This is personal.
Our Vice President, Flávia Ceccato, wrote a book called “Discovering Existential Intelligence: Tools, Insights and Implications.” It’s a work born from real life — from loss, from crisis, from the kind of deep questioning that hits you at 3 a.m. when the world feels too big and too fragile at the same time.
That book has now been nominated for the Ebobea Book Awards. Only 30 authors worldwide were selected, each representing their country. Flávia carries the flag of Brazil 🇧🇷 in this international competition.
What Her Book Is About
Existential intelligence — to put it simply — is our ability to sit with life’s hardest questions. Why are we here? What gives life meaning? How do we face suffering and still choose to grow? Flávia didn’t just write about these ideas. She built practical tools to measure them, grounded in science and shaped by her own experience as a physicist, architect, and member of high-IQ societies like Mensa.
I’ve known Flávia’s work closely. It’s the kind of writing that doesn’t let you stay comfortable — and that’s exactly why it matters.
Here’s Where You Come In
The winner is decided entirely by public voting. No secret jury. No backroom deals. Just people like you clicking a button because a book moved them.
If Flávia’s work has ever sparked something in you — a thought, a question, a moment of clarity — now’s the time to return that gift.
It takes seconds. It means everything.
Why I’m Asking
I don’t ask for things lightly. But I believe in this book, I believe in Flávia, and I believe in what our community can do when we move together. At FreeAstroScience, we’ve always said that science and culture aren’t separate worlds — they’re the same conversation. Flávia’s nomination proves it.
Every vote counts. Share this with someone who cares about big questions and bigger answers.
Together, we can win. ✨
