Mami,¡no quiero ser obeso!
by Alexandra OrozcoEn nuestros países hispanos poco utilizamos la palabra obesidad; tal vez porque no nos sentimos obesos o no vivimos de cerca el problema. Pero el tema se ha convertido en una preocupante realidad cuando las estadísticas demuestran los altos índices de niños hispanos con sobrepeso en Estados Unidos y empieza a sentirse en los países de habla hispana. Me preocupa pensarlo y me atemoriza cuando miro a mi alrededor y encuentro que esas estadísticas sí coinciden con la realidad. Hace poco por mi trabajo tuve que estar en varias reuniones sociales a las que fui invitada; con gran sorpresa encontré que había mujeres muy delgadas y muy bien arregladas comentando todo el tiempo sobre belleza, sobre lo último en cirugía plástica, dietas, etc. , mientras tanto sus hijos daban vueltas alrededor de las mesas donde servían la comida, sirviéndose postres y pasabocas sin parar, otros jugando videojuegos y algunos, muy pocos, jugando algún tipo de deporte. Y fijándome al detalle encontré que sus hijos en su mayoría eran gordos y algunos estaban obesos. ¡Déjenme decirles que esto me aterró! A partir de esos días empecé a observar de una manera más aguda este fenómeno y cada vez que iba a restaurantes, centros comerciales, o parques, veía lo mismo. Me pregunto, ¿por qué ellas sí pueden mantener un peso normal y sus hijos no? Sería interesante saber la respuesta. ¿O por qué aquellas que están pasadas de peso tienen hijos que siguen su modelo? La respuesta es muy sencilla: estamos enfrentados a una generación de "Padres Permisivos”. Así como la generación de "Padres Autoritarios” nos dejó el temor, pareciera ser que esta época estuviera creando niños débiles y confundidos. Una manera de demostrarles el amor a nuestros hijos y que ellos sientan que nos preocupamos por ellos es a través de su alimentación. ¿Por qué? Porque su cuerpo forma parte integral de la armonía que debe tener cualquier ser humano. Esta armonía está distribuida en Cuerpo, Mente y Alma. El cuerpo es como la estructura de un edificio o la forma de una escultura que tiene que sustentar su autonomía. El papel que desempeña la nutrición o la forma de alimentarnos diariamente en nuestra vida es muy importante. Un adecuado estilo de vida es la mejor prevención de las enfermedades en la edad adulta y proporciona una correcta salud en las etapas del crecimiento. Debemos comprender y enseñarles a nuestros hijos que "Somos lo que Comemos”. .

Man Alive: Transforming Your Seven Primal Needs into a Powerful Spiritual Life
by Patrick MorleyYou Don't Have to Settle Over the last four decades, I've met one-on-one with thousands of men. Most of them know that Jesus promised "a rich and satisfying life" (John 10:10), but too many are confused about what that looks like. In fact, I'd estimate that 90 percent of Christian men lead lukewarm, stagnant, defeated lives--and they hate it. When men try to put into words what's holding them back, they invariably describe one or more of these seven symptoms: * "I just feel like I'm in this thing alone." * "I don't feel like God cares about me personally--not really." * "I don't feel like my life has a purpose. In fact, it seems random." * "I have destructive behaviors that keep dragging me down." * "My soul feels dry." * "My most important relationships are not working." * "I don't feel like I'm doing anything that will make a lasting difference." Do you see yourself in these statements? In my experience, these inner aches and pains correspond to seven primal God-given needs that all men feel deeply. And in Man Alive, I'll show you something surprising--God's plan to harness that raw, restless energy you feel, pull you out of mediocrity, and propel you toward the life you were meant to live. I promise you...there is a way. No man should have to settle for half alive. You can become the man God created you to be. You can experience a powerful life transformed by Christ. In this book, I'll show you how. Patrick Morley, PhD.

Man Enough \ Lo suficientemente hombre (Spanish edition): Cómo desdefiní mi masculinidad
by Justin Baldoni«Ser "lo suficientemente hombre" es mirar hacia nuestro interior, entender y redefinir la masculinidad para así crecer como seres humanos.» —Jaime CamilLas consecuencias de la masculinidad tradicional nos afectan en todas las áreas de nuestras vidas. No sólo las sufren las mujeres, sino también nuestros amigos, familiares, compañeros y, sobre todo, nosotros mismos.También han afectado a Justin Baldoni, que ha decidido explorar algunas de las facetas más importantes de la experiencia masculina —el valor, el éxito, la raza, la sexualidad, las relaciones o la paternidad— para entender cómo la concepción social de «ser un hombre» nos hace daño y limita. Sus reflexiones y vivencias abren un debate en el que podemos descubrir y curar nuestras heridas más profundas para, por fin, decidir libremente qué clase de hombre queremos ser.Este es un testimonio íntimo que nos invita a explorar nuestra propia vulnerabilidad, a emprender nuestro propio viaje entre nuestra cabeza y nuestro corazón. Estas páginas son el camino en el que recordarás que eres suficiente tal como eres.«"Lo suficientemente hombre" puede ser el primer gran paso de tu sanación y, con ella, la del resto de hombres, mujeres y niños en tu vida.» —Eugenio Derbez Justin Baldoni es actor, director, fundador de Wayfarer Studios y de Wayfarer Foundation y, ante todo, un devoto bahá'í. Además de su conocido papel coprotagonista en la serie Jane the Virgin, Justin ha pasado la última década explorando, entendiendo y cambiando lo que significa ser un hombre. Esto le llevó a impartir su famosa charla TED, producir el programa Man Enough y, ahora, a escribir este libro.
Man Enough: How Jesus Redefines Manhood
by Nate PyleMan Enough challenges the idea that there is one way to be a man. The masculinity that pervades our church and culture often demands that men conform to a macho ideal, leaving many men feeling ashamed that they&’re not living up to God&’s plan for them. Nate uses his own story of not feeling &“man enough&”, as well as sociological and historical reflections, to help men see that manhood isn&’t about what you do, but who you are. It&’s not about the size of your paycheck, your athletic ability, or your competitive spirit. You don&’t have to fit any masculine stereotype to be a real man.In our culture and churches more thoughtful, quieter, or compassionate personalities, as well as stay-at-home dads, are often looked down upon; and sermons, conferences, and publications center on helping men become &“real men&”. This pressure to have one&’s manhood validated is antithetical to Gospel living and negatively affects how men relate to each other, to women and children, and to God.Man Enough roots men in the Gospel, examines biblical examples of masculinity that challenge the idea of a singular type of man, and ultimately encourages men to conform to the image of Jesus—freeing men up to be who they were created to be: a son of God who uniquely bears His image.
Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity
by Justin BaldoniA GRIPPING, FEARLESS EXPLORATION OF MASCULINITY The effects of traditionally defined masculinity have become one of the most prevalent social issues of our time. In this engaging and provocative new book, beloved actor, director, and social activist Justin Baldoni reflects on his own struggles with masculinity. With insight and honesty, he explores a range of difficult, sometimes uncomfortable topics including strength and vulnerability, relationships and marriage, body image, sex and sexuality, racial justice, gender equality, and fatherhood. Writing from experience, Justin invites us to move beyond the scripts we’ve learned since childhood and the roles we are expected to play. He challenges men to be brave enough to be vulnerable, to be strong enough to be sensitive, to be confident enough to listen. Encouraging men to dig deep within themselves, Justin helps us reimagine what it means to be man enough and in the process what it means to be human.
Man Fast: How one woman's dating detox turned into a spiritual reckoning across four continents
by Natasha Scripture'Smart, funny, and deeply wise' Mirabai Starr'A funny, courageous, and inspiring memoir about one woman's journey into the unknown' Elisabeth Eaves, author of Wanderlust: A Love Affair with Five ContinentsAny cute boys? Natasha Scripture's 64-year-old Indian mother wants to know. Once again, Natasha finds herself explaining that it is not easy to find a husband while serving as a relief worker in refugee camps, war zones and natural disaster areas.Yet returning to New York, still reeling from the sudden death of her father, Natasha realizes that no matter how many dates she goes on, she is no closer to finding that special someone to fill the imaginary void inside her. Exasperated by her search for love, she embarks on a 'man fast', where she stops looking for a relationship and instead turns inward to explore the question at the heart of her anxiety: what is her purpose? This soul-searching takes her deep into the wilderness: from meditating in an Ayurvedic ashram in southern India to toiling on a vineyard on Mount Etna to going on a solo-safari in southern Tanzania (where she also marries herself-yes, it's a thing). In stepping away from the demands of modern life and societal pressure to couple up, Natasha finds a space where she allows herself to become fully present and awake: to her grief, to her identity, and to love as a mystical, ever-present force. This is a book to inspire readers who also want to discover their truest, wildest, most empowered selves.
Man In Hole: Love, Lies, Addiction, and Butting Porcupines
by Doug DoddThe author's love affair with drugs began the summer of 1967 with marijuana. Three years later he was on the run from the police. His life became a downward spiral of lies, betrayal and denial as he ran from Missoula, Montana, to Portland, Oregon, and finally, in 1995, to Yakima, Washington. There, at fifty years old, he found himself living on the streets, addicted to crack cocaine, hopeless, helpless and useless. Clearly his ‘geographical cures' were not working. When he fled north to Alaska in January of 2001, only a fool would have expected what followed.
Man Kind: Tools for Mental Health, Well-Being, and Modernizing Masculinity (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)
by Zachary GerdesA ground-breaking guide that provides men with tools to improve their mental health and well-being.Masculinity requires a redesign.

Man Up
by Carlos Andres GomezInspired by the award-winning poet and actor’s acclaimed one-man play, a powerful coming-of-age memoir that reimagines masculinity for the twenty-first-century male. Award-winning poet, actor, and writer Carlos Andrés Gómez is a supremely gifted storyteller with a captivating voice whose power resonates equally on the live stage and on the page. In one of his most moving spoken-word poems, Gómez recounts a confrontation he once had after accidentally bumping into another man at a club. Just as they were about to fight, Gómez experienced an unexplainable surge of emotion that made his eyes well up with tears. Everyone at the scene jumped back, as if crying, or showing vulnerability, was the most insane thing that Gómez could possibly have done. Like many men in our society, Gómez grew up believing that he had to be ready to fight at all times, treat women as objects, and close off his emotional self. It wasn’t until he discovered acting that he began to see the true cost of squelching one’s emotions-and how aggression dominates everything that young males are taught. Statistics on graduation rates, employment, and teen and young-adult suicide make it clear that the young males in our society are at a crisis point, but Gómez seeks to reverse these ominous trends by sharing the lessons that he has learned. Like Hill Harper’s Letters to a Young Brother, Man Up will be an agent for positive change, galvanizing men-but also mothers, girlfriends, wives, and sisters-to rethink and reimagine the way all men interact with women, deal with violence, handle fear, and express emotion. .

Man on the Run
by PipherDo you have a hyper-hobbied man in your life? Maybe you are a hyper-hobbied man. Hobbies and adventurous pursuits are good for the soul, says author Zeke Pipher. In fact, the human spirit was designed for challenge, stimulation, even risk. So why a book about hyper-hobbied men? Because too much of a good thing can pull men away from the even more important things--like family, friends, and church. But there is another way. Men are capable of living with passion and zeal while at the same time remaining balanced and faithful to their most important relationships and priorities. They can learn to run hard and run well, while running after the right things. To do this, men need the help and support of their wives, children, friends, and greater community. If these basics are in place, watch out. Everyone wins when men are on the run. Passionate, pursuit-driven men can make great husbands, fathers, friends, and colleagues precisely because of their tenacious tendencies. Yet the qualities that make men pursue adventure above all else can wreck their lives; overzealous men end up losing out on the best things in life. How to have the best of both worlds is what this book is all about.

He expands upon his groundbreaking ideas and searches for answers about life, death, faith and suffering. Believing that there is much more to our existence than meets the eye, he says: 'No one will be able to make us believe that man is a sublimated animal once we can show that within him there is a repressed angel.'In Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning, Frankl explores our sometimes unconscious desire for inspiration or revelation. He explains how we can create meaning for ourselves and, ultimately, he reveals how life has more to offer us than we could ever imagine.
Man: King of Mind, Body, and Circumstance
by James AllenThe problem of life consists in learning how to live. It is like the problem of addition or subtraction to the schoolboy. When mastered, all difficulty disappears, and the problem has vanished. All the problems of life, whether they be social, political, or religious, subsist in ignorance and wrong-living. As they are solved in the heart of each individual, they will be solved in the mass of men.
