by Ana Mas VillaseñorSOMOS LA HERRAMIENTA CON LA QUE NOS ENFRENTAMOS AL MUNDO Ana Mas, Médico Psiquiatra, nos proporciona en este libro las claves para aprender a llevar un estilo de vida consciente y cuidar nuestra salud mental. Siempre me ha sorprendido la relación que existe entre nuestra forma de ser y la manera en la que interpretamos lo que ocurre a nuestro alrededor. Lo que somos nos ofrece, en cierta medida, la clave de lo que necesitamos; en otras palabras, nos indica de forma sutil el camino que debemos ir tomando en cada momento. El problema que encontramos hoy en día a la hora de contactar con quienes somos es el ruido: el ruido de la información, el ruido de nuestras emociones y el de las de los demás, el ruido de las aspiraciones... Todo esto se va acumulando en nuestro interior y que termina por hacernos sentir confusos, desprotegidos, SIN RUMBO. El libro que tienes en tus manos proporciona las herramientas para alcanzar un nivel más profundo de autoconocimiento, sentirnos más seguros y tranquilos de forma global. Por Ana Mas, Mindhappyplace.

Cooking recipes to be happy: Ingredients for a successful being
by Adrian SalamaThis book is essentially a guide to personal growth, a simple way of bringing together many topics that ultimately lead to the same goal, to enjoy life to the fullest. To do this, as the title says with a bit of irony, there is no recipe or list of steps to follow, you just have to understand some concepts that seem very obvious but that sometimes we lose sight of. It is told with a series of stories with which it is very easy to identify and with a sense of humor that is very pleasant for the reader. It is a simple text to read but with a very deep content, it shows a whole philosophy of life that balances all aspects that influence a person to enjoy life, from the physical to the mental without passing through the emotional, it is that the reader understands that you can achieve everything you want as long as you want it from the heart. Going through Taoism and Gestalt, the book explains how important it is to live in the here and now, to live in the PRESENT, which makes a lot of sense since it is the only time you can live in, there is no way to go back to the past nor to travel to the future to know what will happen. How to start living in the here and now? You have to understand that each person is born with the possibilities of having EVERYTHING he or she wants and that all things come at their own time so one of the first challenges that the book poses is to have patience and enjoy every moment, because when we are running through life the obvious is the only thing that is not seen. One of the questions the book answers very well is why do things happen to us in life? Everything begins with thought, everything outside is a projection of what we have inside, so if a person has positive thoughts, of harmony, of love, his environment begins to change immediately. It is important to know that there are no coincidences but CAUSALITIES, everything that happens to us is for a reason and from every situation you can l

Cool Down: Getting Further by Going Slower
by Steve PrenticeTap into the power that cool thinking generates—learn how going slower can actually help you get more done, faster. Before you check your wireless e-mail for the fourth time this hour, ask yourself, is this truly helping you get further ahead? Or is the pressure to address the immediate actually pushing you backwards? Cool Down takes a look at our innate and powerful addiction to high-speed activity, and shows how it is robbing us of the ability to think creatively and to connect with others (clients, colleagues, managers, and even family) just when we need to the most. Cool Down offers a provocative look at the value of slowing down in many aspects of our lives and demonstrates clearly that to get further ahead, faster, people do actually need to cool down. It's not about doing less; it's about achieving more by slowing down. Cool Down highlights the harmful effects of speed on productivity and reveals the value of slow in helping us to think clearly and prioritize more effectively. Cool Down is a fascinating look at the world of work, revealing how and why slow is the next tool of strategic advantage. Shows why and how to consciously step away from reactionism, pressure, and overload. Reveals the numerous ways in which cooling down will improve your potential and abilities--intellectually, emotionally, and creatively--making you more productive by going slower. Contains practical advice that will help you apply cool techniques to real-world situations: at work, on the road, and at home. Explains how to improve communication with your boss, your colleagues, and your family. Features lots of examples, practical tips, to-dos, and concepts that are memorable and easy to apply. Each end-of-chapter summary includes "Key Points to Take Away" and assessment questions to help you honestly observe and change your current habits. A complete approach to managing the pressures of life in a fast-paced world, Cool Down allows you to slow down so you can get ahead--and stay there.
