Poder, Política y Cambio: ¿Cómo puedo ayudar a hacer del mundo un lugar mejor?
by OshoEl poder no corrompe, asegura Osho, es el hombre corrupto quien encuentra en las circunstancias una manera de expresar lo que lleva dentro. Poder, política y cambio es un libro que plantea la problemática de una realidad que alcanza a la humanidad entera y que es posible cambiar. Si bien los regímenes de gobierno y la religión son los blancos más visibles de estas reflexiones, la ambición es parte intrínseca de cada persona, por lo tanto, es necesario partir del espíritu propio para cambiar al mundo. El hombre iluminado da, simplemente. No porque quiera sacar algo de ti; tú no tienes nada para darle. Él da porque tiene mucho, lleva una sobrecarga. Da porque es una nube cargada de lluvia, tan llena de agua que tiene que llover. No importa dónde, sobre qué: las piedras, el suelo fértil, los jardines, el mar; es igual. La nube sólo quiere descargarse.

Asesinos seriales mexicanos: Las entrañas de una realidad siniestra
by Ricardo HamEn México la figura del asesino en serie ha sido negada históricamente, sin embargo, su presencia a lo largo y ancho del país no puede ocultarse, lo mismo al sur que al norte, e incluso exportando homicidas de antología. Nuestro territorio tiene una historia de más de 125 años de asesinos seriales. A lo largo de la historia, la imaginación del hombre ha creado seres a quienes temer: fantasmas, brujas, demonios, vampiros, hombres lobo, alienígenas o dioses que desatan toda su furia contra una sociedad entera; sin embargo, pese a todas las versiones existentes, estos extraños seres no dejan de ser sólo producto de nuestra imaginación. En la actualidad ha surgido una nueva bestia a la que tememos, pero al mismo tiempo seguimos con una extraña fascinación, se trata de los criminales que siempre siguen un mismo modelos para matar: los asesinos seriales.
La odisea de ser humano: ¿Es posible encontrar la felicidad en la vida ordinaria? (Life Essentials #Volumen)
by OshoEl hombre es un puente que une lo animal con lo divino, y la conciencia de esta dualidad de la naturaleza es lo que nos hace humanos, dice Osho en el libro que usted tiene en sus manos. Recuerda, la vida consiste en las cosas pequeñas; no hay cosas grandes. Las cosas pequeñas acumuladas se convierten en cosas grandes. Un único acto puede no parecer muy significativo como bueno o malo. Una sola sonrisa no parecerá importante, pero una sonrisa es parte de un largo proceso. Ciertamente, una sola flor no es la guirnalda, pero no habrá ninguna guirnalda sin flores que la compongan.

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
by Gabor MateIn this timely and profoundly original new book, bestselling writer and physician Gabor Maté looks at the epidemic of addictions in our society, tells us why we are so prone to them and what is needed to liberate ourselves from their hold on our emotions and behaviours.For over seven years Gabor Maté has been the staff physician at the Portland Hotel, a residence and harm reduction facility in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. His patients are challenged by life-threatening drug addictions, mental illness, Hepatitis C or HIV and, in many cases, all four. But if Dr. Maté’s patients are at the far end of the spectrum, there are many others among us who are also struggling with addictions. Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, work, food, sex, gambling and excessive inappropriate spending: what is amiss with our lives that we seek such self-destructive ways to comfort ourselves? And why is it so difficult to stop these habits, even as they threaten our health, jeopardize our relationships and corrode our lives?Beginning with a dramatically close view of his drug addicted patients, Dr. Maté looks at his own history of compulsive behaviour. He weaves the stories of real people who have struggled with addiction with the latest research on addiction and the brain. Providing a bold synthesis of clinical experience, insight and cutting edge scientific findings, Dr. Maté sheds light on this most puzzling of human frailties. He proposes a compassionate approach to helping drug addicts and, for the many behaviour addicts among us, to addressing the void addiction is meant to fill.I believe there is one addiction process, whether it manifests in the lethal substance dependencies of my Downtown Eastside patients, the frantic self-soothing of overeaters or shopaholics, the obsessions of gamblers, sexaholics and compulsive internet users, or in the socially acceptable and even admired behaviours of the workaholic. Drug addicts are often dismissed and discounted as unworthy of empathy and respect. In telling their stories my intent is to help their voices to be heard and to shed light on the origins and nature of their ill-fated struggle to overcome suffering through substance use. Both in their flaws and their virtues they share much in common with the society that ostracizes them. If they have chosen a path to nowhere, they still have much to teach the rest of us. In the dark mirror of their lives we can trace outlines of our own.—from In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts
Creencia, Duda y Fanatismo: ¿Es esencial tener algo en que creer? (Life Essentials #Volumen)
by Osho¿Es esencial tener algo en que creer? Un hombre de verdadera confianza no tiene creencias, sino que confía porque ha llegado a entender lo hermosa que es la vida. Y ha llegado a entender que la vida es atemporal, eterna. Ha llegado a entender que en su interior está el reino de Dios. Se convierte en rey, y no en el sentido ordinario de la palabra, porque el reino que viene de fuera no es más que un reino de sueños.

Freeing the Soul From Fear
by Robert SardelloFear comes at us from politics, war, work, relationships, strangers, movies, and television. It keeps us from behaving intelligently, since the mind's first reaction to fear is to ignore danger, hoping it will go away. When fear takes over, it drives us to extremes of manic happiness or fits of rage; it pushes us to destroy relationships instead of letting relationships help us defeat it.

Eight months after the attacks, however, Welles’s mother read a news account from several survivors, badly hurt on the 78th floor of the South Tower, who said they and others had been led to safety by a stranger, carrying a woman on his back, down nearly twenty flights of stairs. After leading them down, the young man turned around. “I’m going back up,” was all he said. <P> The survivors didn’t know his name, but despite the smoke and panic, one of them remembered a single detail clearly: the man was wearing a red bandanna. <P> Tom Rinaldi’s The Red Bandanna is about a fearless choice, about a crucible of terror and the indomitable spirit to answer it. Examining one decision in the gravest situation, it celebrates the difference one life can make. <P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

by Tom PetersThe common denominator/bottom line for both the professional service firm/PSF and the individual/Brand You is: the project. And for the cool individual in the cool professional service firm there is only one answer: the cool project.A seminar participant said: "Reward excellent failures. Punish mediocre successes." So, how many of you are at work -- right now -- on "mediocre successes"? At work on projects that won't be recalled, let alone recalled with fondness and glee, a year from now?

It focuses almost exclusively on the details of planning and tracking progress and totally ignores the important stuff like: Is it cool? Is it beautiful? Will it make a difference?

Quantum Healing (Revised and Updated): Exploring the Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine
by Deepak ChopraTHE LANDMARK BESTSELLER--NOW COMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED More than twenty-five years ago, Quantum Healing helped transform Deepak Chopra into a cultural phenomenon. Now Dr. Chopra, hailed by Time as "the poet-prophet of alternative medicine," returns to this groundbreaking work, adding the latest scientific research as well as expanded thoughts on the connection between body and mind. Inspired by the unexplained recovery of patients in his own practice who had been given just a few months to live, Dr. Chopra began his search for answers. After returning to his native India to explore humanity's most ancient healing tradition, Ayurveda, he combined those insights with Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics. What he discovered--a "network of intelligence" in the human body with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, even aging itself--forms the basis of Quantum Healing. In this new edition, Dr. Chopra once again offers a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing. Praise for Quantum Healing "Quantum Healing didn't set out to cure cancer or Alzheimer's or any other intractable disease. It set out to see the human body, and human existence in general, through wiser eyes. As a scientist I'm passionate about genes and the brain; as a person I'm totally fascinated by the origins of consciousness. Quantum Healing galvanized my intuition that these areas do not have to be separated."--Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, from the new foreword "Deepak Chopra illuminates our true innate capacity for healing, growth, and evolution. With the wisdom of an experienced doctor, girded by science, he guides us to reclaim our natural power towards thriving. Chopra's work is paradigm-changing for medicine and helpful beyond measure for every human being seeking to evolve, flourish, and know our true nature."--Lisa Miller, Ph.D., author of The Spiritual Child and director of clinical psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University
