John Biguenet explora distintos aspectos que circundan ese elemento tan inasible que es el silencio, desde el silencio comercializado (las salas VIP de los aeropuertos que nos permiten "escapar" del ruido) hasta el silencio aterrador (las cámaras anecoicas donde solo escuchamos el fluir de la sangre por nuestras venas o el latir de nuestro corazón), y nos permite descubrir que no existe "el" silencio, sino distintas formas de silencio.

Vom Kindesalter an übernehmen wir die Denkweisen und Meinungen von Eltern, Lehrern und Mitmenschen. Traditionen, Weltanschauungen, Moral, Religion, Gesetze, Werbung und soziale Medien sind nur einige der Faktoren, die unser Denken und unsere Ansichten und Meinungen prägen. Dabei vergessen wir schnell, dass wir diese Dinge nicht einfach so akzeptieren müssen. Woher kommen Moralvorstellungen? Wie sind Religionen entstanden? Wer hat entschieden, was richtig oder falsch ist? Was ist unser Sinn des Lebens?

Vivere è sempre un vivere insieme, convivere: ciò accade in tutti i contesti della vita sociale, dalla famiglia alla scuola, dal condominio al lavoro, dal quartiere allo Stato. A partire da una tesi antica ma quanto mai attuale, secondo cui l'uomo è un animale sociale, Michele Tamponi analizza il concetto di socialità nel contesto in cui viviamo: neppure un'immaginaria campana di vetro potrebbe, insomma, sottrarre l'uomo alle varie forme di convivenza cui è destinato, senza le quali sarebbe condannato alla solitudine, alla noia e a un innaturale isolamento.

Questo audiolibro si confronta con gli enigmi dei diversi modi di essere, femminili e maschili, che si colgono nelle regioni della interiorità lacerata dalla sofferenza psichica; e analizza questi modi di essere in alcune dissonanti esperienze anoressiche, depressive e dissociative, e in alcune emblematiche esperienze poetiche e artistiche divorate da alte tensioni emozionali: quelle, fra le altre, di Emily Dickinson e di Georg Trakl, di Vincent Van Gogh e di Camille Claudel.

Un titre qui sonne comme une confidence, un murmure susurré dans le creux de l'oreille. Mais qu'on ne s'y trompe pas : nul secret ici qui ne doive être dissimulé et ne puisse être répété. Car ce qu'a à nous dire Emeric Lebreton dans ce nouvel ouvrage concerne le plus grand nombre c'est-à-dire le genre humain.

Will you be richer or poorer? What does the future hold for you - and for the world? Supposedly, we're all getting richer, but many of us feel we’re becoming poorer. Why? One reason is our economy doesn’t even measure many kinds of wealth and ignores many costs. Clearly, clean air and water, good health, and civil liberties are valuable, but you won’t find these on any balance sheet. Our system’s incentives are to maximize short-term financial profits, and everything else is treated as if it doesn’t exist.

Toutefois la profondeur du débat est épineuse, car est-il seulement possible de dresser un portrait qui rassemble, sans diviser ni exclure ?
