Sinopsis
In Contemplation, Jared Henderson provides us with a toolkit of strategies for creating a life of intellectual curiosity in a world of constant distractions.
For the ancient philosophers, a life worth living was a life spent in contemplation of higher ideas that challenged the intellect and nourished the spirit. Our modern world, in contrast, rewards pointless busyness with endless consumption and entertainment. What is lost when we abandon the contemplative life? Everything, argues Jared Henderson.
Part practical guide, part philosophical treatise, Contemplation offers a path to the life of the mind in our frantic 21st century. But you need not join a monastery or go off into the desert to nurture a rich interior life: anyone can do it with just two hours a day. Henderson’s program draws on examples from Aristotle, Montaigne, Hannah Arendt, Byung-chul Han, C.S. Lewis and more to teach readers to follow a line of inquiry, to read deeply and write with intention, and to create a community that will support you in your intellectual endeavors.
Contemplation is necessary for the cultivation of wonder, curiosity and joy. Like many great thinkers before you, you can find deep respite and fulfillment in the life of the mind. With a little discipline and the guidance in this book, the philosophical life is open to everyone.

La Humanidad en crisis
La Supraconciencia es la oportunidad para el cambio
Una invitación a plantearnos la vida que llevamos.
¿Por qué cuando aparentemente tenemos tanto nos sentimos tan vacíos? ¿Qué nos lleva a la soledad justamente cuando vivimos en un mundo hiperconectado? ¿Qué pasa cuando crecemos sin valores espirituales? ¿Por qué el suicidio es la causa número uno de muerte entre los jóvenes? Vivimos más años que nunca, pero cada vez más personas —especialmente jóvenes— sienten que la vida carece de sentido.
