Completo e complexo, Hélio Pellegrino foi um psiquiatra, psicanalista, escritor, poeta e ativista político que deixou marca indelével em todos aqueles com quem conviveu. Embora publicada após sua morte, A burrice do demonio no e exatamente uma obra postuma, tendo sido organizada pelo proprio Helio antes de falecer, em março de 1988.Reunindo 59 textos publicados na grande imprensa carioca e paulista, sobretudo no Jornal do Brasil e na Folha de S.Paulo, esta coletanea surpreende pela capacidade de anteviso de Pellegrino, uma vez que os temas abordados continuam na ordem do dia, assim como seus comentarios sempre profundos, argutos e de irretorquivel lucidez.Longe de trazer uma nostalgica viso do Brasil de fins do seculo XX, este livro instiga reflexes ainda muito atuais acerca dos dilemas e dos paradoxos que convulsionam nosso pais neste novo milenio. E uma obra que para usar uma expresso cunhada pelo antropologo Roberto DaMatta nos ajuda a compreender "o que faz o Brasil, Brasil".

We assume that because something is digital, it lasts forever. Tech journalist Chris Vane reveals the shocking truth in "Error 404: History Not Found": we are currently living through a "Digital Dark Age." Vane estimates that over 80% of video games released before 2010 are critically endangered, harder to access legally than silent films from the 1920s.The book explores the technical and legal nightmare of game preservation. Unlike books or films, games rely on specific hardware and often on central servers that companies shut down when profitability dips. Vane details the heroics of emulation communities and "digital archivists" who operate in a legal grey zone to back up our cultural heritage.Vane argues that games are the defining art form of the 21st century and that losing them is a cultural tragedy. He discusses the concept of "Games as a Service" as the ultimate enemy of ownership and preservation. This book is a call to action for copyright reform and a tribute to the pirates who are actually the librarians of the future.

We assume that people who fall for Ponzi schemes are greedy or uneducated. Financial psychologist Simon Clark proves the opposite in "The Ponzi Paradox." From Charles Ponzi to Bernie Madoff and modern crypto-rug-pulls, victims are often doctors, lawyers, and experienced investors.Clark explores the psychology of "Affinity Fraud," where scammers exploit shared community ties (religious groups, country clubs) to bypass skepticism. He explains that intelligence actually makes people more vulnerable, as they are better at rationalizing red flags and believe they are too smart to be duped.The book dissects the anatomy of the con: the "Hook" (exclusive access), the "Line" (consistent, smooth returns), and the "Sinker" (social proof). Clark provides a "Skeptics Toolkit" to identify the structural impossibilities of these schemes. It is a chilling reminder that in the world of finance, if you dont know where the yield comes from, you are the yield.

Why are we obsessed with 80s music, rebooted movies, and "the good old days"? Psychologist Claire Dawson argues in "The Rearview Mirror" that nostalgia is not just a fuzzy feeling, but a powerful psychological survival mechanism. Dawson explains that when the present feels chaotic or unsafe (like during a pandemic or recession), the brain retreats to the past to find stability.The book explores "Restorative Nostalgia" (trying to rebuild the past) versus "Reflective Nostalgia" (accepting it is gone). Dawson analyzes how political campaigns and marketing departments weaponize this emotion to manipulate behavior.However, she also defends nostalgia as a tool against loneliness and existential dread. By understanding why we look back, we can use those memories to anchor ourselves without getting stuck in a time that never actually existed. A deep dive into the bittersweet emotion that defines our era.

A blue knife in Counter-Strike can sell for $1.5 million. A skin in Fortnite generates more revenue than a blockbuster movie. Tech writer Eric Chan explores the bizarre, booming world of virtual cosmetics in "Digital Couture."Chan argues that skins are not just "pixels"; they are the primary way we express identity in the digital spaces where we spend our lives. He traces the history from "Horse Armor" in Oblivion to the complex skin-gambling markets of today.The book analyzes the psychology of scarcity and the "flex." Why do players pay for items that give no competitive advantage? Chan draws parallels to the luxury fashion industry (Supreme, Gucci) and predicts that as we move toward the Metaverse, digital fashion designers will become as famous as Versace. A fascinating look at the economy of pure aesthetics.

We live in a world of abundance: thousands of movies to stream, hundreds of toothpaste brands, and infinite career paths. Psychologist Brandon Cole argues in "The Paralysis of Choice" that this freedom is actually a cage. Building on the work of Barry Schwartz, Cole explores the "Decision Fatigue" that plagues modern life, leading to anxiety, procrastination, and perpetual dissatisfaction.Cole distinguishes between "Maximizers" (who need the absolute best result) and "Satisficers" (who aim for "good enough"). He presents data showing that Maximizers, despite making objectively better choices, are subjectively more miserable because of the energy spent and the regret of "what if."The book offers a "Choice Diet": practical strategies to artificially limit options in daily life to preserve mental energy for what truly matters. From automating wardrobe choices to setting strict time limits on research, Cole teaches readers how to become "Satisficers" without settling for mediocrity. It is a guide to finding peace in a world designed to keep you second-guessing.

You got a raise, but you dont feel any richer. Why? Financial planner Julian Banks tackles the phenomenon of "Lifestyle Creep" in "The Golden Handcuffs." Banks explains the "Hedonic Treadmill"the psychological adaptation where we quickly get used to luxury, turning treats into necessities.The book illustrates how high-earners often live paycheck to paycheck because their spending rises in lockstep with their income. Banks discusses the social pressure of "keeping up with the Joneses" in the age of Instagram and the trap of upgrading cars and homes to match a new job title."The Golden Handcuffs" provides a framework for "Reverse Budgeting": saving the raise before it hits the checking account. It challenges readers to define their "Enough" number, arguing that true wealth is not the ability to buy more, but the freedom to need less.

This book explores the often-unexamined pressure to repair and reconnect quickly after conflictthe cultural assumption that healthy relationships require immediate resolution, apology, and return to closeness. It examines why repair advice can sometimes feel coercive or premature: the discomfort with ongoing tension, the guilt of needing space, the fear that distance means damage. The text reframes disconnection after arguments not as relational failure but as potentially necessarya pause that allows genuine processing rather than performed reconciliation.Rather than offering techniques to reconnect faster or repair more effectively, the book explores what happens when we give ourselves and others permission to remain disconnected until authentic readiness emerges. It examines the patterns that drive premature repair: fear of abandonment disguised as care, conflict-avoidance masked as relationship maintenance, the internalized belief that good partners resolve quickly. What does it mean when rushing to reconnect actually prevents real repair? When staying apart longer creates more authentic closeness than forced proximity?Through compassionate psychological insight, the text explores the difference between repair that serves the relationship versus repair that serves anxiety about the relationship. It examines what actually allows genuine reconnection versus what creates surface-level peace while leaving underlying ruptures unaddressed. This isnt about mastering conflict resolution or learning better repair scriptsits about understanding that sometimes the most respectful thing you can do after an argument is honor the need for continued distance without shame or urgency.

"Do what you love, and youll never work a day in your life." Career strategist David Crane argues that this popular mantra is a lie that leads to burnout and financial exploitation. In "The Passion Trap," Crane analyzes how the "Passion Economy" convinces workers to accept lower wages, longer hours, and poor treatment in exchange for "fulfillment."The book looks at industries fueled by passionNGOs, the arts, academia, and video gameswhere the line between hobby and labor is blurred to the employers advantage. Crane explains that when your work is your identity, professional rejection feels like personal failure, leading to a fragility that destroys mental health.Crane advocates for a "Work-to-Live" philosophy. He suggests detaching your sense of self from your employment and finding a job that is "good enough" to fund the things you actually love outside of the office. It is a controversial, liberating guide for anyone who is tired of monetizing their soul.
