Bell’ e Buono: The Recipe of a Life Lived Through Food

 

Bell’ e Buono:

The Recipe of a Life Lived Through Food

Embark on an extraordinary culinary journey with Carlo De Filippo, where the art of cuisine and the beauty of life converge in perfect harmony. "Bell’ e Buono," a Neapolitan expression meaning "beautiful and good," encapsulates the essence of Carlo’s philosophy—where every dish is a masterpiece, both in taste and presentation. But in true Neapolitan fashion, it also signifies something unexpected and wonderful, much like the surprises life often brings.

From the picturesque lemon groves of the Amalfi Coast to the bustling kitchens of luxury hotels, Carlo De Filippo’s journey is one of passion, perseverance, and an unyielding love for food. In January 2001, Carlo planted his roots on the Amalfi Coast, building his dream from the ground up. Nearly two decades later, alongside his strong and supportive wife Mariantonia and their two daughters, Carlo has turned Pineta 1903 into a culinary haven.

This book is not just a collection of recipes; it's a narrative of discovery and triumph. Carlo, who humbly describes himself as a “man without talent,” found his true calling in the kitchen, transforming his life and the lives of those around him. "BELL’ E BUONO" invites you into his world, sharing traditional recipes from the ancient cuisine of the Amalfi Coast, including the secret Pesto Amalfitano and the delightful Fogliolino liqueur made from lemon leaves.

Whether you're a seasoned chef or a home cook, these recipes will bring a touch of the Amalfi Coast to your kitchen, allowing you to replicate the magic of Carlo’s culinary creations. 

Join Carlo De Filippo in celebrating the recipe of a life lived through food—beautiful, good, and unexpectedly wonderful.

FORCES OF LIFE: PSYCHOLOGY: WHAT CREATES SUCCESS OR FAILURE IN OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN

 

FORCES OF LIFE: PSYCHOLOGY:

WHAT CREATES SUCCESS OR FAILURE IN OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN

Psychology, Counseling, and Education are at a “tipping point” on the edge of an active volcano. 

In America the suicide rate has gone up from 25,000 a year in the 1970s to 48,000 today, before the isolation of the Covid pandemic; even though we have six times more psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors today, and despite having 400% more psychoactive medication. We now have police in every school, something unheard of in the 1970s. The suicide rate among our young ages 10 to 34 has jumped to their second leading cause of death, second only to accidents (CDC). https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/index.html
Where did we go wrong? Why have psychology and psychiatry failed us so badly?
We are a nation of very unhappy people. Why?
For thousands of years, our doctors opened people’s veins and bled them to make them well. For decades doctors refused to believe the “germ” theory of disease; that tiny, microscopic organism could kill a big adult. Only after they repeatedly ran slam into reality, were they forced to change.
Psychology, education, and psychiatry today have run slam into reality. We are at that same tipping point. The ideas we learned from our textbooks do not deal with the serious issues of life. What makes for success? How can we deal with the problems of life? 
Yet, the press ignores this, not sensational enough to compete with the magical-mystical words like “DNA” or “magic pills” and ignored by our educational system who should be teaching how simple experiences in life become the forces that determine our life. 
So, what does work?
I am happy to announce that "Forces of Life", 345 pages, is now available on Amazon to cover the most important ways to prevent problems in our lives. You can find it by searching for the book ID: https://www.amazon.com/dp/173600252X

"Forces of Life" delves into the intricacies of mental health, offering profound insights and practical guidance to empower your journey towards emotional well-being. Through engaging narratives and transformative examples, this book provides a roadmap for navigating life's challenges and fostering resilience, and what leads to success in ourselves and our children.

Discover how "Forces of Life" can enrich your understanding of mental health and inspire positive change in your life, and lead to a form of Preventive Psychology that can be more effective than waiting until the problems suddenly confront us to do therapy.
