Empowered Boundaries: Speaking Truth, Setting Boundaries, and Inspiring Social Change
by Cristien StormStrengthen relationships, build more resilient communities, and develop a stronger emotional toolbox Explaining power and privilege and the links between individual safety and community safety, Cristien Storm shows readers how to set emotional boundaries that build vibrant social movements and a better world for all. As there have been increases in violence against women, people of color, immigrants, and LGBTQI-identified people, there has been a corresponding demand for individual and community self-defense, boundary setting, and bystander trainings. Boundary setting can be used not just as a means for personal safety but as form of solidarity, resistance, and inspiration.From saying no to a boss who always asks you to work late, to setting a boundary with a loved one, to navigating an uncomfortable situation at the bus stop, Cristien Storm offers a new approach to verbal boundary setting that is accessible for all bodies and identities. Practical in scope, the book includes tools, tips, and strategies from Storm's decades of experience leading boundary-setting workshops. Grounded in resiliency and trauma-informed theory, Storm pays particular attention to the experiences of women, people of color, immigrants, and LQBTQI-identified people, making this necessary reading for anyone looking to create healthier relationships and build stronger communities.
Empowered Love: Use Your Brain to Be Your Best Self and Create Your Ideal Relationship
by Dr Steven StosnyEver wonder why your self-control, rationality, and compassion seem to go out the window when dealing with your partner? Couples therapist and relationship expert Steven Stosny explains it all in this revelatory book about the divide between our adult and our toddler brains. Too often, conflict in our intimate relationships reactivates our least-regulated "toddler" side, bringing out an instinctive desire to assert our own way and make everything a zero-sum game. Dr. Stosny shows the way toward overcoming these destructive impulses and nurturing our more loving and clear-eyed inclinations. Drawing upon his decades of experience in working with troubled marriages, he distills his insights into an actionable guide for embracing our best impulses in our relationships.Empowered Love is a valuable guide for married and live-in couples who struggle with an unhealthy dynamic; those already in individual or couples therapy who want a highly effective aid to help them communicate with their partner; and licensed therapists and counselors looking for an in-depth perspective on the developmental stages in play with relationship strife. "This book is for anyone who wants to learn from their painful relational past; rescue and revive a current relationship; and receive promise and hope for their future. This refreshingly brilliant book not only identifies the bottom line issues in relationships, it provides a concrete formula for creating mature, passionate relationships. In this book Dr. Stosny brilliantly identifies the underlying cause of all relationship dissatisfaction and distress. Refreshingly practical, the book draws a clear line between unhealthy and healthy interactions, enabling the reader to identify and prevent relationships disasters long before they happen. Steven Stosny's work never fails to inform, inspire and draw a clear roadmap to happier, healthier relationships." — Pat Love, Ed.D., LMFT, co-author You’re Tearing Us Apart: Twenty Ways We Wreck Our Relationships and Strategies to Repair Them"If you've ever wondered why all of your relationships are a breeze except for your intimate one, wonder no more. Steven Stosny explains how intimate partners often get stuck in repetitive and unproductive ways of interacting, and how, more importantly, to break free of these hurtful relationship habits. If your relationship isn't what it once was or what you hoped it would be, before you convince yourself that you picked the wrong partner, read this book! It combines cutting edge information about how our brains drive our choices in day to day interactions along with Stosny's extensive experience in helping people love each other more. This book is a must read!" —Michele Weiner-Davis, author of The Divorce Remedy"Combining the latest in neuroscience with decades of experience as a couples therapist specializing in the most difficult cases, Steven Stosny has written a clear, practical, immensely readable guide to arm and activate our better angels. Empowered Love is for anyone who wishes to show up more humanely in our closest and most important relationships."—Terry Real, author of The New Rules of Marriage

En el filo de la navaja
by Yolanda RuizEl primer libro de Yolanda Ruiz es un magister en periodismo e historia reciente de país. Yolanda Ruiz recuerda el día que habló con Pablo Escobar para hacer una entrevista que esperó más de dos décadas para ser publicada. Tiene vivo también el impacto de ver los restos del avión que, según se dice en una versión controvertida, mandó a derribar el capo. Ha narrado la muerte de mil maneras y también las búsquedas desesperadas de paz. Frente a las cámaras de televisión y los micrófonos de la radio ha acumulado treinta y cuatro años de periodismo y ha enfrentado retos humanos y éticos. Ese tiempo le permite ver el espejo retrovisor y recordar muchas anécdotas y encrucijadas a las que ha tenido que enfrentarse para narrar el país. ¿Cómo preguntarle a Clara Rojas por su hijo horas después de haber sido liberada tras siete años de secuestro, o a Claudia Morales cuando acaba de denunciar una violación de la que fue víctima en el pasado? ¿De qué manera rectificar si se acaba de decir al aire que el político e industrial Pedro Juan Moreno y sus compañeros de viaje salieron ilesos cuando el helicóptero en el que volaban se fue a pique? ¿Qué hacer si un expresidente cuelga el teléfono en una entrevista al aire? ¿Cómo se aborda la denuncia de un escándalo en la Corte constitucional? ¿Cómo enfrentar el reto digital y las noticias falsas? ¿Cómo informar sobre un secuestro de periodistas o cómo enfrentar una amenaza? ¿Cómo mantener distancia cuando estamos también en la mira de los violentos? Este libro, además de repasar algunos de los sucesos más recordados de Colombia en los últimos 30 años, nos asoma al tras escena de la información para dejarnos ver cómo se cocinan las noticias y entender cómo se toman decisiones difíciles en medio de momentos complejos. Es una evaluación reflexiva y profunda sobre cómo funcionan los medios de comunicación en Colombia, por qué las redes están transformando el oficio, y por qué el afán de la "chiva" sigue dejando muchas lecciones. Una evaluación que solo el tiempo transcurrido y la experiencia de una periodista como Yolanda Ruiz permiten hacer con responsabilidad y humanismo.
En el lugar de los hechos
by Jorge ZarzaEl lector encontrará en este libro lecciones de periodismo de primer nivel, así como el rostro más humano del reportero que con igual rigor implacable cubre las secuelas de una matanza de inocentes o la pasión religiosa de una Semana Santa en algún lugar del mundo. Jorge Zarza es uno de los reporteros con más prestigio internacional de México: sus coberturas respecto a un atentado terrorista, la tragedia humana ante un desastre natural o la voz rasgada de quienes sobreviven a un enfrentamiento armado confirman su rigor periodístico y su tenacidad para informar desde el lugar de los hechos. El destacado comunicador comparte en estas páginas qué hay detrás de cada reportaje, qué obstáculos deben superarse para informar desde el corazón de la catástrofe. Cuenta su experiencia terrible en Estados Unidos cuando asistió a la ejecución de un acusado mexicano; cuáles fueron las emociones captadas durante el rescate de los mineros en Chile en 2010; su dolor ante los cadáveres de mujeres, ancianos, niños, durante una matanza paramilitar; el rostro de la desolación después de los atentados de Atocha; cómo informar ante el legado sombrío de los huracanes Paulina o Jova. En estas páginas se encuentra la trayectoria de más de 25 años al servicio de la información: testimonios, anécdotas, confesiones, que el reportero asimila con profesionalismo para lograr la nota; el detalle de las horas de hambre y miedo en zonas de devastación, la ilusión en los rescates de vidas humanas, el fervor de los creyentes durante las visitas del Papa o las exigencias de los políticos, todo en un libro lleno de pasión e intenso amor al periodismo.
En la boca del lobo: La historia jamás contada del hombre que derrotó al cartel de Cali (Vintage Espanol Ser.)
by William C. Rempe¿Arriesgarías tu vida para salvar tu alma? La historia jamás contada del hombre que derrotó al cartel de Cali. Colombia, en los años noventa, era un país sumido en el caos con un gobierno débil que combatía a la guerrilla y a los narcotraficantes inmersos en una guerra liderada por Pablo Escobar y sus eternos rivales: los hermanos Rodríguez Orejuela, del cartel de Cali. Jorge Salcedo, ingeniero, oficial de la reserva del ejército, un hombre de negocios respetado, padre de familia, que despreciaba a Escobar, entró a formar parte del cartel de Cali para convertirse en el jefe de seguridad de uno de los capos. Salcedo pretendía ignorar la corrupción, la violencia y la brutalidad que lo rodeaba, y luchó por preservar su integridad con grandes dificultades, hasta que un día recibió una orden directa del padrino que no podía cumplir pero tampoco desobedecer. Salcedo comprendió entonces que suúnica salida era traicionar al sindicato del crimen más rico y poderoso de todos los tiempos, arriesgarlo todo e intentar derrotar a los de Cali en un juego a vida o muerte en el que eran muy pocas las posibilidades de ganar. William C. Rempel es el único reportero con acceso directo a Jorge Salcedo y a su historia. Salcedo vive escondido con su familia en algún lugar de Estados Unidos. Nadie, ni siquiera el autor, conoce su paradero. Reseñas:«Un thriller real de ritmo vertiginoso que acelera el corazón.»Kirkus Reviews «Bill Rempel se ha ganado la reputación de mejor reportero de investigación de América, y como los cronistas de antaño, consigue que la gente le cuente historias asombrosas que no revelaría a nadie más. En la boca del lobo pone de manifiesto la maestría de Rempel al desvelar con todo lujo de detalles los secretos de la sangrienta guerra de las drogas en Colombia a partir del testimonio directo de uno de sus principales protagonistas. Al final te das cuenta de que el mayor misterio es que Jorge Salcedo haya logrado sobrevivir el tiempo suficiente para poder contarle su vida a Rempel.»James Risen, autor de Estado de guerra «En este impactante y extraordinario trabajo de no ficción, William Rempel pone de manifiesto la importancia de los reportajes de investigación, logrando acceder a la persona que podría, y de hecho lo hizo, difundir los secretos que desmontaron un cartel tan poderoso como el de Cali. Rempel tiene una historia extraordinaria que contar. No solamente arrastra al lector al oscuro mundo de los carteles de drogas, sino que ofrece también el estudio fascinante de un personaje, un hombre que tendrá que responder a una pregunta terrible: ¿Debe arriesgar su vida para salvar su alma o mantener un pacto con el diablo?»David Grann, autor de La ciudad perdida de Z y El diablo y Sherlock Holmes

En sus trece: Prensa que irrita al poder (2011-2018)
by César Hildebrandt"Porque el periodismo es eso: tensar la cuerda, retar, obtener, tras arduos trabajos, la enemistad de los que cortan el jamón, los muchachos del big money. A mí que no me vengan con prensa sedante, prensa láudano, chicharrón de prensa, mustios collados. Solo la prensa que irrita al poder se salva de envolver pescado." De los muchos textos escritos en estos años para el semanario que lleva mi nombre -groserías del márqueting, demandas de la subsistencia-, pocos son los que resultan legibles con el paso del tiempo. La mayor parte perece en la fugacidad, en el chisporreo grasiento de lo banal. Ahora los leo y me doy cuenta de cuánto reincido en temas y obsesiones. El menú de mi neurosis podría abreviarse de esta manera: me disgusta el mundo tanto como antes, cuando era joven y creía que lo cambiaríamos. Los consejos de la edad no me han servido de nada. Sigo siendo paciente de la ira y está intacto, más lozano si cabe, mi amor por las causas perdidas. Vivo en un país que amo y me abate al mismo tiempo, y he visto caer a casi todos los dioses que fueron el hechizo olimpo de mi juventud. Pero eso no me ha conducido a la melancolía, felizmente. Cada día estoy más convencido de que mi deber es pelear por lo que creo. ¿Creer? Sí, por qué no. No está mal creer que algún día el mundo será verde y que el Perú admitirá el placer de la civilización. No está mal creer que el mundo se deshará de los políticos y reconocerá, a la fuerza, que el planeta merece mejores guías y más ciertos discursos. En el fondo, esa es la pelea. Contra lo que muchos creen, no venero el pesimismo. Admito que el Perú alienta todas las tristezas y los desalientos, pero jamás me entregué al lujo de los años sabáticos y las treguas clínicas. La peor desgracia del Perú son sus políticos. Y eso es algo que hemos permitido los peruanos. No fue el imperialismo el que nos impuso a Fujimori ni vinieron de fuera los alisios viciosos que nos han hecho renunciar, tantas veces, a la dignididad ciudadana. No es de extrañar que buena parte de de estos textos estén dirigidos al denuesto altisonante de quienes asumieron el poder y nos defraudaron. César Hildebrandt
