CHOCOLATE CHINO EN BUDAPEST (EBOOK)
by Virginia GambaEl libro que el lector tiene en sus manos es inclasificable: mezcla de sorprendente relato autobiográfico con tratado de estrategia, valioso manual de autoayuda para jóvenes necesitados de motivación y esperanzas y, a la vez, cautivante y minucioso mapa histórico de un cambio de siglo. Con humor y desenfado Virginia Gamba desafía todas las reglas y nos regala una sucesión de relatos a veces conmovedores, a veces hilarantes, que simplemente no pueden abandonarse. Fragmentos de una vida extravagante y bohemia, pero regada también de esfuerzo, desilusiones y tropiezos, de una mujer de este lado del mundo que se abrió camino en un universo de hombres, contra todos los prejuicios y las convenciones de su época. "Me pasaron cosas ridículas, divertidísimas, trágicas, emotivas, inspiradoras, frustrantes, espantosas, fuertes y leves. Algunas pude cambiarlas y otras no. Conocí gente que me ayudó y gente que me quiso arruinar. Muchas veces pensé que había llegado al fin de algo cuando en verdad sólo estaba iniciando algo nuevo. Este libro es un recuento de algunas de las anécdotas que recuerdo y que más influyeron en mi experiencia como mujer, como latinoamericana y como especialista en seguridad (...) Es mi esperanza que los lectores que me acompañen en esta aventura parcial de vida encuentren el consuelo de pensar que si una persona como yo pudo desempeñarse, sobrevivir y divertirse con lo que le tocó vivir, ellos también pueden hacerlo porque la esperanza siempre,pero siempre, derrota a la experiencia."

Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!: How to Take Back Our Time, Attention, and Purpose in a World Designed to Bury Us in Bullshit
by Julio Vincent GambutoAtomic Habits meets The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k in this life-changing guide to freeing yourself from the automated behaviors, values, and relationships that keep you from being happy. When the pandemic essentially brought the world to a standstill, author Julio Gambuto came to understand a powerful truth: in the pre-pandemic world, Americans were exhausted, lonely, unhappy, wildly overworked and overbooked, drowning in sea of constantly being on the go and needing to buy more, more, more. But when that pressure disappeared, people rediscovered what was important to them. They quit jobs that made them unhappy and moved their families to suburbs. Simple things like outdoor walks replaced gym memberships; home cooking and backyard gardens replaced takeout; less commuting meant more time for family and creative projects; and for perhaps the first time in a long time, people were being honest. Honest about what they wanted, what they believed in. Honest about the problems they were facing within their families, friend groups, workplaces, towns, and society overall. That honesty, he noticed, had the potential to make the ground shift. It created a capacity for change. But he also knew that it likely wouldn&’t last, because the most powerful forces running our world would not allow it to. They wanted control over our clicks, our conversations, our dollars, our work, our votes—our lives. The only way that we could beat those systems, would be to resist the calls to keep moving, and to &“go back to normal.&” In order to change, we had to unsubscribe. Now, in Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!, Gambuto gives us a radical blueprint for the ways we can take a deep breath, renew and commit to a life that we really want, individually and collectively, from unsubscribing to emails and automated subscriptions to reevaluating the presence of people and ideas and habits that no longer serve us or make us happy. Infused with the practical advice in James Clear&’s Atomic Habits and the humor of Sarah Knight&’s The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k, Please Unsubscribe, Thanks! helps us focus on where we find joy in our lives and encourages us to toss out what doesn&’t bring us joy in this modern world.
Conócete a ti misma: Piedra angular en momentos de crisis
by Viviane GamerroConócete y conocerás el mundo, cambia y cambiarás el mundo. Todos atravesamos momentos de crisis y nos resistimos al cambio.

Self-Restraint V. Self-Indulgence
by M. K. GandhiThose who believe in self-restraint must not become hypochondriacs. The letters that come to me show that many correspondents brood over their ill-success the exercise of self-restraint. Like everything else that is good, self-restraint too requires an inexhaustible store of patience. There is absolutely no reason to despond, and there must be no brooding. There should be no conscious effort to drive away evil thoughts. That process is itself a kind of indulgence. The best prescription perhaps is non-resistance, i.e., ignoring the existence of evil thoughts and a continuous preoccupation with duties that lie in front of one. This presupposes the existence of some kind of all-absorbing service requiring the concentration of mind, soul and body upon it. “Idle hands some mischief still will ever find to do”, is never so applicable as in this case. Evil thoughts, much more evil deeds are impossible when we are thus preoccupied. Strenuous labour in accordance with one’s physical capacity is, therefore, absolutely necessary for those who will obey the law of self-restraint which is indispensable for individual as well as universal progress. M. K. Gandhi

Hidden Treasure
by GangajiAn inspiring book from one of our greatest living spiritual teachers. Just as the life stories of the Buddha and Christ have served those on the spiritual path for millennia, our own lives can serve as important teaching stories. In Hidden Treasure, one of the great spiritual teachers of our time, Gangaji, uses the telling of her own life story to help readers unveil the truth in their own. Antoinette (Toni) Roberson Varner was given the name Gangaji by her teacher Sri H. W. L. Poonja in 1990. Before that meeting, she had pursued many paths to enlightenment. Raised in the 1950s in the racially divided South, she married young and had a daughter. Following the dissolution of her first marriage, she moved to Northern California and immersed herself in the spiritual culture that was flourishing there; but her efforts to achieve lasting fulfillment ultimately fell short. In the wake of her disillusionment, she made a final prayer for help. The answer to her prayer came unexpectedly, taking her to India and to the meeting that would change everything. On the banks of the River Ganges, she met Poonja, also known as Papaji, who opened her mind to the eternal presence of being. In this life-changing book, Gangaji guides readers in recognizing that while their life stories follow universal patterns of human suffering, by uncovering and speaking the truth of these stories, they can open the doorway to the possibility of living freely and in truth. Hidden Treasure invites readers to discover the fulfillment that can exist for anyone, right here, right now. .
Life Ke Kadawe Sach: लाइफ के कड़वे सच
by Shwetabh Gangwar“लाइफ के कड़वे सच” यह किताब नज़रियों का संकलन है। यह किसी एक बकैती के बारे में कत्तई नहीं है। यह किताब आपको उपदेश देने के लिए नहीं है। यह आपको सोचने के लिए, उत्साहित करने के लिए लिखी गई है, और इसीलिए मेरी फक्कड़ वाली भाषा, किताब का शीर्षक और यह लंठई भरा नज़रिया अपनाया गया है। हालांकि किताब में उपदेश बहुत हैं, पर मैं चाहता हूं आप एक बार इस पर सोचें ज़रूर। ज़रूरी बात यह है कि यह किताब आपको हर उस फालतू की चीज़ से मुक्त करना चाहती है जिसे आप ख़ुद से अनजाने ही चिपकाए घूम रहे हैं और घुट भी रहे हैं- चाहे वह ख़ुशी पाने के तरीक़े हों या फिर आपकी ज़िंदगी से जुड़े लोग। ऐसी चीज़ें हर मामले में टांग अड़ाकर खड़ी होती हैं। चूंकि यह किताब आपको आज़ाद कराने को लेकर है, तो यह आपकी ज़िंदगी से जुड़े कई मसलों पर बात करेगी। जब भी आप किसी बात से असहमत हों, तब उस मुद्दे को विस्तार से लिख डालें कि ऐसा क्यों है, आपके तर्क के पीछे वजहें क्या हैं और ऊपरवाले से प्रार्थना करें कि अपने तर्क को पढ़ते वक़्त ऐसा न लगे कि आप इसलिए असहमत हैं क्योंकि आपके जज़्बातों को ठेस पहुंच रही है।
The Creative Curve: How to Develop the Right Idea, at the Right Time
by Allen GannettBig data entrepreneur Allen Gannett overturns the mythology around creative genius, and reveals the science and secrets behind achieving breakout commercial success in any field. We have been spoon-fed the notion that creativity is the province of genius -- of those favored, brilliant few whose moments of insight arrive in unpredictable flashes of divine inspiration. And if we are not a genius, we might as well pack it in and give up. Either we have that gift, or we don’t. But Allen shows that simply isn’t true. Recent research has shown that there is a predictable science behind achieving commercial success in any creative endeavor, from writing a popular novel to starting up a successful company to creating an effective marketing campaign. As the world’s most creative people have discovered, we are enticed by the novel and the familiar. By understanding the mechanics of what Gannett calls “the creative curve” – the point of optimal tension between the novel and the familiar – everyone can better engineer mainstream success. In a thoroughly entertaining book that describes the stories and insights of everyone from the Broadway team behind Dear Evan Hansen, to the founder of Reddit, from the Chief Content Officer of Netflix to Michelin star chefs, Gannett reveals the four laws of creative success and identifies the common patterns behind their achievement.
