Solo Un Poco – Volúmen Diez
by D. S. PaisNo cuento con esa información, al parecer, en este caso, todo lo que tengo es una sección de un libro más grande o una sección de lo que probablemente será un libro más grande, por lo pronto espero se revisada la presente traducción, ya que, lo correspondiente a mi traducción se ha llevado a cabo de forma puntual y completa. Al parecer la entrega del presente trabajo fue calificada como retrasada, a lo cual, hago mención que creo se debió a que el autor tardó demasiado en notificarme si las primeras 10 páginas serían aceptadas o no, por lo que estaré atento a lo que surja.

Solo: Building a Remarkable Life of Your Own
by Peter McGraw"Brilliant and provocative, Solo transcends the loneliness narrative surrounding single life. It's not just about being OK with being alone; it's about the incredible freedom and endless opportunities that come with it. McGraw combines science and wisdom to unlock the secrets that Solos have always known: life is richer when you are the hero of your own story." —Kristin Newman, author of What I was Doing While You Were Breeding Join the movement that celebrates single living with Peter McGraw’s groundbreaking book, Solo.Amid the complexities of modern relationships, loneliness epidemics, and online dating burnout, there’s a refreshing alternative: going Solo. “Solos,” as coined by behavioral economist Peter McGraw, are people who choose to lead their lives authentically, purposefully, and passionately outside the confines of traditional relationship labels. In a world built for two, Solos break the rules and hold space for every type of individual—single and not. Meet the thriving “Just Mays,” who welcome romance if it comes their way, the determined “No Ways,” who prefer life unpartnered, and the bold “New Ways,” who redefine and redesign what relationships even mean. Which one are you?In contrast with the “Someday” singles who hang personal fulfilment on the success of a “serious” long-term relationship, McGraw reveals the secrets of happiness that Solos have already unlocked, offering readers a roadmap to reinventing sex, dating, romance, and beyond. Backed by scientific insights and McGraw’s experience as a lifelong bachelor, Solo offers a blueprint for cultivating fulfilling relationships and creating a rich, remarkable life. Solo is your invitation to pursue a life uniquely your own.

Soloing: Realizing Your Life's Ambition
by Harriet RubinSoloing has two meanings: "going it alone" and being "complete in yourself." . . . But you don't just leave--a company/a career/a paycheck--and cross over to a more satisfying life. There's more to it. There is a mysterious passage to be negotiated, a delicate transition required to go from alone-in-the-desert to complete-in-yourself.Harriet Rubin, bestselling author of The Princessa: Machiavelli for Women, returns with inspiring advice for professionals dreaming of crossing over from a corporate world of prescribed boundaries to the limitless opportunities of soloing. She describes how people can do great things--things they would never be able to accomplish inside the corporate structure--when they manage or lead no one.As one successfully navigates the passage toward a truer sense of self that Rubin describes, four invaluable freedoms await:The first freedom is regaining your sense of identity.Walk out of any big company and who are you, stripped of that mighty identity? Potentially bigger and better than before. Who were you before the corporate you? To get back one's sense of self is why people go solo.The second freedom is independence.Why is working alone so important in doing great work, given that it's also the scariest part? Imagine having complete command and control over your time and the work you do. This is how soloists realize their great strengths: They are reduced to themselves.The third freedom is income.You can earn in one year what you earned in two before. Do you work harder to do this? Yes. Do you enjoy it more? Yes. Solo money is alive. Unlike a salary doled out like an allowance from parents, the money earned by soloing is a true emblem of a person's worth.The fourth freedom is illumination.A professional builds a career, but a soloist builds a portfolio and a life free of boredom, full of challenge. Direct contact with work itself is direct contact with life.With insights as diverse as Henry David Thoreau's "I want to be sure the world doesn't change," and Michael Jordan's response to the statement: "There's no 'I' in team,"--"That's right, but there is an 'I' in win,"--Rubin gives readers the chance to bring their dreams into alignment with reality.

Solteros señalados: cómo son estereotipados, estigmatizados e ignorados y aún son felices
by Bella DePauloSolteros señalados estableció a Bella DePaulo como la "principal intelectual y escritora de Estados Unidos sobre la experiencia de ser soltero". Utiliza la investigación científica, la cultura popular, y las experiencias de personas solteras para revelar las historias de éxito jamás contadas de personas solteras. Sí, es cierto que los solteros son estereotipados y estigmatizados. Pero no son víctimas. La autora, quien posee un doctorado en Harvard, observa los estudios sobre los solteros y descubre que los estereotipos, como por ejemplo, que son infelices, solitarios y egoístas, son sólo mitos. Solteros señalados incluye capítulos sobre mujeres, hombres, padres y ancianos solteros. También hay capítulos en los que se desacreditan varios mitos sobre ellos. En la introducción, DePaulo describe el lugar importante del soltero en la sociedad contemporánea. Casi la mitad de los estadounidenses adultos no están casados (son divorciados, viudos o siempre han sido solteros) y la edad en la que la gente se casa (entre los que lo hacen) ha estado aumentando casi cada año. Solteros señalados ha sido analizado en los periódicos y revistas más prestigiosos de los Estados Unidos y alrededor del mundo. Bella DePaulo ha aparecido en televisión nacional e internacional y en programas de radio. (Para ver su biografía y la sección de medios, entre a este link http://belladepaulo.com/singles-research-and-writing/#5.) Los capítulos de Solteros señalados a menudo son asignados en los cursos universitarios. El libro fue escrito con los altos estándares de una científica social consumada, y el ingenio de una buena escritora. The Washington Post lo describió como una “diatriba hilarante con una investigación excepcional a favor de vivir bien siendo soltero.” Otro de los periódicos principales comentó, "Fascinante. Este libro no podría haber llegado en un mejor momento. Por más que la adulación social de la pareja discrimine

Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy
by Mo GawdatMo Gawdat is a remarkable thinker and the Chief Business Officer at Google’s [X], an elite team of engineers that comprise Google’s futuristic “dream factory.” Applying his superior skills of logic and problem solving to the issue of happiness, he proposes an algorithm based on an understanding of how the brain takes in and processes joy and sadness. Then he solves for happy.In 2001 Mo Gawdat realized that despite his incredible success, he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would: examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, his countless hours of research and science proved successful, and he discovered the equation for permanent happiness. Thirteen years later, Mo’s algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equation—and it saved them from despair. In dealing with the horrible loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of “moonshot” goal that he and his colleagues were always aiming for—he would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible become happier. In Solve for Happy Mo questions some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence, shares the underlying reasons for suffering, and plots out a step-by-step process for achieving lifelong happiness and enduring contentment. He shows us how to view life through a clear lens, teaching us how to dispel the illusions that cloud our thinking; overcome the brain’s blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths. No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials we’ve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future.

Solving the Mind-Body Problem by the CODAM Neural Model of Consciousness?
by John G. TaylorThis book details a model of consciousness supported by scientific experimental data from the human brain. It presents how the Corollary Discharge of Attention Movement (CODAM) neural network model allows for a scientific understanding of consciousness as well as provides a solution to the Mind-Body problem. The book provides readers with a general approach to consciousness that is powerful enough to lead to the inner self and its ramifications for the vast range of human experiences. It also offers an approach to the evolution of human consciousness and features chapters on mental disease (especially schizophrenia) and on meditative states (including drug-induced states of mind). Solving the Mind-Body Problem bridges the gap that exists between philosophers of mind and the neuroscience community, allowing the enormous weight of theorizing on the nature of mind to be brought to earth and put under the probing gaze of the scientific facts of life and mind.
