¿Y ahora qué hacemos?: Preguntas y respuestas después de una infidelidad
by Alejandra Godoy Haeberle Antonio Godoy Delard¿De qué manera se puede abordar terapéuticamente los episodios de infidelidad en la pareja? ¿Qué entendemos por infidelidad? ¿Han aumentado las infidelidades en el último tiempo? Quien fue infiel ¿lo volverá a ser? ¿Una pareja se puede recuperar después de una infidelidad? Estas y otras preguntas que muchos nos hemos hecho por años respecto de la infidelidad son las que responden los psicólogos Alejandra y Antonio Godoy, especialistas en pareja y sexualidad. A través del análisis de numerosos casos y de una extensa revisión de investigaciones, los autores abordan uno de los temas más complejos que viven algunas parejas: la infidelidad y cómo abordarla para evitar un quiebre. Con una vasta base teórica y a partir del estudio de ejemplos muy actuales, Alejandra y Antonio Godoy ofrecen una nueva mirada, la cual puede servir como guía para parejas, terapeutas, comunicadores y para todos aquellos que quieran orientar a aquellas que estén pasando por esta compleja situación como lo es una crisis pos-infidelidad "Nuestro principal objetivo es entregarles una mirada amplia y desprejuiciada que los ayude a derribar el sinnúmero de mitos que prevalecen al hablar de infidelidad. Para ello procuramos exponerles desde distintos ángulos los hallazgos más relevantes, basándonos tanto en información empírica como en nuestros años de experiencia clínica. Tenemos la esperanza de que ahora estén más dispuestos a dejar de lado sus creencias TAN arraigadas y generen nuevas interpretaciones que los conduzcan no solo a evitar la separación sino también a fortalecer su relación", aseguran los expertos en su libro. Como ellos mismos plantean, la idea es entregar una visión más amplia respecto de la infidelidad y persuadir a quienes la han vivido de que esta problemática no puede ser vista desde categorías como "bueno" y "malo", y de que no existen verdades absolutas en este asunto. Es posible que al final queden más preguntas y cuestionamientos en el aire que respuestas y aseveraciones, lo que puede ser una tremenda oportunidad para enriquecer el diálogo de la pareja.

¿Y qué hay de mí? (What About Me?): Libérate del egoísmo y descubre el poder de vivir desprendidamente
by Joyce MeyerExperimenta la verdadera satisfacción y el poder de una vida desinteresada con la autora de éxitos de ventas del New York Times y reconocida maestra de la Biblia, Joyce Meyer. A medida que avanzamos en nuestro diario vivir, existe una vocecita en nuestra mente que siempre cuestiona: &“¿Y qué hay de mí?&”. Tal vez algo como: &“¿Cuándo llegará mi turno de que me tomen en cuenta en el trabajo?&” o &“¿Cuándo alguien de esta familia hará algo por mí?&”. Esa voz puede estar susurrándote sobre tus finanzas, tu trabajo o tus amigos, pero siempre te anima a pensar en algo que no tienes. Y, lamentablemente, las redes sociales y la cultura en general nos llevan a centrarnos en el concepto de felicidad y éxito de este mundo, pero ¿funciona? ¿Podrías estar saboteando tu propia alegría, tu propósito, tu éxito? ¿Qué podrías hacer para salir de tu propio camino? Y lo más importante, ¿cuál es la definición de éxito de Dios? La Biblia nos dice, una y otra vez, que la verdadera fuente de significado y felicidad es una vida centrada en Dios y en servir a los demás. En lugar de preguntarnos cuándo será nuestro turno de conseguir un aumento, ser reconocidos o finalmente triunfar, es hora de descubrir la fuente de la felicidad y la satisfacción verdaderas y duraderas. ¡Al transitar por esta ruta, tendremos mayor gozo y una relación más cercana con Dios de lo que jamás podríamos imaginar!Experience the true satisfaction and power of living unselfishly with #1 New York Times bestselling author and renowned Bible teacher Joyce Meyer. As we go about our daily lives, there is a little voice in our minds that&’s always asking, &“What about me?&” Maybe your voice says, &“When is it my turn to be noticed at work?&” or &“When will someone in this family do something for me?&” That voice may be whispering to you about your finances, your job, or your friends, but it is always encouraging you to think about something you don&’t have. And sadly, social media and culture in general lead us to focus on this world&’s concept of happiness and success—but does it work? Could you be sabotaging your own joy, your purpose, your success? What could you do to get out of your own way? And most importantly, what is God&’s definition of success? The Bible tells us over and over that the true source of meaning and happiness is a life focused on God and on serving others. Instead of asking when it will be our turn to get a raise, be recognized, or finally make it big, it&’s time to discover the source of true and lasting of happiness and satisfaction. By walking in this path, we will have more joy and a closer relationship with God than we could ever imagine!

by David RomanelliYeah Dave” Romanelli puts chocolate, wine, and excellent tunes right on the path to enlightenment. What's not to love?David “Yeah Dave” Romanelli is kinda hip, kinda goofy, and occasionally really outrageous, an unlikely guru who is reinventing the quest for enlightenment. For Yeah Dave, the path to ecstasy doesn't require any previous experience with yoga, meditation, or wellness. He shows us how to find transcendence through everyday pleasures, like admiring the sunset or rocking out to your favorite band. “There is a place where the chocolate tastes sweeter, the music sounds better, the inspiration feels richer, and the visions look clearer,” writes Dave. “That place is the Moment.”Yeah Dave’s Guide to Livin’ the Moment offers an alternative to the crazy, over-stimulating, distracted world we live in today, a world in which we watch the news while eating, eye our email while conversing, and forget to notice the full moon while texting. On our mission for speed, movement, and stimulation, we risk missing our life. Yeah Dave’s book gives us our life back, one beautiful, delicious, and funny moment at a time.Yeah Dave’s Guide will make you laugh out loud while taking you someplace totally unexpected. Through hilarious vignettes about his dorky moves on the dance floor, his Crackberry addiction, and his tryst with Hot Horny Married Woman, he shares fresh and unforgettable wisdom. Without dogma or anything too “out there,” Dave makes you want to slow down the blur of modern life and find the full flavor, power, and passion that can only be found in the Moment.
Yeah, No. Not Happening.: How I Found Happiness Swearing Off Self-Improvement and Saying F*ck It All—and How You Can Too
by Karen KarboThe author of the acclaimed, bestselling In Praise of Difficult Women delivers a hilarious feminist manifesto that encourages us to reject “self-improvement” and instead learn to appreciate and flaunt our complex, and flawed, human selves.Why are we so obsessed with being our so-called best selves? Because our modern culture force feeds women lies designed to heighten their insecurities: “You can do it all—crush it at work, at home, in the bedroom, at PTA and at Pilates—and because you can, you should. We can show you how!” Karen Karbo has had enough. She’s taking a stand against the cultural and societal pressures, marketing, and media influences that push us to spend endless time, energy and money trying to “fix” ourselves—a race that has no finish line and only further increases our send of self-dissatisfaction and loathing. “Yeah, no, not happening,” is her battle cry. In this wickedly smart and entertaining book, Karbo explores how “self-improvery” evolved from the provenance of men to women. Recast as “consumers” in the 1920s, women, it turned out, could be seduced into buying anything that might improve not just their lives, but their sense of self-worth. Today, we smirk at Mad Men-era ads targeting 1950s housewives—even while savvy marketers, aided and abetted by social media “influencers,” peddle skin care “systems,” skinny tea, and regimens that promise to deliver endless happiness. We’re not simply seduced into dropping precious disposable income on empty promises; the underlying message is that we can’t possibly know what’s good for us, what we want, or who we should be. Calling BS, Karbo blows the lid off of this age-old trend and asks women to start embracing their awesomely imperfect selves.There is no one more dangerous than a woman who doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. Yeah, No, Not Happening is a call to arms to build a posse of dangerous women who swear off self-improvement and its peddlers. A welcome corrective to our inner-critic, Karbo’s manifesto will help women restore their sanity and reclaim their self-worth.

The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store
by Cait FlandersIn her late twenties, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy —only keeping her from meeting her goals —she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year.The Year of Less documents Cait’s life for twelve months during which she bought only consumables: groceries, toiletries, gas for her car. Along the way, she challenged herself to consume less of many other things besides shopping. She decluttered her apartment and got rid of 70 percent of her belongings; learned how to fix things rather than throw them away; researched the zero waste movement; and completed a television ban. At every stage, she learned that the less she consumed, the more fulfilled she felt.The challenge became a lifeline when, in the course of the year, Cait found herself in situations that turned her life upside down. In the face of hardship, she realized why she had always turned to shopping, alcohol, and food —and what it had cost her. Unable to reach for any of her usual vices, she changed habits she’d spent years perfecting and discovered what truly mattered to her.Blending Cait’s compelling story with inspiring insight and practical guidance, The Year of Less will leave you questioning what you’re holding on to in your own life —and, quite possibly, lead you to find your own path of less.
