Empathy
by Roman KrznaricDiscover the Six Habits of Highly Empathic People A popular speaker and co-founder of The School of Life, Roman Krznaric has traveled the world researching and lecturing on the subject of empathy. In this lively and engaging book, he argues that our brains are wired for social connection. Empathy, not apathy or self-centeredness, is at the heart of who we are. By looking outward and attempting to identify with the experiences of others, Krznaric argues, we can become not only a more equal society, but also a happier and more creative one. Through encounters with groundbreaking actors, activists, designers, nurses, bankers and neuroscientists, Krznaric defines a new breed of adventurer. He presents the six life-enhancing habits of highly empathic people, whose skills enable them to connect with others in extraordinary ways - making themselves, and the world, more truly fulfilled.
Empathy for the Devil: Finding Ourselves in the Villains of the Bible
by Jr. ForasterosDo we have anything in common with the bad guys of the Bible? The sins of wrath, idolatry, and abuse of power are closer to us than we think. How do we guard against them? We learn not only by following moral exemplars—we also need to look at the warnings of lives gone wrong. In this fictionalized narrative, JR. Forasteros reintroduces us to some of the most villainous characters of Scripture. He shows us what we can learn from their negative examples, with figures such as Cain, Jezebel, King Herod, Sampson and Delilah, and even Satan serving as cautionary tales of sin and temptation. Forasteros vividly tells their stories to help us understand their motivations, and his astute biblical and cultural exposition points out what we often miss about their lives. We soon discover that we might have more in common with these characters than we would like to admit. Take a fresh look at the scoundrels of Scripture, and find sound pastoral guidance here to walk the path of righteousness.
Empezar de nuevo: Cuando la vida te derrumba solo queda reconstruirse
by Soledad SimondSoledad Simond cuenta cómo superó un divorcio que la dejó lastimada y en un mar de luto: "Tardé tiempo en entender que ese inevitable quiebre, que me partía al medio, era una bendición. Pero en ese momento lo vivía más bien como una maldición. No había manera de que en esta cabeza completamente lineal y lógica entrara el misterio de la evolución". "¿Cuándo va a volver todo a la normalidad?", se pregunta en pleno duelo Soledad Simond tras separarse del hombre de su vida. ¿Quién no sintió alguna vez que luego de un cimbronazo de esos que nos derrumban nada volverá a ser igual? Un divorcio, una enfermedad, una crisis, un desafío familiar son momentos bisagra que nos dejan con la sensación de que nuestra vida cambió para siempre... y para peor. Sin embargo, las transformaciones cobran sentido a su debido tiempo. Desde una experiencia sincera y personal, la autora cuenta cómo pudo reconstruirse cuando creía que todo estaba perdido: "Tardé tiempo en entender que ese quiebre inevitable, que me partía al medio, era una bendición. Pero en ese momento lo vivía más bien como una maldición -'¡¿por qué me pasaba esto a mí?!'-. No había manera de que en esta cabeza completamente lineal y lógica entrara el misterio de la evolución". Con el corazón y la mente abierta, Simond comparte su historia y lo que aprendió en el proceso de sanación que dio paso a una nueva vida. Además, ofrece herramientas de relajación, técnicas de respiración y sabiduría milenaria como aliados en los momentos de cambio. Pero para eso es necesario juntar valor, reconocer sobre qué estamos parados, capitalizar la experiencia y animarse a empezar de nuevo.
