COLLABORATIONS
Pope Francis’ words in Christus Vivit [223] are more than sufficient to justify the effort made to compose the text Listening to Beauty and recommend its reading. Through greater beauty, Orpheus’ song mesmerizes and conquers the sirens, catching them off guard in their own field, that of singing and beauty that attracts, seduces, and impassions.
We should “reverse the usual perspective of those who see exercise as a strategy to improve their physical appearance. In fact, moving is the best thing we can do for our brain. Aerobic activity such as biking and running ‘influences your concentration, memory, creativity, and stress resilience. It allows you to think faster and better manage mental resources.'”
“Train Always” includes a contribution by Marcello Corti.
