Letters to Momo
In September 2010, Alejandro Souza learned that Momo, his cousin and closest friend in the family, was suddenly imprisoned. Crushed by his imprisonment and desiring to infuse him with strength, resilience, and, above all, love, Souza made an unconditional commitment to write Momo one letter each day for as long as he was in jail. Letters to Momo is the true, remarkable story about the power to overcome told by the collection of all letters written to Momo during his 144 days in prison—intact and in their original state, exactly as he received them. Uniquely sincere and approachable, the letters’ contemplative style illuminates core truths about the human experience and invites all to eng...

Habit Stacking and some Tips to Improve Your Mind
The enormous library that the internet represents in our times has made people in favor of and against its effects in our habits, behavior, and even brain structure. The fact is that they will never agree if it is beneficial or not, as the individuals in the world are varied, as are their needs, habits, ideologies, and other aspects. In such a small nucleus, like a family, there can be discrepancies concerning said quandary. The truth is that it exists, and it is the main tool of our time. However, heads of households, teachers, and other similar people concerned over the moral good that this tool influences, have come to prohibit it in several places; this seems sad to me, as this tool cont...
Cooking and Coping Among the Cacti
Using data collected from 105 households in Sonora, Mexico, the author combines detailed ethnographic research with quantitative analyses of income, diet, and nutritional status to examine the dietary patterns of residents who "cook and cope among the cacti." Employing a new analytical concept of "available income" - which can differ greatly from total income and provide valuable insight into why people eat what they do - the work explores a variety of social and cultural factors that affect food expenditure and consumption. Home production of food and the extent to which women are employed outside of the home are just two of the many variables discussed that influence available income and how it is used. But even among groups with similar available incomes, variables of ethnicity, prestige, nutritional knowledge, and the desire for consumer goods come into play.

The Human Side of Innovation
PepsiCo's award-winning chief design officer reveals the secret to creating life-changing innovations: putting human needs at the center of any design process. Innovation is an act of love-or at least it should be. Always. It is a gesture of empathy, respect, generosity, of one human being's devotion to another, writes Mauro Porcini at the beginning of this extraordinary book. It is in part a memoir by one of the world's leading designers-the first chief design officer at both 3M and Pepsi. But even more, it is a manifesto for a genuine, authentic, and deeply humanistic approach to design, one that aims to create personal and social value first and financial and economic value afterward. In ...
