"Perché il buddhismo fa bene" combina psicologia, filosofia, mindfulness, scienza ed esperienza personale. Attraverso un'analisi semplice e profonda l'autore rende accessibili a tutti concetti vertiginosi quali il vuoto o il non-sé e ci spiega come il Buddha abbia descritto migliaia di anni fa aspetti della realtà che gli scienziati stanno scoprendo solo ora. In questo viaggio, insieme contemplativo e pragmatico, un ruolo cruciale ha la meditazione, che consente di osservare con distacco pensieri ed emozioni, rendendo permeabili i confini tra sé e non-sé (il mondo, gli altri). Dimostrando l'illusorietà della realtà e del sé, insegnandoci ad abbandonare il desiderio e quindi il dolore, il buddhismo svela una visione del mondo che ci salverà, come individui e come specie.

Robert Cray has been bridging the lines between blues, soul and R&B for the past four decades, with five Grammy wins and over 20 acclaimed albums. For his latest project, Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm, the Blues Hall of Famer traveled to Memphis with his friend, renowned Grammy Award winning producer Steve Jordan, to make a classic soul album with Hi Rhythm, the band that helped create that sound.

A cultural icon who defined the twentieth-century American landscape, Frank Lloyd Wright has been studied from what seems to be every possible angle.

Betty’s 1974 album "Danger High Voltage" is considered to be amongst her best. It contains her two UK Top 30 chart hits the Grammy winning Disco hit "Where Is The Love" and "Shoorah! Shoorah!" which featured in the film "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". It also includes the original version of the often sampled "Tonight's The Night" one of her best known tracks, a mid tempo Rare Groove classic, which was apparently inspired by her first sexual experiences. She would re-record the track on the "Betty Wright Live" album, which featured her now famous "Rap". Betty’s diverse range of material is illustrated by the great beat ballad "That's When I’ll Stop Loving You" and the more typically Brassy TK "Don't Thank Me Baby, Thank Yourself". This CD version of the album is enhanced by the inclusion of five non album 45 sides.
