Radar 12min

The aging of the world is being read as imminent catastrophe. There's another reading underway — in labor policy, in longevity science, and in the geopolitical rebalance between aging and younger economies. This Radar travels from Tokyo to Milan, Seoul, and Africa to make sense of a civilizational transition still being written, with names, dates, and a concept worth adopting into your vocabulary: designed longevity.

Aging Isn't the Crisis. It's the Achievement.

A discovery in the brain's own immune cells is challenging the dominant model of anxiety treatment. This Radar breaks down the study, what it changes, and what's still worth doing while the science catches up.

What anxiety is, and what to do about it

Cicero trained his voice against the sound of the waves. Demosthenes rehearsed with pebbles in his mouth. Churchill repeated every speech in front of the mirror. The greatest orators in history were not born fluent... they learned to speak the way someone learns to lift weights. This Radar shows why rhetoric is the most underestimated muscle of any career, and why the professional who knows how to name what she does rises faster than the technically equal or superior colleague who cannot explain herself.

O cérebro XX é um alerta e um guia baseado em ciência sobre por que o cérebro feminino envelhece de forma diferente e por que a medicina convencional ainda não está preparada para lidar com isso. A Dra. Lisa Mosconi combina neurociência, genética e medicina de precisão para mostrar que o risco de Alzheimer nas mulheres tem causas específicas e, mais importante, que ele pode ser prevenido com décadas de antecedência.

Love and friendship are the backbone of happiness, and no one could argue otherwise.

Personal Development

The Rough Patch is a clinical and deeply human guide to what happens to marriages when midlife arrives and shakes everything that once felt solid. Drawing on decades of experience as a psychologist, Daphne de Marneffe shows that distance, boredom, and the temptation to run away are not signs of failure — they're invitations to a kind of growth that only maturity can provoke.

The Rough Patch

It's time to learn about the main pillars of society, world politics, and different cultures. 

Society & Politics

The Body Is Not an Apology grew from a single sentence Sonya Renee Taylor said to a friend in a moment of vulnerability and became a full manifesto. With direct and deeply resonant language, the book connects each person's individual relationship with their own body to larger systems of oppression — racism, fatphobia, and ableism — and makes the case that radical self-love is not self-indulgence but a political act of resistance.

Parenting

Autism and Inclusion breaks down Autism Spectrum Disorder through the lens of practical education, showing parents and teachers how to create environments where autistic children can genuinely thrive. Drawing on psychopedagogy and methods like ABA, TEACCH, and Montessori, Eugênio Cunha delivers a compassionate, actionable guide that replaces fear and confusion with clarity, purpose, and real strategies for building independence — one small step at a time.

Autism and Inclusion

Based on the work of Mayra Gaiato, one of Brazil's leading voices on neuroscience applied to autism, this microbook presents the Singular Model: a ten-step method that combines behavioral science with genuine emotional connection to support children on the autism spectrum or with developmental delays. From organizing the environment to managing meltdowns, it shows how to turn everyday interactions into real learning opportunities.

Singular brain

An autism spectrum disorder diagnosis changes everything — and the absence of solid information turns fear into paralysis. Dr. Gustavo Teixeira translates decades of neurodevelopmental expertise into a straightforward, jargon-free guide: from the historical roots of ASD and Wing's Triad to early warning signs, real causes, and evidence-based therapies. The focus is always practical — how to observe, how to act, and how to turn a diagnosis into the starting point for an autonomous, fulfilling life.

The autism handbook

A neuroscience-backed guide to understanding how the autistic brain learns, processes emotions, and builds memory — and how the right stimulation, environment, and individualized planning can unlock real growth in children with ASD.

Self-Help & Motivation

As its rather baroque subtitle suggests, “The Mental Toughness Handbook” is a step-by-step guide to building mental resilience and overcoming setbacks and obstacles. In addition to exploring the fundamentals of mental toughness and the crucial traits of mentally tough people, the book also offers a 10-step mental toughness training program and even a guide to maintaining mental toughness

The Mental Toughness Handbook

In “The Brain That Changes Itself” author, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge looks at new medical research on the functioning of the brain. For most of medical history it was believed that the brain was fixed, but it has now been proven that the brain continually changes itself. This has revealed new ways of dealing with stroke or anxiety patients and has even shown how blind people can regain their sight!

The Brain That Changes Itself

There are, arguably, few things more complex, incredible and mysterious than the human brain, that 3-pound spongy mass of fat and protein that has given birth to every thought and memory in the history of our planet. In “Keep Sharp,” Sanjay Gupta brings the latest from the field of neuroscience, debunking common myths about cognitive decline, and exploring the five pillars of brain health

Keep Sharp

In “Everybody Lies,” aspiring polymath Seth Stephens-Davidowitz harnesses the four powers of Big Data – while drawing on numerous relevant studies and experiments – to demonstrate the gulf between what we say we like and dislike and how we actually live and think about the world and our day-to-day affairs.

Everybody Lies

In “Descartes’ Error,” eminent Portuguese-American neuroscientist Antonio Damasio draws on the famous Phineas Gage affair and his personal experiences with neurological patients affected by brain damage to challenge traditional ideas about the relationship between emotions and rationality. Ultimately, he shows that, rather than being its deterrent, emotions are actually a fundamental part of rational thinking.

Descartes’ Error

Being able to get other people may sometimes seem like a superpower. In “Read People Like a Book,” Patrick King explains that it’s actually just another skill that can be learned and mastered. Throughout the book, he examines all the areas necessary for one to become a better people-reader, from motivation and body language to personality types and lie detection.

The best microbooks on Emotional Intelligence to make you overcome obstacles in your personal and professional life.

Emotional Intelligence

Daniel Goleman’s “Emotional Intelligence” summarizes research from a decade of studies and shows us why emotional intelligence (EI) is just as important for a successful life as our IQ. Contrary to the academic knowledge measured by the IQ, EI is multifaceted and has an impact on our work performance, our relationships, and our health.
Goleman argues for a shift in educational focus: he makes the case for educating our children in the art of emotional intelligence, to prevent the rise of mental health issues and crime rates.

In “Mindset,” world-renowned psychologist Carol S. Dweck proposes that there are two fundamental mindsets that people adapt: a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. By comparing and contrasting the two, she demonstrates why only one of them works – and how people can use this knowledge to improve and make the world a better place.
