Ser distinto no es tan raro: Cómo tomarse la vida, la enfermedad y a uno mismo con mucho humor
by Felipe MateosUn testimonio de superación personal sobre cómo tomarse la vida, la enfermedad y a uno mismo con humor. «Si no me tomara todo lo que me ocurre y me ha ocurrido con humor, habría muerto (de asco) hace años». Hay veces en una vida en las que el mundo se detiene. Para los padres de Felipe Mateos, el mundo se detuvo el día en que nació. Porque Felipe había nacido con osteogénesis imperfecta. O, como se conoce popularmente: la enfermedad de los huesos de cristal. Ese día, sí, quizás el mundo se detuvo. Pero, pese al desconocimiento y a las incontables fracturas, ha seguido girando.Felipe Mateos nos demuestra en este libro que, a través del humor y el amor (dos cosas que no están tan alejadas como parece), podemos sacar fortaleza de nuestras debilidades. Porque un chiste, como nosotros mismos, a veces, tiene más fuerza de la que podemos sospechar.

La psicóloga y columnista Jeannette Torres, experta en relaciones de familia y madre de dos hijos, ha vivido en carne propia los malabares que la mujer moderna debe hacer para mantener el balance ¡sin perder la cabeza! Tan pronto como Jeannette fue madre, nacieron muchas preguntas: ¿Estaré haciendo un buen trabajo como mamá? ¿Estaré tomando las decisiones correctas para el desarrollo de mis hijos? ¿Estaré haciendo bien en dejarlos e irme a trabajar?

La educación: Cómo inculcar el respeto, ofrecerles una buena alimentación enseñarles a valorar el dinero y administrar el tiempo. Al final de cada uno de los temas que componen esos cincopilares, Jeannette ofrece consejos prácticos para que puedas aplicarlos en tu propia vida. "Este libro te ayudará a ver que no estás sola. Que no importa tu edad, cuántos hijos tengas, tu estado civil, o qué haces diariamente: encontrar el balance es una búsqueda constante y vivir en armonía con nosotras mismas es posible". -Jeannette Torres

Sermons by the Devil
by William Shuler HarrisThe part that Satan plays in the drama of a human life is often larger than a person will admit. Each one of us is not only acting, but we are constantly acted upon by one or the other of two great influences. The Good Spirit endeavors to lead us to the skies, and its angels are ever willing to minister to our real needs. The Evil Spirit, either openly or under cover, seeks to destroy our mind with the untruth by preaching to us his black sermons of death. Some of these sermons are short, others are longer, and at times they are delivered to us in the language of an angel with all the dignity that good scholarship might command.This volume was commenced with the purpose of tearing off his Satanic mask so that people might see more clearly the real source of these dark sermons. There are many people who, after yielding to temptation, will declare that they have acted independent of any evil influence. Satan is pleased to see a person rest in the shadow of such a delusion, but it is better for each one of us to know that either the good or evil spirit is seeking to be the guest of our thoughts, and it depends upon our attitude who will be entertained.We aimed to keep the book clean throughout, even though we tried to bring out the real character of the unclean Spirit. We have advanced only such arguments of Satan as he uses continually in his practical dealings with people. We were particular that none of the chapters should be a source of temptation, but that they might give Satan his proper setting more clearly in the minds of the reader, and thereby destroy the edge of his sword as much as possible.
Sermons on the Couch: A Year of Inspirational Reflections
by Cindy GentryA friendly and affirming collection of 52 secular essays with interactive journaling prompts for those seeking spiritual connection and comfort outside the confines of organized religion.In Sermons on the Couch, Cindy Gentry offers weekly sermons that meet people where they are—whether religious or spiritual, agnostic or atheist. Instead of references to deities, her lessons are placed in the context of a force in the Universe. Instead of Biblical quotes, she uses the wise words of celebrities, scientists, poets, and thinkers. Rather than traditional hymns, she closes each sermon with suggested popular songs from across genres. At the end of each Sermon, she offers journal questions to guide further contemplation of the weekly topic.For example, the book&’s opening sermon is titled &“Resolutions.&” To avoid the self-criticism that comes from not following through on resolutions, Cindy suggests reframing them into more general goals such as becoming a happier, healthier person, improving relationships, and making the world a better place. Journal questions prompt reflection on past experiences with resolutions and what the reader might do differently this year, and the hymn selection for this sermon is New Beginning, by Tracy Chapman.Writes Cindy, &“So, that is my mission. To enjoy a laugh and a song, but most of all, to remind people each week, despite the crazy ups and downs of life, that they are perfect in their imperfections, the Universe loves them unconditionally, and that we can hold on to each other.&”

Service Breakthroughs
by James L. Heskett W. Earl Sasser Christopher W. L. Hart Jr.What Do Citicorp, UPS and Marriott have in common? They are "breakthrough" service providers,firms that changed the rules of the game in their respective industries by consistently meeting or exceeding customer needs and expectations. To find out how these companies do it, service management experts James Heskett, Earl Sasser, and Christopher Hart put the question to the chief executive officers of fifteen of America's leading service firms attending a workshop at the Harvard Business School. Breakthrough leaders, they discovered, think very differently about their businesses than do their competitors, in distinct and well-defined ways. Now, in Service Breakthroughs, based upon five years of exhaustive research in fourteen service industries, Heskett, Sasser, and Hart show exactly what enables one or two companies in each industry to constantly set new standards for quality and value that force competitors to adapt or fail. At the heart of breakthrough performance, the authors contend, is a sometimes intuitive but thorough understanding of the "self-reinforcing service cycle" that replaces traditional management of "trade-offs." The "cycle" is a paradigm derived from the research results suggesting direct links between heightened customer satisfaction, increased customer retention, augmented sales and profit, improved quality and productivity, greater service value per unit of cost, improved satisfaction of service providers, increased employee retention, and further heightened customer satisfaction. With detailed examples and dramatic case studies of Mark Twain Bancshares, American Airlines, Florida Power & Light, Federal Express, McDonald's and many other companies, Heskett, Sasser, and Hart show how this self-reinforcing cycle of behavior differentiates breakthrough leaders from their "merely good" competitors. The authors describe how breakthrough managers develop counter-intuitive, even contrarian, strategic service visions. These companies define their "service concept" in terms of results achieved for customers rather than services performed. They target market segments by focusing on psychographics -- how customers think and behave -- instead of demographics. And instead of viewing a service delivery system as a facility where the service is produced and sold, breakthrough firms see it as an opportunity to enhance the quality of the service. These profound differences in thought and action have brought spectacular results. For managers who wish to set the pace in their service industries, Service Breakthroughs will be essential reading.

Service Leadership: How Having a Calling Makes the Workplace More Effective
by Theodore Malloch Richard J. GoossenWhat will motivate an organization’s employees to be fully engaged in the corporate purpose? How can a company be more supportive of each individual’s pursuit of workplace meaning? Service Leadership answers these questions and more. “Service leadership” is the recognition and cultivation of the varied interests and beliefs of employees on their quest for purpose at work. An organization will not get the most out of its staff unless it respects each individual’s framework for the pursuit of meaning, which is often done in the context of spirituality and religion. Service leadership takes many forms and is not the same for everyone. People can and want to learn how to become service leaders. Service Leadership shows how these ideas can be implemented through a detailed framework. Extensive research confirms that organizations that do not address the existing core belief systems of employees will be disadvantaged in the marketplace. Interviews with top executives at organizations like Whole Foods, Facebook, Gloria Jean’s Coffee, and Costco shed light on how both companies and employees can utilize service leadership to find and keep meaning in the workplace, improving both job happiness and performance.
