a handful of happiness massimo vacchetta

The heart-warming story of how a tiny hedgehog helped one man find hope. ''Could you look after it for a couple of days? . . .'' So begins the extraordinary friendship between veterinarian Massimo, who is at a low spot in his life, and a tiny, orphaned hedgehog. Only a few days old, covered with soft, white quills and mewling quietly, this little creature will turn around his life forever. Through the sheer force of Ninna''s personality - curious, playful, affectionate - and the sudden, unexpected paternal protectiveness he feels nursing her back to health, Massimo reconnects with the world - and finally begins to feel like home. But as Ninna wakes from her first hibernation, she grows up, like any teenager, longing for freedom. A creature of the wild, she craves the free range of the woods beyond Massimo''s house. Massimo must accept that Ninna is ready to move on . . . but one little hedgehog saved and released into her natural habitat is a new beginning for Massimo: setting up a sanctuary for the injured, orphaned, fragile - but with a will to live so strong it is truly contagious.

„Tak prečo to robíš? Čo z tých ježkov máš?“ „Mám z nich radosť.“ „Mohol by si sa oňho tie dva dni postarať?“ Tak nejako začalo priateľstvo veterinára Massima špecializujúceho sa na dobytok s opusteným ježkom. Mláďatko staré sotva pár dní je celé ružovkasté a na chrbte má pásik bielych, mäkkých a mierne rozstrapatených pichliačov. Váži iba dvadsaťpäť gramov a tíško fňuká – je hladné, je mu zima, možno sa cíti osamelo. Jeho zúfalé nariekanie je však také silné a naliehavé, že prenikne aj cez Massimov obranný štít ukutý z apatie a sily zvyku. A tak sa stalo, že mu Ninna – to rozstrapatené ježie mláďatko bola samička – kúzlom svojej osobnosti prevrátila život naruby. Je zvedavá. Len čo vycíti niečo nové, hneď vystrčí ňufáčik zo svojho úkrytu. Je veľmi hravá. Zabáva sa tým, že ňufákom prevracia misku s vodou. Je nežná. Keď Massima dlhší čas nevidí, od samej radosti ho potom oblíže. Ale je to aj voľne žijúce zviera, ktoré potrebuje slobodu.

Lisina očka jsou živá a tmavá, tělo štíhlé a čumáček pěkně zašpičatělý. Když ji našli, sotva lapala po dechu, pravděpodobně byla omráčená od auta. Jedině Massimo, který pro ježky založil záchrannou stanici v oblasti Langhe, ji může zachránit. Vypadá to beznadějně, ale ani jeden z nich to nevzdává a po noci plné obav se ježeček znovu staví na nohy. Ovšem ne tak docela, traumatické poranění mozku mu způsobilo hemiparézu, takže je trvale postižený. Je správné udržovat ho při životě s vědomím, že bude potřebovat neustálou péči a nikdy znovu nepocítí, jak chutná svoboda? A co s Tvářičkou, zohavenou od sekačky na trávu? Anebo s Pacičkou, která se narodila bez zadních nohou? Massimo neváhá – život je život a je potřeba ho zachránit. Od té chvíle se Lisa a další stávají jeho nerozlučnými společníky, a to když se o ně stará i během probdělých nocí po mnoha kritických situacích. Díky ježkům se Massimo naučil být trpělivý, umět se vcítit i pochopit, kolik radosti se skrývá v drobných skutcích. O významu toho, co pro ježky dělá, se sám přesvědčí, když onemocní jeho matka a jemu se krůček po krůčku podaří překonat konflikty a nedorozumění a znovu objevit, co je vždy spojovalo. V ...

A provocative examination of the fate of autonomous, creative labor under capitalism. Between 1917 and 1919, Max Weber delivered two lectures titled Die geistige Arbeit als Beruf, which we might translate as The Labour of Spirit as Vocation. This weighty formula represented the hope that animated the world of bourgeois culture from the likes of Kant, Goethe, Schiller, Fichte, and Hegel and would later form the earliest threads of revolutionary thought from Feuerbach and Marx. The “labor of spirit” is creative, autonomous labor—human labor understood in its fully effectual power. To press for its realization is to liberate all activity from the condition of commanded or alienated work. But the dissolution of the labor of spirit into the capitalist form of production, into the universal machinism that swallows up that science which remains the true engine of development, also ends up delegitimating political authority, whose own foundation lies in the “promise of liberation.” Massimo Cacciari takes up old questions and confronts them anew: Is the “iron cage” fated to imprison that “labor of spirit” that is political praxis? Will the spirit of capitalism end up completely undermining the space of the political? Or are relations between science and politics still ... Unknown localization key: "more"

''Pain is bad, right? In this fascinating book, Brock Bastian will convince you otherwise. Drawing on both vivid everyday examples and surprising laboratory findings, he shows how pain, suffering, and struggle give us pleasure, make us kinder, focus our thoughts, and give our life meaning'' Paul Bloom, author of Against EmpathyIn today''s culture, happiness has become the new marker of success, while hardships are viewed as personal weaknesses, or problems to be fixed. We increasingly try to eradicate pain through medication and by insulating ourselves from risk and offence, despite being the safest generation to have ever lived. Yet in his research, renowned social psychologist Brock Bastian has found that suffering and sadness are neither antithetical to happiness nor incidental to it: they are a necessary ingredient for emotional well-being.Drawing on psychology, neuroscience and internationally acclaimed findings from Bastian''s own lab, The Other Side of Happiness encourages us to take a more fearless approach to living.

Do Jane Austen novels truly celebrate—or undermine—romance and happy endings?How did Jane Austen become a cultural icon for fairy-tale endings when her own books end in ways that are rushed, ironic, and reluctant to satisfy readers'' thirst for romance? In Jane Austen and the Price of Happiness, Austen scholar Inger Sigrun Bredkjær Brodey journeys through the iconic novelist''s books in the first full-length study of Austen''s endings. Through a careful exploration of Austen''s own writings and those of the authors she read during her lifetime—as well as recent cultural reception and adaptations of her novels—Brodey examines the contradictions that surround this queen of romance.Brodey argues that Austen''s surprising choices in her endings are an essential aspect of the writer''s own sense of the novel and its purpose. Austen''s fiercely independent and deeply humanistic ideals led her to develop a style of ending all her own. Writing in a culture that set a monetary value on success in marriage and equated matrimony with happiness, Austen questions these cultural norms and makes her readers work for their comic conclusions, carefully anticipating and shaping her readers'' emotional involvement in her novels.

Are you happy? Does it matter?Increasingly, governments seem to think so. As the UK government conducts its first happiness survey, Alastair Campbell looks at happiness as a political as well as a personal issue; what it should mean to us, what it means to him. Taking in economic and political theories, he questions how happiness can survive in a grossly negative media culture, and how it could inform social policy. But happiness is also deeply personal. Campbell, who suffers from depression, looks in the mirror and finds a bittersweet reflection, a life divided between the bad and not-so-bad days, where the highest achievements in his professional life could leave him numb, and he can somehow look back on a catastrophic breakdown twenty-five years ago as the best thing that happened to him. He writes too of what he has learned from the recent death of his best friend, further informing his view that the pursuit of happiness is a long game.Originally published as part of the Brain Shots series, the pre-eminent source for high-quality, short-form digital non-fiction.

Isabel Dalhousie is one of Edinburgh''s most generous (but discreet) philanthropists - but should she be more charitable? She wonders, sometimes, if she is too judgmental about her niece''s amorous exploits, too sharp about her housekeeper''s spiritual beliefs, too ready to bristle in battle against her enemies. As the editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, she doesn''t, of course, allow herself actual enemies, but she does feel enmity - especially towards two academics who have just arrived in the city. Isabel feels they''re a highly destabilizing influence; little tremors in the volcanic rock upon which an Enlightened Edinburgh perches. Equally troubling is the situation of the little boy who is convinced he had a previous life. When Isabel is called upon to help, she finds herself questioning her views on reincarnation.

The stoics lived a long time ago, but they had some startling insights into the human condition-insights which endure to this day. The philosophical tradition, founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in 301 BC, endured as an active movement for almost 500 years, and contributions from dazzling minds such as Cicero, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius helped create a body of thought with an extraordinary goal-to provide a rational, healthy way of living in harmony with the nature of the universe and in respect of our relationships with each other. In many ways a precursor to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Stoicism provides an armamentarium of strategies and techniques for developing psychological resilience, while celebrating all in life which is beautiful and important. By learning what stoicism is, you can revolutionize your life and learn how to seize the day, live happily and be a better person. This simple, empowering book shows how to use this ancient wisdom to make practical, positive changes in your life. Using thought-provoking case studies, highlighting key ideas and things to remember and providing tools for self-assessment, it demonstrates that Stoicism is a proven, profound pathway to happiness.
