Quicksand: What It Means to Be a Human Being
by Henning MankellA stunning and poignant autobiographical look at the myriad experiences that shape a meaningful life, by the bestselling author of the Kurt Wallander mysteries. In January 2014, Henning Mankell received a diagnosis of lung cancer. Quicksand is a response to this shattering news—but it is not a memoir of destruction. Instead, it is a testament to a life fully lived, a tribute to the extraordinary but fleeting human journey that delivers both boundless opportunity and crucial responsibility. In a series of intimate vignettes, Mankell ranges over rich and varied reflections: of growing up in a small Swedish town, where he experiences a startling revelation on a winter morning as a young boy; of living hand-to-mouth during a summer in Paris as an ambitious young writer; of his work at a theater in Mozambique, where Lysistrata is staged in the midst of civil war; of chance encounters with men and women who changed his understanding of the world. Along the way, Mankell ponders the meaning of a good life, and the critically important ways we can shape the future of humanity if we are fortunate enough to have the choice. Vivid, clear-eyed, and breathtakingly beautiful, Quicksand is an invaluable parting gift from a great man.

¿Quién te enseña a vivir?: Un manual para la vida
by Martha Flores Andrés Flores ColombinoUn texto para padres e hijos y familias que necesiten incorporar y trabajar las Virtudes. Es un testimonial de integración de profesiones (medicina y psicología), miradas de vida, formas de decir y diferencias generacionales que se unifican en un solo libro. <P><P>¿Quién nos enseña a vivir? Una misión didáctica misteriosa que, cuando niños, pensamos que seguramente les corresponda a nuestros padres; luego nos vamos resignando a su limitada humanidad y terminamos aprendiendo #es un decir# mientras damos nuestros propios tumbos por la vida. Hay, sin embargo, una ruta de viaje que se encuentra en el interior de cada uno de nosotros (como fractales que somos, unidades completas que incluyen en sí totalidades mucho más amplias, como la familia o la especie humana), y que este libro nos va desmenuzando en sus escalas y estaciones de un modo tan práctico como profundo. <P>Martha Flores une, hilvana y borda su colcha de retazos de familia en un potente diálogo con los recorridos reflexivos de su propio padre, Andrés Flores Colombino, más sus personales siembras, transformaciones y cosechas como escritora a partir de este proceso. Y no por casualidad estos tres estadios de nuestros periplos de transformación y crecimiento que el libro nos invita a descubrir apuestan por imágenes agrícolas: somos a partir del árbol familiar, de sus raíces, nos articulamos en él y a veces hasta damos frutos. Esta es una de esas ocasiones: una hermosa cosecha de padre e hija creando algo nuevo con sus dones individuales y familiares. Para nosotros, los lectores, la oportunidad de recibir este libro como siembra fértil sobre los surcos, prontos por el arado de nuestro potencial aún no explorado, y saludar los brotes, el alimento por venir. Todo un manual para la vida.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking (Platinum Nonfiction Ser.)
by Susan CainThe book that started the Quiet RevolutionAt least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society. In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts—from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content

Quiet Is a Superpower: The Secret Strengths of Introverts in the Workplace
by Jill Chang&“A must-have book for today's quiet warriors.&”—Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet and Quiet Power and cofounder of Quiet Revolution How does a self-described "extreme introvert" thrive in a world where extroverts are rewarded and social institutions are set up in their favor? Using her extraordinary personal story as a "case study of one," author Jill Chang shows that introverts hold tremendous untapped potential for success. Chang describes how she succeeded internationally in fields that are filled with extroverts, including as an agent for Major League Baseball players, a manager of a team across more than twenty countries, and a leading figure in international philanthropy. Instead of changing herself to fit an extroverted mold, she learned to embrace her introversion, turning it from a disadvantage to the reason she was able to accomplish great goals and excel in tasks that her extroverted peers missed. She offers advice on the best jobs for introverts, overcoming the additional difficulties language and cultural barriers can present, thriving at social events and business presentations, leveraging the special leadership traits of introverts, and much more. Part memoir and part career guide, this book gives introverts the tools to understand how they can form relationships, advance in the career path, excel in cross-cultural workplaces, and navigate extroverted settings without compromising comfort or personality.
The Quiet Light: A Novel of St. Thomas Aquinas
by Louis WohlThe famous novelist Louis de Wohl presents a stimulating historical novel about the great St. Thomas Aquinas, set against the violent background of the Italy of the Crusades. He tells the intriguing story of St. Thomas who—by taking a vow of poverty and joining the Dominicans—defied his illustrious, prominent family’s ambition for him to have great power in the Church.The battles and Crusades of the 13th century and the ruthlessness of the excommunicated Emperor Frederick II play a big part in the story, but it is Thomas of Aquino who dominates this book. De Wohl succeeds notably in portraying the exceptional quality of this man, a fusion of mighty intellect and childlike simplicity. A pupil of St. Albert the Great, the humble Thomas—through an intense life of study, writing, prayer, preaching and contemplation—ironically rose to become the influential figure of his age, and he later was proclaimed by the Church as the Angelic Doctor.As in all of his novels about great saints of the church, Louis de Wohl weaves an intricate colorful tapestry of love, violence and piety to bring to life a tremendous historical figure and the fascinating period in which he lived.Louis de Wohl was a distinguished and internationally respected Catholic writer whose books on saints have been best-sellers worldwide. Other available titles include Lay Siege to Heaven, Set All Afire and Citadel of God. Sixteen of his books were made into films.

Quiet the Rage: How Learning to Manage Conflict Will Change Your Life (and the World)
by R.W. BurkeIn a world with more than 7 billion people, 196 countries, 7,000 spoken languages, and close to 30 religions, the probability of one group or one person intentionally or unintentionally offending another group or another person is absolutely certain. Many people limit themselves in life based on their inability to get along with others, and too often we allow ourselves to be ruled by our emotions. When we&’re emotionally reactive, we&’re not our best selves, nor do we produce the smartest outcomes. Emotional reactions create winners and losers. And winning directly at the expense of another is actually losing in disguise, due to the resentment it inspires in the loser. Often, people get stuck in a pattern of reacting emotionally, long past the time when the combativeness that once served them no longer does; long past the time when the pattern has become destructive without them being aware of it. For everyone who wants to change that part of themselves—everyone who wants more peaceful interactions and more successful outcomes, but doesn&’t know how to achieve that—Quiet the Rage is the answer.
