Desde muy joven, se las arregló para cubrir apenas los gastos más básicos. Sin embargo, gracias al generoso consejo de un compañero del trabajo, Linda hizo su primera inversión, y su vida cambió: doscientos dólares se convirtieron en siete mil, y estos, al cabo de varios años, en cien mil.Como orgullosa latina, García entiende que crear riqueza puede significar algo más que entrar en ámbitos financieros históricamente vedados a las comunidades latinas y de color, y, en particular, a las mujeres.

by Santiago GarcíaEl nuevo libro de Santiago García, referente del running en la Argentina, propone una guía para retomar esta disciplina que no para de crecer, tras la pausa impuesta por la pandemia y el confinamiento, atento a las ansiedades de esta época. ¿Cómo que volver a correr? ¿Cuándo dejamos de hacerlo? En 2020 el mundo sufrió un frenazo; los relojes se detuvieron y durante un tiempo hubo que parar. Poner en pausa nuestro bienestar físico y emocional. Nunca habíamos tenido que esperar tanto para hacer lo que más amamos. La vuelta fue un proceso accidentado pero imprescindible para quienes no imaginamos una vida sin correr. Y entonces nuestros pies se encontraron otra vez frente a la línea de largada, nuestro corazón latiendo con fuerza: por lo que estaba por venir, sí, pero también por todo lo que atravesamos para regresar. Volver significa entonces muchas cosas: volver a entrenar y a competir, recuperar la fuente de nuestra salud, energía y felicidad, reencontrarnos con los amigos para fundirnos en un abrazo y también reconectar con nosotros mismos. Fortalecido por la experiencia, Santiago García, el mayor referente del running en la Argentina, narra los aprendizajes de esta etapa difícil, de cara a los tiempos que vienen, para los que vuelven y, como siempre, para los que quieren empezar. Cada uno sabe el camino que ha recorrido hasta aquí, nos dice García. Llegó el momento de salir, de viajar, de ser felices. Llegó la hora de volver a correr.

by Caleb GardnerOur future depends on changing the way we change. But because technology has forever altered our relationship with what&’s coming next, the tomorrow we envisioned is too often totally different by the time it arrives—there is no linear path from where we are to where we are going.

The only way we&’ll make significant progress on building a better world is by recognizing better is a process of constant adaptation, not an end point.No Point B is the ultimate playbook for a new generation of leaders striving to dig in and give their companies and communities a better future, today.
Start Where You Are: Life Lessons in Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be
by Chris Gardner Mim E. Rivas“Gardner is encouraging us all to start where we are and dare to make our lives bigger and stronger, more satisfactory, and better. Chris Gardner is a knockout!”—Maya Angelou Chris Gardner’s astonishing memoir—the phenomenal New York Times bestseller, The Pursuit of Happyness, which inspired the film of the same name starring Will Smith—served as a shining beacon of hope for countless people. In Start Where You Are, “a book that teaches you how to transform the impossible into the possible” (Sidney Poitier), Gardner offers indispensible life lessons in getting from where you are to where you want to be.
Permission to Dream
by Chris Gardner Mim Eichler RivasIn the spirit of The Last Lecture, The Secret, and The Alchemist, this small book presents BIG ideas for turning your “one day” into today, including the generational transfer of a dream and a powerful blueprint for a masterpiece life—from the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir and major motion picture The Pursuit of Happyness.On a winter’s day, Chris Gardner set off with his nine-year-old granddaughter Brooke to find the harmonica of her dreams. The search sends them North “beyond the wall” into a foreboding Chicago neighborhood and, soon, on a harrowing adventure that will change both of their lives—and ours. Chris is still mourning the loss of his girlfriend to brain cancer. Her question haunts him: “Now that we know how short life can be, what will you do with the time you have left?” After five years, he feels an urgency—what he calls, “Atomic Time” in which every second counts—to find an answer, but is stuck. Even while giving Brooke permission to aspire to one day become President of the United States, he knows it’s time to reclaim his own permission to dream.Lost, Chris and his granddaughter board a bus, reminding him of earlier rides through dark times when dreams of a better life kept him alive. As the two wind through a changing cityscape, Chris reflects on past lessons that offer powerful guidance for dreaming your way to monumental success. At its heart, this book lays out a blueprint for building a dream-come-true life—even during uncertainty. Gardner delivers the secrets to achieving a prosperous career—from a method for identifying your ultimate dream to a playbook for becoming world class at it. His tools include the “new 3 R’s”—or the Rep, the Rap and the Rolodex—which reveal how to earn a stellar reputation, develop a rap for marketing yourself, and amass a Rolodex of rewarding relationships. No matter how much wealth you achieve, Chris notes, true success comes from enriching the lives of others—so all can still have access to the American Dream. Toward the end, Brooke observes that in Atomic Time it’s never too late for anyone to reinvent themselves and change their fortune. Chris, hearing her, realizes what his next pursuit will be—to go back to high school and give permission to dream to the next generation of problem solvers and change makers. A true fable, Permission to Dream is a timeless and timely manifesto for turning dreams into action—beginning right now.
