Brooks Arthur C.; Winfrey Oprah Title : Scegli la vita che vuoi. L'arte e la scienza di essere più felici
Author: Brooks Arthur C.; Winfrey Oprah
Publisher: Aboca Edizioni

Sembra che cercare la felicità a volte sia come cercare qualcosa che non esiste. Possiamo cogliere un barlume dell'effetto che può avere quando la inseguiamo, ma non durerà. Le persone ne parlano, e alcuni affermano di possederla, ma coloro che secondo la società dovrebbero essere in tutto e per tutto felici spesso finiscono sui giornali per problemi economici, scandali privati e disastri familiari. Se il segreto della felicità eterna esistesse, a questo punto l'avremmo trovato, ma nonostante tutto il nostro ingegno non padroneggiamo ancora l'arte di ottenere e conservare l'unica cosa che vogliamo davvero. Basandosi sulle più recenti scoperte scientifiche, sulla loro esperienza nel convertire le idee in azioni e condividendo le storie toccanti di persone comuni che, nonostante ostacoli e difficoltà, riescono a vivere con gioia, Arthur Brooks, studioso della felicità, e Oprah Winfrey, icona della crescita personale, ci mostrano che la scienza della felicità esiste, ma richiede tempo e fatica. Ci spiegano perché la felicità non è una destinazione ma una direzione, e ci propongono una serie di pratiche concrete per costruirla attraverso quattro pilastri: famiglia, amicizia, lavoro e fede. Senza dimenticare il mattoncino più importante di tutti: l'amore. Grazie agli strumenti di gestione emotiva, che Brooks e Winfrey descrivono con esempi molto efficaci, anziché limitarci a sperare che le circostanze esterne a noi migliorino, potremo prendere in mano il nostro presente e il nostro futuro. La felicità non è un dono riservato a pochi, è una capacità che tutti possiamo sviluppare.

Brooks Arthur C. Title : La seconda onda. Trovare il successo, la felicità e un senso profondo nella seconda metà della vita
Author: Brooks Arthur C.
Publisher: Aboca Edizioni

Nella prima metà della vita, le persone ambiziose adottano una formula semplice per inseguire il successo: si concentrano con determinazione, lavorano instancabilmente, si sacrificano e non si fermano mai. Funziona. Fino a quando non funziona più. La seconda metà della vita è governata da regole diverse. Nella mezza età, molti iniziano a scoprire che il successo diventa sempre più difficile da raggiungere, le ricompense sono meno soddisfacenti e i rapporti familiari potrebbero inaridirsi. Per reagire, fanno quello che ci si aspetta da loro: lavorano ancora di più nel tentativo di evitare il declino e negano quei cambiamenti intellettuali e fisici che stanno diventando sempre più evidenti. Il risultato? Rabbia, paura e delusione in un momento della vita che immaginavano sarebbe stato pieno di gioia, soddisfazione e orgoglio. Anche Arthur Brooks ha attraversato una fase simile: al culmine della sua carriera, alla vigilia dei cinquant'anni, aveva raggiunto tutti gli obiettivi che si era prefissato, eppure non si sentiva appagato. Ha intrapreso, quindi, un percorso per scoprire come convertire le possibili delusioni future in opportunità di crescita personale, elaborando un piano strategico per vivere una seconda metà della vita più felice e significativa della prima. Dopo aver studiato le biografie di alcune delle persone di maggior successo della storia, aver attinto alle scienze sociali, alla filosofia, alle neuroscienze, alla teologia e alla saggezza orientale, aver intervistato capi di stato ma anche donne e uomini comuni, Brooks ha condensato tutta la sapienza raccolta in

Brooks Arthur C. Title : The Conservative Heart
Author: Brooks Arthur C.
Publisher: Broadside Books

The prominent economist and president of the American Enterprise Institute—the leading intellectual think tank on the right—offers a bold new vision for conservatism as a movement for social and economic justice.

In The Conservative Heart, Arthur C. Brooks contends that after years of focusing on economic growth and traditional social values, it is time for a new kind of conservatism—one that helps the vulnerable without mortgaging our children’s future. In Brooks’ daring vision, this conservative movement fights poverty, promotes equal opportunity, celebrates earned success, and values spiritual enlightenment. It is an inclusive movement with a positive agenda to help people lead happier, more hopeful, and more satisfied lives.

One of the country’s leading scholars and policy thinkers, Brooks has considered these issues for decades. Drawing on years of research on the sources of happiness, he asserts that what people most need are four “institutions of meaning”—faith, family, community, and meaningful work. These are not only the foundations of personal wellbeing, but also the necessary means for building a better nation.

Combining reporting, original research, and case studies, and free of vituperative politics,The Conservative Heart is an intelligent and compelling manifesto for renewal. Clear, well-reasoned, and accessible, it is a welcome new strategy for disconsolate conservatives looking for fresh, actionable ideas to address the serious problems confronting us today and to reclaim our future, and for politically independent citizens who believe that neither political party addresses their needs or concerns.

Bradley Anne R. (EDT), Lindsley Art (EDT), Brooks Arthur C. Ph.D. (FRW) Title : For the Least of These
Author: Bradley Anne R. (EDT), Lindsley Art (EDT), Brooks Arthur C. Ph.D. (FRW)
Publisher: Zondervan

Today, many thoughtful and compassionate Christians are addressing the challenge of alleviating poverty. But while much progress has been made, many well-intentioned efforts have led Christians to actions that are not only ineffective, but leave the most vulnerable in a worse situation than before. Is there a better answer?

Combining biblical exegesis with proven economic principles, For the Least of These: A Biblical Answer to Poverty equips Christians with both a solid biblical and economic understanding of how best to care for the poor and foster sustainable economic development. With contributions from fifteen leading Christian economists, theologians, historians, and practitioners, it presents the case for why a multi-faceted approach is needed, and why a renewed focus on markets and trade are the world’s best hope for alleviating poverty and serving those in financial need.

Brooks Arthur C. Title : La via della libertà. Come vincere la battaglia per la libera iniziativa
Author: Brooks Arthur C.
Publisher: Rubbettino

Nonostante il 70% degli americani abbia fiducia nel sistema fondato sulla libera iniziativa, lo Stato continua a crescere per dimensioni e competenze. I sostenitori dell'economia di mercato non sembrano in grado di fermare questa deriva, che potrebbe condurre gli Stati Uniti verso uno statalismo di stile europeo. Il motivo, secondo Arthur Brooks, sta nel fatto che i loro freddi argomenti statistici non convincono il cuore della gente: gli esseri umani sono intrinsecamente morali e, tra i ragionamenti materialistici a favore del capitalismo e gli argomenti moralistici a sostegno delle pur fallimentari politiche stataliste, essi sono empaticamente portati a scegliere questi ultimi. Affinché diventi vincente un'idea deve conquistare il cuore della gente. E ciò può richiedere molto tempo. Brooks spiega come il sistema capitalistico non sia solo superiore dal punto di vista scientifico e materiale, ma anche e soprattutto sotto il profilo morale. Il libero mercato, più di ogni altro sistema, garantisce giustizia e mobilità sociale e corrisponde alle preoccupazioni morali delle persone. Il 'successo conquistato' per mezzo di rischi e sacrifici avvicina alla felicità e alla realizzazione personale molto più dell'assistenzialismo, capace solo di portare verso una spirale di dipendenza dallo Stato che non giova né all'animo umano né al tessuto sociale.

Brooks Arthur C. Title : The Road to Freedom
Author: Brooks Arthur C.
Publisher: Basic Books

Entrepreneurship, personal responsibility, and upward mobility: These traditions are at the heart of the free enterprise system, and have long been central to America's exceptional culture. In recent years, however, policymakers have dramatically weakened these traditions—by exploding the size of government, propping up their corporate cronies, and trying to reorient our system from rewarding merit to redistributing wealth.

 In The Road to Freedom, American Enterprise Institute President Arthur C. Brooks shows that this trend cannot be reversed through materialistic appeals about the economic efficiency of capitalism. Rather, free enterprise requires a moral defense rooted in the ideals of earned success, equality of opportunity, charity, and basic fairness. Brooks builds this defense and demonstrates how it is central to understanding the major policy issues facing America today.

The future of the free enterprise system has become a central issue in our national debate, and Brooks offers a practical manual for defending it over the coming years. Both a moral manifesto and a prescription for concrete policy changes, The Road to Freedom will help Americans in all walks of life translate the philosophy of free enterprise into action, to restore both our nation's greatness and our own well-being in the process.

Brooks Arthur C. Title : The Battle
Author: Brooks Arthur C.
Publisher: Basic Books

America faces a new culture war--one that threatens our long-standing culture of free enterprise. Free enterprise embodies the values that define us as a nation: individual liberty, equal opportunity, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance. But the recent economic crisis has distorted these values, leading many Americans to forget the evils of socialism--which, as Arthur C. Brooks reveals, is back with a vengeance. Its proponents are playing for keeps, and if they win, America will be changed forever, both economically and culturally. At once a call to action and a crucial redefinition of the gulf that divides Americans, The Battle offers a plan of action for the defense of free enterprise, the very soul of America.

Wehner Peter, Brooks Arthur C. Title : Wealth & Justice
Author: Wehner Peter, Brooks Arthur C.
Publisher: Aei Pr

In Wealth and Justice, Arthur C. Brooks and Peter Wehner explore how America's system of democratic capitalism both depends upon and cultivates an intricate social web of families, churches, and communities. Far from oppressing and depriving individuals, the free market system uniquely enables Americans to exercise vocation and experience the dignity of self-sufficiency, all while contributing to the common good. The fruits of this system include the alleviation of poverty, better health, and greater access to education than at any other time in human history-but also a more significant prosperity: the flourishing of the human soul.

Brooks Arthur C. Title : Gross National Happiness
Author: Brooks Arthur C.
Publisher: Basic Books

Who are the happiest Americans? Surveys show that religious people think they are happier than secularists, and secularists think they are happier than religious people. Liberals believe they are happier than conservatives, and conservatives disagree. In fact, almost every group thinks it is happier than everyone else. In this provocative new book, Arthur C. Brooks explodes the myths about happiness in America. As he did in the controversial Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism, Brooks examines vast amounts of evidence and empirical research to uncover the truth about who is happy in America, who is not, and-most important-why. He finds that there is a real “happiness gap” in America today, and it lies disconcertingly close to America's cultural and political fault lines. The great divide between the happy and the unhappy in America, Brooks shows, is largely due to differences in social and cultural values. The values that bring happiness are faith, charity, hard work, optimism, and individual liberty. Secularism, excessive reliance on the state to solve problems, and an addiction to security all promote unhappiness. What can be done to maximize America's happiness? Replete with the unconventional wisdom for which Brooks has come to be known, Gross National Happiness offers surprising and illuminating conclusions about how our government can best facilitate Americans in their pursuit of happiness.

Brooks Arthur C., Wilson James Q. (FRW) Title : Who Really Cares
Author: Brooks Arthur C., Wilson James Q. (FRW)
Publisher: Basic Books

We all know we should give to charity, but who really does? In his controversial study of America's giving habits, Arthur C. Brooks shatters stereotypes about charity in America-including the myth that the political Left is more compassionate than the Right. Brooks, a preeminent public policy expert, spent years researching giving trends in America, and even he was surprised by what he found. In Who Really Cares, he identifies the forces behind American charity: strong families, church attendance, earning one's own income (as opposed to receiving welfare), and the belief that individuals-not government-offer the best solution to social ills. But beyond just showing us who the givers and non-givers in America really are today, Brooks shows that giving is crucial to our economic prosperity, as well as to our happiness, health, and our ability to govern ourselves as a free people.
