this is the recipe of life
said my mother
as she held me in her arms as i wept
think of those flowers you plant
in the garden each year
they will teach you
that people too
must wilt
fall
root
rise
in order to bloom

What lies within us that we don't even know about? How can we find our inner resources in life’s difficult situations? How can we get more out of ourselves, overcome our limitations, and reach our best potential? How can we represent ourselves, our own values and interests without ruining our relationships and respecting the other person’s values and interests as well? How can we serve each other's lives well? In this volume (which is a continuation of the previously published book Belső utakon), we seek answers to these questions, guided by great spiritual companions.
Eleven years ago, the Open Academy series was launched, which has since networked the entire country as the best-known Hungarian psychological lecture stream, and even extends beyond our borders. It creates opportunities for the audience to meet in person with the best Hungarian professionals and thinkers and to reflect with them on interesting psychological issues of everyday life.
In this omnibus edition, we have selected eleven particularly exciting lectures from the works of recent years. The book is divided into two major parts: in the first half we can start on the paths leading to ourselves under the leadership of Kitti Almási, Emőke Bagdy, Katalin Orosz, Péter Popper, Gábor Szendi and Ferenc Pál, in the second half we can step closer to each other with the help of Csaba Böjte, Jenő Ranschburg, Beata Bishop, F. Zsuzsa Várkonyi and Tamás Vekerdy. And the roads eventually meet...
P. Horváth Tamás: A Zsolnay - Egy dinasztia eredete
Recommendation by Krisztián Nyáry: Tamás P. Horváth wrote the third part of the history of the Zsolnay family, more precisely the first part. This time, the reader can hold in his hands the life novel of Vilmos Zsolnay, the founder of the dynasty. Addressed to the American, starting from a variety store, the young man with an alchemist reputation becomes a successful businessman before our eyes who takes risks, and meanwhile a rapidly developing industrial and cultural center of Transdanubia is born from the small medieval town. The fabulous, yet true story of the rise of the Zsolnays is intertwined with the fate of young men in love courting in lantern boats, Italian masters guarding the secrets of porcelain, Scottish ladies, vineyardists from Baranya, strict monks and elegant military officers. Cultural-historical and gastronomic journey by steamboat and mail coach, kadarka and sausage in the picnic basket. From the pages of the family novel, which has expanded into a trilogy, a love story also emerges: the author's unceasing passion for his hometown.
Omar Hatamleh - Tilesch György: BetweenBrains: Taking back our AI Future
AI is a present reality: we live at the threshold of an AI-dominated era. AI is more than a Technology wave. In the 21st century and beyond it is the very core source of power that fuels politics, business, and society: our minds, our work, and our homes. AI also rewrites the rules and forces us to lose no time in rethinking fundamental questions of our humanity. Our human brains will soon be required to adapt at hyper speed to a new paradigm of omnipresent machine intelligence.
We all have to deal with both its opportunities and threats in a conscious manner. Presently AI obscurity, hypotheticals, hype, and hysteria are aggravating problems of increasingly polarized and disconnected societies. However, whose image AI development will take and how the AI Age will be shaped is still in the hands of informed and clear-sighted citizens and leaders. The authors undertook the task of making sense of AI, especially its impact on the present and the near future for responsible readers worldwide.
