Matrícula de error: El camino creativo que lleva del error al éxito
by Gabriel García de OroUn manual de creatividad a partir de los errores. La experiencia, decía Oscar Wilde, es simplemente otra manera de llamar a nuestros errores. Sin embargo, por más que lo sepamos, el fracaso suele provocar un rechazo difícil de superar. Revisando el origen de algunas decisiones tomadas en el pasado, con toda seguridad comprobaremos que el miedo a equivocarnos, el «terror del error», fue el verdadero conductor de nuestros actos. En el ámbito laboral, donde es normal sentirse más vulnerable, estos temores se recrudecen y tienden a limitarnos, e incluso a coartar nuestra creatividad. En Matrícula de error, Gabriel García de Oro analiza este miedo a la libertad y nos aporta las claves para superarlo: desmonta las falsas asunciones, reevalúa los conceptos de éxito y fracaso, repasa algunos de los errores creativos más célebres, hasta poner de manifiesto que a veces nuestras mayores derrotas pueden constituir un éxito a largo plazo.
matrimonio vertical: Abraza el secreto que enriquecerá tu matrimonio
by Dave And Wilson John DriverEl matrimonio vertical relata en español, la experiencia y el viaje de la pareja hacia la sinceridad, el arrepentimiento, la perspectiva y, en última instancia, descubrir el secreto que puede transformar cualquier matrimonio en lo que Dios lo diseñó.La dolorosa y franca confesión de Ann a Dave respecto al verdadero estado de su matrimonio se produjo en el aparcamiento donde ellos pronto ayudarían a iniciar una nueva iglesia. Habían salido a celebrar su décimo aniversario de bodas.A pesar de los planes de Dave para que fuera una noche romántica, Ann expresó la profundidad de su desdicha que le había pasado inadvertida a su esposo, quien nunca sospechó el dolor de ella. A través de las lágrimas de Ann, Dave podía oír el susurro de la voz de Dios, que luchaba con sus propias palabras en un intento por defenderse.Cierra la boca y escucha.Lo que Dave oyó de labios de su amada esposa fue difícil de digerir, pero —tal y como iba quedando manifiestamente claro— ella tenía razón. Al estar iniciando Dave y Ann una iglesia, y al servir él como capellán de los Detroit Lions, su vida se había convertido en reuniones constantes, en estudios bíblicos, en consejería, en mentorías privadas y en viajes. Nunca estaba en casa, se esforzaba al máximo para servir a todos, pero estaba descuidando a Ann y a sus hijos. Ella sentía que él ya no interactuaba con ella en su matrimonio ni en la crianza de sus tres hijos pequeños.El enojo de Ann se transformó en amargura, hasta llegar al punto de que a ella ya no le importaba que él estuviera de viaje. Y el que David fuera completamente ajeno a sus problemas no ayudaba en nada; de modo que ella sentía que a él no le importaba. Este es un problema que muchos matrimonios afrontan de una forma u otra. Pero en medio de esta dolorosa conversación que podría haber puesto punto final a todo, Dios volvió a susurrarle a Dave.En el asiento delantero de su vetusto vehículo, Dave oró en voz alta y se arrepintió ante Dios al darse cuenta de que su relación con él se había enfriado ahora. Se arrepintió por no ser el esposo y el padre que Ann y sus hijos necesitaban. Dios iluminó su corazón con un sencillo secreto del matrimonio que, sin embargo, él había pasado por alto a menudo: solo se puede mantener una relación personal “horizontal” saludable entre un esposo y su esposa cuando la relación personal “vertical” con Cristo está viva y saludable.Lleno de autenticidad, humor, principios bíblicos y relatos contundentes, Dave y Ann revelan el plan de Dios para el matrimonio para todo aquel que está casado, se esté preparando para el matrimonio, o esté desesperado por salvar un matrimonio que se encuentra al borde del desastre. Esta pareja sincera e imperfecta (como el resto de nosotros) revela por qué el matrimonio es tan difícil... y mediante su propia narración personal de los altibajos matrimoniales, revelan el secreto elusivo para hallar y disfrutar del gozo y de la transformación relacional para los cuales Dios nos ha diseñado, con tanta gracia, a cada de uno de nosotros.
Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation
by Richard BartlettIn 1997, Dr. Richard Bartlett experienced an event that would redirect the entire course of his life. He suddenly discovered that by lightly touching his clients while at the same time applying focused intent, he could restore them to a physically, mentally, and spiritually balanced state, instantly shifting misalignments that had plagued them for years. Most astonishing of all, he could teach anyone how to do this. Now, for millions of people looking for empowerment in an age of declining and impersonal healthcare, Dr. Bartlett shares this phenomenon in a book full of explosive potential. In Matrix Energetics, Dr. Bartlett builds upon his popular seminars to teach us how to access the discovery he has made -- a process that merges the science of subtle energy with our innate imaginations to produce measurable results. By applying forces known to modern physics, each of us can tap into states of healthy awareness from different moments -- in essence, travel in time -- and bring them into the present for immediate, profound results. As Dr. Bartlett clearly shows, this practice requires no special training, produces transformation in the blink of an eye, and is available to everyone who has a willingness to learn. Matrix Energetics, The Science and Art of Transformation, provides an easily-reproducible, results-oriented process of change that draws on the fundamental principles embraced by the field of quantum physics. This paradigm-busting book can teach anyone how to access their creative power to heal and transform their lives. Dr. Richard Bartlett discovered that what he once thought about the human body was just the tip of the iceberg -- after seeing change beneath his hands, and hearing about the invisible transformations that were often revealed later -- he knew that he had to pass along what he had discovered.

Through this new understanding, readers learn that being “stuck” is only a phase—but one that we can only escape from once we understand the origin and role of human feeling.

A Matter Of Dignity: Changing the Lives of the Disabled
by Andrew PotokI realized that I needed to learn about the legislative and legal aspects of disability as much as I did about our feelings regarding wholeness, beauty and ugliness, about the state called normalcy, about liberating technologies and therapies, about the role of the disabled in history and literature. And what could better inform and enlighten me than contact with people who help create access, who elicit change via care, support, teaching, and study as their life's work? As it turned out, I have learned from them that, in spite of the American addiction to youthfulness, "normalcy," virility, activity, and physical beauty, diversity in all its forms provides not only fascination but strength. Diversity tends toward higher forms, uniformity toward dullness and extinction. What could make more sense than to value all that is diverse, unexpected, and exuberantly impure?

Maxed Out: American Moms on the Brink
by Katrina AlcornKatrina Alcorn was a 37-year-old mother with a happy marriage and a thriving career when one day, on the way to Target to buy diapers, she had a breakdown. Her carefully built career shuddered to a halt, and her journey through depression, anxiety, and insomnia-followed by medication, meditation, and therapy-began.Alcorn wondered how a woman like herself, with a loving husband, a supportive boss, three healthy kids, and a good income, was unable to manage the demands of having a career and a family. Over time, she realized that she wasn't alone. As she questioned other working moms, she realized that many women were struggling to do it all, crashing, and feeling as if they were somehow failing as a result.Mothers are the breadwinners in two-thirds of American families, yet the American workplace is uniquely hostile to the needs of parents. Weaving in surprising research about the dysfunction between the careers and home lives of working mothers, as well as the consequences to women's health, Alcorn tells a deeply personal story about "having it all," failing miserably, and what comes after. Ultimately, she offers readers a vision for a healthier, happier, and more productive way to live and work.

But mental exercise is just as essential to our health and well-being--especially when it comes to defending against forgetfulness, memory loss, and even dementia. These and other age-associated afflictions were once regarded as all but inevitable, but in fact, as this eye-opening, inspiring book shows, there is much we can do to protect ourselves as we grow older. With the right tools, we can all maximize our brainpower and keep our minds sharp, healthy, and cognitively fit throughout life.
