From Portuguese authors, this book brings hope for the primacy of virtuous actions in the business, political and financial world. Anyone with leadership activities can be inspired by reading these well-written pages, in order to contribute to a decent and dignified work of the community they manage. Relying on big scandals and bankruptcies of real life, we readily conclude that the risks of corrupt or unworthy practices are far greater than those of honest, respectful, humble, humane, just, and therefore healthy work.

Conflitos existenciais (Portuguese) (existential conflicts)

Divaldo Pereira Franco writes this book by psychographing the Spirit Joanna de Ângelis. Without any dogmatic positions on my part, this book seemed to me very interesting in that it analyzes in depth various psychological disorders. It is very well written, with a careful language, in Brazilian Portuguese. I think it is a good book for understanding many conflicting feelings and disorders of the human being, such as laziness, anger, fear and anxiety, resentment, guilt, jealousy, violence, abuse of drugs and alcohol, stress and existential emptiness. It also addresses noble feelings such as courage and love and ends with the Spiritist conception of death. As you can never know too much, I recommend reading these «existential conflicts» from this fascinating point of view.
