...tra i libri che amo di più in assoluto...forse il piu' classico di Sacks che oltre ad essere un grande divulgatore è anche un grandissimo scrittore. Ha stile, cultura, raffinatezza, senso dell'umorismo. Ogni suo libro è ricco di riferimenti di storia della medicina, di filosofia e di letteratura. Il suo sguardo lascia trasparire le mille dimensioni inesplorate dell'essere umano...Raccolte in questo libro vi sono una serie di casi clinici descritti attraverso una scrittura semplice ma allo stesso tempo tecnica...fin qui nulla di eccezionale, se nonché lo scrittore non si ferma ad una mera descrizione del paziente ma lo analizza da un punta di visto umano...Per quanto sia difficile accettare una malattia neurologica, Sacks cerca in ogni paziente l'aspetto positivo della malattia poiché ogni privazione apparente di normalità porta con se lo sviluppo di qualche altra caratteristica umana in una sorta di "adattamento neurologico". Così come ci è facile comprendere che un cieco abbia spiccate doti olfattive o uditive così i pazienti del libro sviluppano delle capacità non comuni, ma che hanno come filo conduttore l'attinenza con l'arte sia essa musica, pittura o danza...Un libro da leggere assolutamente che vi accompagnerà, mano nella mano, alla scoperta di mondi inesplorati...#ravenna #booklovers #instabook #igersravenna #instaravenna #ig_books #consiglidilettura #librerieaperte #narrativa #oliversacks https://www.instagram.com/p/CkuriQ6o4sU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

To live on a day-to-day basis is insufficient for human beings; we need to transcend, transport, escape; we need meaning, understanding, and explanation; we need to see over-all patterns in our lives. We need hope, the sense of a future. And we need freedom (or, at least, the illusion of freedom) to get beyond ourselves, whether with telescopes and microscopes and our ever-burgeoning technology, or in states of mind that allow us to travel to other worlds, to rise above our immediate surroundings #OliverSacks #patterns #train #yellow #move https://www.instagram.com/p/CjiwlTDMD_K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Honor World Gratitude Day!

Today, September 21st, is World Gratitude Day. World Gratitude Day is "a day the whole world can pause to appreciate all they are thankful for. There is no doubt 2020 has been a whirlwind – a global pandemic, economic uncertainty, and urgency around racial injustice. But there are signs that gratitude can serve as a powerful antidote and anchor for our collective well-being. Dr. Robert A. Emmons, professor of psychology at University of California, Davis, defines gratitude as “a celebration of the good – and a recognition that this good is sourced outside the self.” (Forbes)

A little history from WorkHuman:

What is World Gratitude Day?

It was in 1965, at a Thanksgiving Day dinner in the meditation room of the United Nations building, that the idea of World Gratitude Day first came into being. Spiritual and meditation leader Sri Chinmoy suggested there be a day of thanks the whole world could celebrate together. Those present at the meeting pledged that each year on Sept. 21 they would hold a celebration of gratitude in their country.

In 1977, during a special ceremony that honored Sri, a resolution passed that would officially recognize World Gratitude Day. Since then, this annual observance has grown to become a dynamic, worldwide movement.

In the interest of making myself leas anxious, I decided to limit my #septembertbr to three #scienceseptember reads: 🐙 SPINELESS by Juli Berwald 🦠 AN ELEGANT DEFENSE by Matt Richtel 🔎 AN ANTHROPOLOGIST ON MARS by Oliver Sacks . . Three books from South America for #readtheworld21: 🔥 THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE by Mariana Enriquez 👣HOPSCOTCH bu Julio Cortázar 💎 THE CHANDELIER by Clarice Lispector . . And one sci-fi pick: 🧜🏿‍♀️THE DEEP by Rivers Solomon, et.al. . . As usual, my monthly tbrs are aspirational, and are most just to inspire me as a choose new books to read during the month. I remain a mood reader. BUT, I am really hoping to get a few science books in this month, it’s been too long! . . What are you looking forward to this month? . . #tbr #hopscotch #juliocortázar #thedeep #riverssolomon #thechandelier #claricelispector #thingswelostinthefire #marianaenriquez #ananthropologistonmars #oliversacks #anelegantdefense #mattrichtel #spineless #juliberwald https://www.instagram.com/p/CEpUbGWgm-_/?igshid=139l6rmbu1a5c
