Alessia Siligardi contributes with a text she wrote last April, in full pandemic, in which she explains how she is pursuing the balance inspired by the Third Paradise in her daily life. A process that applies to every aspect: from her choice of food and water to clothes, from the products she uses for her personal and domestic hygiene to the type of toys she buys for her son. Here is how this episode’s guest is bringing sustainability into her own life. “I think,” she said, “that balance is the result of carefully recapturing the past combining it with present and future innovations”.

31/07/2020 The Art of Balance #50 | Daniel Tarozzi, what dreams will you dream? The director of our Journal is the 50th participant in the initiative “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy”, launched by Cittadellarte. In his contribution, Daniel Tarozzi motivates the readers to always believe in their dreams, stressing how the key to achieve them doesn’t lie in the “if” but in the “how” to do it. This episode’s guest also explains how Italy is full of subjects and projects striving to concretely change the world, in spite of the obstacles and the distorted scenario of our country that the mass media usually depict. “We have to draw attention to stories of change and stop reinforcing a decadent scenario, reporting problems but also talking with the same vehemence about who proposes and activates solutions”. Daniel also identifies ways to provide young people with the drive to follow a virtuous path starting from education: “We must study to enhance ourselves, our spirituality and our awareness. Work is a means to live well and satisfy our primary needs, not an end on which to build our identity”. IL 31/07/2020 Leggi di più
