Pero... ¿quién quiere ser? ¿Dónde quiere ir? ¿Cuál es su propósito? Con la intención de dar respuesta a estas preguntas vitales, Brianne emprende un nuevo viaje en solitario equipada tan solo con una mochila y la firme decisión de averiguar quién puede llegar a ser. Le han hablado de un lugar mágico en la cima de una montaña donde la gente conoce su destino, pero llegar arriba no será fácil. En su ascenso, Brianne conocerá a los moradores de la montaña, de quienes aprenderá importantes lecciones que le permitirán ir superando etapas desde el estado de supervivencia a la iluminación. Sobre Tienes un Ferrari en el garaje:«Este libro, que no quería ser de autoayuda pero que ya ha ayudado a muchísimas mujeres desde su publicación, es una historia altamente inspiradora que nos anima a encontrarnos a nosotras mismas, a superar nuevos retos y a eliminar la palabra "miedo" de nuestro diccionario para poder atrevernos con todo.»Revista Mia «Mónica Vicente irrumpe con fuerza en el crecimiento personal con una inolvidable fábula de autoconocimiento y aceptación.»ABC Bienestar «En esta historia inspiradora, Mónica Vicente nos invita a «salir del garaje» y emprender un camino de autoconocimiento y aceptación a lo largo del cual, a pesar de las curvas y los obstáculos, lleguemos a descubrirnos.»La Voz de Galicia «Que levanten la mano todas las mujeres que se hayan sentido identificadas con esta historia, que seguro que son muchas.»Cristina Zavala, Los40 «Una novela que pretende tender puentes a través de una historia de autoconocimiento, con una mujer como protagonista que saca a pasear sin rumbo fijo el Ferrari que tenía olvidado en el garaje de su casa. En el camino encontrará señales y personas que iluminarán su verdadero yo hacia la consecución de una identidad esencial alejada de lo que consideraba hasta entonces su zona de confort.»Natalio Blanco, Diario 16 «Es de humanos pararse a pensar en un momento determinado qué camino queremos tomar para encontrarnos con nosotros mismos y dejar de ser quienes no somos. Lo de vivir en piloto automático seguramente por un pequeño periodo de tiempo está bien, pero nada comparable con llevar las riendas de nuestra vida y tomar nuestras propias decisiones sin dejarnos influir por los demás ni que el miedo se apodere a nuestras ganas e ilusión por explorar otras vías. Sobre esto y mucho más va el primer libro de Mónica Vicente, conocida youtuber, influencer y empresaria, Tienes un Ferrari en el garaje.»Melissa González, ABC Bienestar «Antes de publicar su primera novela sobre desarrollo personal, Mónica Vicente ya era toda una influencer: diez millones de suscriptores en su canal de YouTube y más de tres mil millones de reproducciones de vídeo ¿Por qué no utilizar esa capacidad de influir y de llegar a tanta gente para ayudar a otras personas en su propio despertar? De ahí surgió la idea de relatar en forma de novela ese proceso de transformación que ella había vivido en primera persona.»Aldara Martitegui, Nius

by Lorraine MonroeLeadership is the key to excellence. And leadership can be learned. Thank goodness, because many people who fall into managerial positions haven't the foggiest notion how to lead. They don't feel driven to attain the competencies of a boss--much less a great boss. Lorraine Monroe is a born leader. She caught the bug early, as secretary of the student council in the fourth grade at P. S. 157 in Central Harlem. She went on to found the Frederick Douglass Academy in Harlem, a remarkably successful and innovative public school, and became one of the most respected education reformers in America. Now Monroe translates her extensive experience in New York City public schools into the "Monroe Doctrine" to show other education and business leaders how to create and maintain high-achieving organizations. The Monroe Doctrine offers readers concrete lessons in the craft of leadership. Its brief, catchy lessons and anecdotes will help potential leaders tap into their natural gifts and harness those gifts to lead seemingly by instinct. Monroe's personal story of conquering the most overwhelming challenges will inspire leaders of all types to try new ideas to enrich their lives and the lives of their organizations. With The Monroe Doctrine by their side, readers will be able to lead any organization--whether a hospital, a house of worship, a sorority, a family, a school, or a business--with renewed passion and results.

The Monkey Is the Messenger: Meditation and What Your Busy Mind Is Trying to Tell You
by Ralph De La RosaHope for all those who want to meditate but feel they can't because they think too much.“My mind is so busy, I really need to meditate.” “My mind is so busy, there’s no way I can meditate.” Familiar dilemma? These days just about all of us know we should be meditating, but that doesn’t make it any easier to sit down and face the repetitive thoughts careening around our brains—seemingly pointless, sometimes hurtful, nearly always hard to control. Rather than quitting meditation or trying to wall off the monkey mind, Ralph De La Rosa suggests asking yourself a question: If you were to stop demonizing your monkey mind, would it have anything to teach you? In a roundabout way, could repetitive thoughts be pointing us in the direction of personal—and even societal—transformation? Poignant and entertaining, The Monkey Is the Messenger offers a range of evidence-based, somatic, and trauma-informed insights and practices drawn from De La Rosa’s study of neuroscience and psychology and his long practice of meditation and yoga. Here at last—a remedy for all those who want to meditate but suppose they can’t because they think too much.

A Monk in the World: Cultivating a Spiritual Life
by Wayne TeasdaleIn 1986, Brother Wayne Teasdale accepted an invitation to visit Father Bede Griffiths, an English Benedictine monk who had been living in India and studying Hinduism, in Shantivanam, his Christian ashram in Tamil Nadu, India. For millennia the land housing Shantivanam had been sacred, a consecrated place for sages, sannyasis, or monks, and mystics. More recently, it had become a refuge and sanctuary for countless pilgrims of many different traditions. On this, Teasdale's third visit to Shantivanam, with the new year approaching, Father Bede sent for him, and asked if he would consider taking sannyasa, or Indian monkhood, from him, as a Christian. Thus began Teasdale's life as an interreligious monk and mystic. In A Monk in the World, he explores what Griffiths? charge has meant for him ? to live as a monk outside the monastery, to integrate teachings from the world's religions with his own Catholic training, to combine his vigorous spiritual practice with the necessities of making a living and pursuing a course of social justice in a big American city as well as how readers can find their own spiritual path amidst the rigors of everyday life. Along the way, Teasdale explores the real world topics of friendship; time, work, and money; the problem and opportunity of the homeless; a contemplative understanding of suffering; the struggle to promote personal and social change; as well as the as the role of the church and nature in building spiritual understanding. Building on the success and insights of his first book, The Mystic Heart, Teasdale gives a compelling glimpse of the unique spiritual path he has followed, and how everyone can find their own internal monastery and bring spiritual practice into their busy lives.

The Monk And The Martyr: The Monk As The Successor Of The Martyr
by Edward E. MaloneThe ideal of Christian perfection does not change from age to age but remains forever essentially the same. Nevertheless, the manner in which Christians attempt to realize that ideal in their own lives may vary considerably according to the age in which they live, and according to the circumstances in which they find themselves placed. During the apostolic age, and during the time of the great persecutions, when almost every Christian might expect to end his life as a martyr, the disposition to offer one’s life for the faith was considered the highest expression of Christian perfection.When the age of the martyrs had passed, it became necessary for the Christian to express his desire to imitate Christ in some other way. Many Christians wishing to disengage their affection entirely from the world, sought to apply the evangelical counsels to their lives in a very literal fashion. This ascetical ideal was accepted by many of the rigorists of the second century as a substitute for martyrdom as the highest expression of the love of God. Thus the ascetical life came to be looked upon as a martyrium cotidianum, and the concept of spiritual martyrdom was born.
