by Marcela Gutiérrez Bravo The BlokeheadEl Trastorno por Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad (TDAH) Siempre se ha asociado a problemas de desarrollo infantil. Sin embargo, en los Estados Unidos, simplemente, WebMD afirma que hay alrededor de 8 millones de adultos con este problema y algunos de ellos aún siguen sin ser diagnosticados y, por ende, sin tratar. La sintomatología del TDAH Adulto puede haber comenzado en la infancia. Alrededor de 60% de niños con TDAH llevan los síntomas hasta la edad adulta. Sin embargo, en algunos casos, los síntomas solamente se manifiestan durante la adultez y no tan prominente como durante la niñez. O puede ser que los síntomas nunca fueron diagnosticados durante la infancia.

Te deseo la sonrisa: Para recuperar la alegría
by Papa FranciscoEn estas páginas, el Papa Francisco aborda uno de los temas más importantes de su mensaje: la alegría.Porque la verdadera dicha proviene de una esperanza que nada ni nadie puede arrebatarnos. «Sonreír es acariciar con el corazón». La alegría es un tema central de las enseñanzas del Papa Francisco, aún más necesario en estos tiempos que corren. En unas páginas que son un mensaje para todos los hombres y mujeres del mundo, el pontífice afirma que Dios es dicha y la misericordia es la manifestación más profunda de la felicidad de Dios y el núcleo del mensaje cristiano. Las palabras del Papa Francisco son una invitación a abrazar la verdadera belleza; a abrirse, encontrarse y compartir; a cambiar actitudes personales y sociales que fomentan la exclusión; a desenmascarar el descontento que se produce cuando nos encerramos en nosotros mismos; y a afrontar la vida con valentía y confianza, sin dejarse vencer por la tristeza y el pesimismo. Los ocho capítulos de este libro abarcan el tema de la felicidad de manera humana y profunda, conscientes de que la verdadera alegría no es un sentimiento efímero ni ilusorio ni un antídoto para quienes ignoran el sufrimiento: proviene de una esperanza concreta, que nada ni nadie nos podrá arrebatar. Es una alegría que tiene la última palabra, siempre. Y el deseo de compartir una sonrisa es el primer pequeño gran paso para vivirla, para renovarnos, para renacer.
Te mereces ser feliz: Aprende a construir tu felicidad en 12 semanas
by Isabel Pinillos Antonio FusterNo hay ningún libro, por mágico que sea, que pueda cambiar la vida de nadie. Éste tampoco.

Para ello, cuentan con la ayuda de algunos ejemplos y las explicaciones posteriores que nos ofrece la psicología moderna.En este programa de 12 semanas, aprenderás sobre conducta (por el poder que tiene para sacar adelante numerosas facetas del ser humano), sobre el propio cuerpo (repleto de recursos útiles y utilizables), sobre tus emociones (como reacciones psicofisiológicas que te ayudan a la adaptación a ciertos estímulos); sobre pensamientos (con los que te obsequia tu mente, sobre habilidades (para hacer y deshacer entuertos), sobre relaciones (que puedes mantener y que juegan un papel esencial en tu crecimiento como ser humano), y finalmente sobre el desarrollo personal (que no es otra cosa que la respuesta que debes dar al hecho de ser una persona, de estar vivo).Vivir felizmente no es tan difícil como nos puede parecer, solo se necesitan 10 minutos al día y nuestro compromiso.

Te voy a contar una historia: La mía y la de mi hijo, cuando fue atrapado por las drogas
by Martha Alicia ChávezUna impactante historia personal sobre la lucha de una madre por vencer su codependencia y desarrollar la fortaleza necesaria para liberar a su hijo de las drogas. Te voy a contar una historia, que me pide ser contada. Una historia verdadera sobre drogas, sufrimiento y redención. Sobre el infierno y el cielo; sobre el tormento y la culpa; sobre la fe y los milagros; sobre el poder del amor. Una historia en la que el "¿por qué a mí?" se convirtió en "Gracias porque a mí". Un gracias que te puede parecer absurdo si no ves más allá, si no ves con los ojos del alma que encuentra en todo un para qué. El protagonista es mi hijo Francisco (Paco). Él me ha dado su permiso para contarte su historia, que es también la mía y se parece a la de millones. Las historias superadas ameritan ser contadas, porque pueden servir a otros. Hay cosas que tienen que suceder; que están escritas así para que abran, para que empujen, para que hagan crecer. Las piezas y los actores se van poco a poco entrelazando, a veces durante años, para que suceda eso que ya es.

Teach Only Love: The Twelve Principles of Attitudinal Healing
by Gerald G. JampolskyDr. Jampolsky believes there is another way of looking at life that makes it possible for us to walk through this world in love, at peace and without fear. This other way requires no external battles, but only that we heal ourselves. It is a process he calls “attitudinal healing,” because it is an internal and primarily mental process. Jampolsky believes that attitudinal healing, when properly practiced, will allow anyone, regardless of her circumstances, to begin experiencing the joy and harmony that each moment holds, and to start her journey on a path of love and hope.The mind can be retrained. Within this fact lies our freedom. Our attitudes determine whether we experience peace or fear, whether we are well or sick, free or imprisoned. Love, in its true meaning, is the attitude that this book is about. Love is total acceptance and total giving—with no boundaries and no exceptions. Love, being the only reality, cannot be transformed. It can only extend and expand. It unfolds endlessly and beautifully upon itself. Love sees everyone as blameless, for it recognizes the light within each one of us is. Love is the total absence of fear and the basis for all attitudinal healing.The principles of attitudinal healing have been expanded since Teach Only Love was first published in 1983. There are now twelve principles, which are used in the 150 Centers for Attitudinal Healing around the world. Dr. Jampolsky believes that these principles have a universal appeal that crosses cultural and religious barriers. He has repeatedly seen how people’s lives have transformed when these principles became their heartbeat and their way of communicating with others.
Teach Only Love: The Twelve Principles of Attitudinal Healing
by Gerald G. JampolskyIn 1975, Jerry Jampolsky cofounded the Center for Attitudinal Healing in Tiburon, California, where people with life-threatening illnesses practice peace of mind as an instrument of transformation. Based on the healing power of love and forgiveness, the 12 principles developed at the center, and explained in this book, embrace the idea that total giving and total acceptance are crucial to the healing process and that attitudinal healing can lead to harmony, joy, and life without fear.
Teach Us to Pray
by Gordon T. SmithOne of the most basic and vital dimensions of the Christian life is the practice of prayer. Frequently our prayers begin with a petition or request, so the content of our prayers is informed by our circumstances. But what if the opposite were true? What if we allowed our prayers to inform our lives? What would our lives be like if prayer altered our living and began to shape the contours and content of our daily experiences? Gordon Smith invites us to learn three movements of prayer—thanksgiving, confession, and discernment—in order to be formed and transformed by prayers that seek God's kingdom "on earth as it is in heaven." Whether you are a beginner in the life of prayer or further along, this small book is a resource for deepening your prayer practice.

Teach Yourself Digital Home Movie Making
by Peter Cope'Digital' is a term that is bandied around often by marketeers who see it as a synonym for 'cutting edge' and it now appears in almost every walk of life: digital radio, digital phones, digital cameras. Digital, in its most common, if clinical, meaning describes the way in which real world information -- such as sound, colour and light -- are converted into numeric form. When we talk about digital video the key distinguishing feature is its quality. A digital video signal -- such as that produced by a sensor in a digital camera -- doesn't suffer degradation in the same way as an analogue signal. A single frame of video will be more sharply defined than that from an equivalent analogue camera. Digital video really comes into its own when we start thinking about editing. The book teaches you everything related to Digital Home Movie Making.
