Radar 12min

From Nash's game theory to the dopamine design of video games, this Radar traces the path that brought the concept of play into the classroom, explains the science behind the engagement games create, and evaluates, without romanticizing, what gamification actually solves in education and what it still can't replace.

YOUR BRAIN LOVES A GAME

See what science says about modern childhood education.

Parenting

Understanding the science behind your decision making and behavior is a great asset in the battle to a more fulfilled life.

Psychology

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.

Personal Development

Robert Sapolsky argues that every decision you have ever made was already determined by your neurons, hormones, genes, and history. This microbook dismantles the illusion of free will and shows why replacing blame with biology is the foundation of a more compassionate and effective way to live.

In “Jobs to Be Done,” innovation pioneer Tony Ulwick distills over 25 years of deep experience into the most thorough, structured, and actionable guide to applying the Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) theory. As the creator of Outcome-Driven Innovation (ODI), Ulwick doesn’t just explain the JTBD theory; he provides a full end-to-end system, that transforms it into a repeatable innovation process capable of driving predictable business success.

Taulli discusses core Artificial Intelligence (AI) principles such as machine learning, deep learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and robotics, making the subject approachable to a wide audience. Each chapter aims to build on previous ones, leading to an intuitive and comprehensive learning experience. In an era where AI affects almost every aspect of daily life and business, Taulli's work is a treasure trove for those looking to stay ahead of the quickly changing technological landscape.

Over the past millennia, Felis catus went through many changes to come to its current state and will continue to evolve. ‘’The Cat’s Meow’’ by an evolutionary biologist and cat lover, Jonathan Losos, is a comprehensive guide to those changes, hence, the past and the present of our beloved furry friend, as well as the look into how feline species might develop in the future.

History & Philosophy

When Charles Darwin published “On the Origin of Species,” he was honest enough to say that there was one disturbing thing his theory couldn’t explain – the absence of a rich fossil record predating the appearance of complex, shelly invertebrates at the beginning of the Cambrian period. In “Darwin’s Doubt,” Stephen Meyer digs deep into this mystery – and discovers God at the bottom.

Darwin's Doubt

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

“On the Origins of Species” is one of the best-substantiated theories about evolution by natural selection. Charles Darwin formulated his theory in 1859, describing the process by which every organism evolves as time passes. An Earth-shattering theory at the time, it opened the doors to a greater understanding of human biology and psychology.

On the Origins of Species

“The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat” is a collection of 24 case studies of people with neurological disorders. Split into four sections corresponding to the underlying nature of the disorders – “Losses,” “Excesses,” “Transports” and “The World of the Simple” – the case studies demonstrate the weird, wonderful, remarkable and bizarre consequences of the various ways our brains can malfunction.

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat

“The Great Influenza” by John M. Berry tells the terrifying and surprisingly little-known story of the 1918 flu pandemic, the deadliest in history. Erupting at the height of World War I in an army camp in Kansas, the pandemic killed 100 million people worldwide, five times as many as the war itself. Barry examines the reasons and the consequences, and shares the lessons (never) learned.

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.

Economics

Ian Ayres’s engrossing bestseller “Super Crunchers” tells the story of how analyzing data is changing how decisions are made. Briefly put, it examines the “power” of numbers. In this lively and groundbreaking book, Ayres explains how sorting through mass quantities of easily stored information can offer greater insight into human behavior for businesses, governments, and consumers.

Super Crunchers

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.

Named one of the best books of 2010 by numerous publications – and turned into a blockbuster HBO movie starring Oprah Winfrey in 2017– “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” tells the fascinating account of how a poor tobacco farmer of African American origin by the name of Henrietta Lacks died in relative obscurity to become the unlikely originator of HeLa, the first immortal cell line widely used in scientific research.

To quote bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert, “Breath” by immersive journalist James Nestor is “a fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe – and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” If there ever was a book that might make you hold your breath – and open your nostrils – well, this one is probably it.
