only reproaches. The Canadian psychologist tries to encourage them and teach them how to have a fulfilled life. Jordan Peterson is not afraid to tell the truth by name. His statements do not flatter readers. His concern is to speak honestly about the problems of today's world. Probably this sincerity contributed to his rapid success. Or maybe the simplicity with which he talks about what really matters in life.

Thinking, Fast And Slow - By Daniel Kahneman
One of the most important psychologists in the world at the moment, Daniel Kahneman makes an interesting foray into the mechanisms of human thinking to shed more light on them. Kahneman revolutionized cognitive and social psychology through his theories and is also a pioneer in behavioral psychology applied to economics.

In 2002, he also won a Nobel Prize in economics. The author presents in detail in his work the two systems in which he divides his thinking: Here are the two steps to follow

System 1, intuitive and emotionally influential, faster
System 2, slow, deliberative and logical

In other words, the first system provides us with a series of intuitive impressions, while the second system provides a means of controlling them, as well as the ability to understand the world more rigorously than intuition allows. Kahleman admits the extraordinary abilities of fast thinking, but also brings to the fore its errors, proposing the development of slow, more rigorous thinking.

If you are interested in the way our minds work and if you want to know what influences the choices we make, you should read this book. In addition, the author makes you aware that you can be deceived by your own mind, but shows you how to identify strategies that can help you not be fooled.

The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains
Were you in the same situation and wondering what was going on? Nicholas Carr gives you the answer. The above words belong to the author himself, who raises an alarm about the danger that the Internet represents for each of us. Maybe you find it a joke. Should the Internet be a wolf in sheep's clothing? Incredible, but not impossible. It's not a joke. That's what the author says. We can ignore them, but the negative effects of this new technology on human culture are very real. Here are some of the negative effects of the Internet that Nicholas Carr exposes:

Quick access on the net to what we want makes us expect a similar solution when we are not in front of the computer.
We become superficial. We don't explore things in depth anymore.
The power of concentration decreases. When we search for information on the Internet we are exposed to a lot of things that can distract us.
We quickly lose patience.
In support of his ideas, the author brings a lot of arguments, his work being very well documented scientifically. If you have also noticed the major impact that the Internet has on us and you are interested in discovering more, you need to know what Nicholas Carr has to say.

Don't miss this psychological book. It has been very successful since its launch and will help you better understand how our brain works! Enter here and buy it!

The best fashion books of 2011

This year has brought a number of fundamental changes in fashion, absolutely necessary in an environment that became too fragile for a society driven by information obtained dependent easy and free. In 2011 fashion is slowly if we think of the premises that gave it the special note, intangible note. Dreams are no longer build in front of the monitor, but arise as a result of a permanent journey around the world.

These being said, I urge you to put up a reading fashion list of best books to read and to follow and read the most interesting books that were launched in 2011.

The best fashion books of 2011

Ugly Beauty

If you're into fashion books, "Ugly Beauty: Helena Rubinstein, L'Oréal, and the History of Looking Good Blemished" (Harper Collins Publishing) is a must. Ruth Brandon, novelist and fine connoisseur of the history of culture and civilization, is trying to bring the spotlight on two legendary icons: Helena Rubinstein and Eugene Schueller, L'Oréal founder. The volume is especially interesting to study, because it is a successful attempt to penetrate the secrets of business sites that have dominated the cosmetics market since the early years of the Second World War (“War Paint: Madame Helena Rubinstein and Miss Elizabeth Arden”, “Helena Rubinstein” de Catherine Jazdzewski etc). Definitely a best book to read.

Rose, c'est Paris

"Rose, c'est Paris" is not itself a book of fashion but more of an inspirational volume that you should not miss. Bettina Rheims's vision and Serge Bramly's talent meets in pages that evokes Paris in a whole new way. A city animated by artists, identity is confused, obsessions, fetishes and manipulation concealed in the darkness of nights, which is materialized both in fashion and in the film or photography. "Rose, c'est Paris" is published by Taschen.

Christian Lacroix and the Tale of Sleeping Beauty

In 2011, fashion stories are told with a more consistent dose of involvement, not necessarily related to marketing. It's all about an area that constantly fascinates female audience. Beautiful story of Sleeping Beauty, The Brothers Grimm is transposed and told in a new and original manner. The fashion dream becomes real and closer to fulfillment for women who have not forgotten to look at the world through the eyes of a child.

Top 10 Books of All Time

Yes, lists are shameful, but irresistible. But let's play a little: the last battle of authors, a transgression of genres (fiction, journal, poetry), even of styles (modern, classic). The result can be interesting.

In addition, it is a kind of parlor game that adapts perfectly at global narcissism that floods the Internet every day. The exercise has been applied and J. Peder Zane has written book, The Top Ten, published in 2007. The author took 125 great names of literature and came up with a sentence. Here are the best books, in his view:

1. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy,

2. Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert,

3. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy,

4. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov,

5. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

6. Hamlet by William Shakespeare

7. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

8. In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust

9. Stories of Anton Chekhov by Anton Cekhov,

10. Middlemarch by George Eliot.

(you can find all these books on Amazon)

It is an American point of view, because Zane has applied a survey among Americans that can be said to have a certain insight regarding literature. Maybe that explains why Asians are missing, Kazuo Ishiguro, Murakami or South Americans, Allende, Llosa, Marquez.

There are no women in this top. There is no Muriel Spark, no Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf and Iris Murdoch. There is no Kundera, Musil and Mann. And you should consider ontemporary authors that are not detected by radars of our whimsicaltimes, but that will dominate the literary space in a century from now.

Is there a finality for the game above? It's just a taste of test guidance, reading. For that, we can rest assured that we live in the golden age of reading (never before have so many books been available), but we are tortured by the need to choose. What book to read? Where to start? Zane thinks that modern reader works on coordinates described by opportunity and confusion.

The irony is that dedicated readers does not have an apetit for force reading. Libraries are build out of passion, not according to some lists. Reading a book of our choice may be the last freedom we have.

Autobiography of Mark Twain review

Mark Twain is the king of suspense, keeping us expecting for a century in order to reveal memories of his life. The rumours of his demise became accurate 100 years ago and one of Mark Twain's dying wishes comes to live: an extended, forthright and prophetic autobiography which he committed the last 10 years of his life to composing is finally here. UC Press is gallant to propose for the first time Mark Twain's uncensored autobiography in its totality and incisively as he left it.This major well-written event is just like a gift to the lecturers, supporters, and students. The book is the first of three volumes and introduces Mark Twain's authentic and uninhibited voice, full with humor, ideas, and beliefs, and speaking intelligibly from the grave as he designated.
