Conecta con los demás: La ciencia de influir en las personas
by Brian TracyEn estas páginas, Brian Tracy, experto mundial en temas de liderazgo y autoayuda, te muestra las leyes de la influencia y cómo obtener resultados increíbles tales como: relaciones personales más felices, mayores ventas, asociaciones más rentables y una mayor capacidad para cumplir tus compromisos y metas. Una de las habilidades más necesarias que todos debieran desarrollar es la de influir en los demás. Sin ella, las relaciones humanas son ineficaces en el mejor de los casos y desastrosas en el peor. Ya sea que trates de cerrar un negocio, una venta millonaria o simplemente intentes alentar a tus hijos o a un amigo a ser mejores, lo cierto es que si careces de la capacidad de influir no podrás convencer a nadie, ni siquiera a ti mismo. La mente es similar a una cerradura de alta seguridad. Si te comunicas mal (con charlas interminables, presiones o falta de empatía), te será imposible abrirla. En cambio, si aprendes a transmitir tus ideas de la manera adecuada, la cerradura se abrirá y descubrirá ante ti el tesoro de la conciencia a la que podrás ayudar y motivar para lograr tus mayores sueños.

No. Es cierto que la tecnología reduce las distancias, pero también aleja los sentimientos: revela con imágenes el mundo exterior pero deja un vacío en el mundo interior: Por eso es vital estar conectados con nosotros mismos, con los demás y con el Universo, y Gaby Vargas te dice cómo en este libro excepcional que transformará tu visión del mundo moderno y la percepción que tienes de ti mismo.

Confessions of a Funeral Director: How Death Saved My Life
by Caleb Wilde“Wise, vulnerable, and surprisingly relatable . . . funny in all the right places and enormously helpful throughout. It will change how you think about death.” —Rachel Held Evans, New York Times–bestselling author of Searching for SundayWe are a people who deeply fear death. While humans are biologically wired to evade death for as long as possible, we have become too adept at hiding from it, vilifying it, and—when it can be avoided no longer—letting the professionals take over.Sixth-generation funeral director Caleb Wilde understands this reticence and fear. He had planned to get as far away from the family business as possible. He wanted to make a difference in the world, and how could he do that if all the people he worked with were . . . dead? Slowly, he discovered that caring for the deceased and their loved ones was making a difference—in other people’s lives to be sure, but it also seemed to be saving his own. A spirituality of death began to emerge as he observed the family who lovingly dressed their deceased father for his burial; the nursing home that honored a woman’s life by standing in procession as her body was taken away; the funeral that united a conflicted community. Through stories like these, told with equal parts humor and poignancy, Wilde’s candid memoir offers an intimate look into the business of death and a new perspective on living and dying.“Open[s] up conversations about life’s ultimate concerns.” —The Washington Post“As a look behind the closed doors of the death industry, as well as a candid exploration of Wilde’s own faith journey, this book is fascinating and compelling.” —National Catholic Reporter“[A] stunner of a debut.” —Rachel Held Evans, author of Inspired
Confessions of a Happily Married Man: Finding God in the Messiness of Marriage
by Joshua L. RogersDiscover God in the messiness of your marriage, as popular marriage and family columnist Joshua Rogers offers spouses hope with real-life stories from his own marriage and helps you see how God is at work in the ordinary and extraordinary of your relationship.Confessions of a Happily Married Man is a husband's painfully honest account of his first ten years of marriage. It offers a window into the perspective of a man who went from "hello" to "I do" in nine months and then figured out how hard marriage could be. When Joshua Rogers thought back on the marriage books he had read or sermons about marriage he had heard, it occurred to him that he could only remember one thing about them: the stories. That's why this book is anchored by stories that other couples will relate to and can easily learn from. The stories are cringe-worthy, humorous, inspiring, heart-breaking, and full of wisdom--but the author isn't telling the reader what to do with that wisdom. He's letting the reader learn along with him as he's gradually becoming more self-aware, increasingly grateful for his wife, and surprised to discover what God is doing in the middle of it all.

Confessions of a Recovering Slut: & Other Love Stories
by Hollis GillespieConfessions of a Recovering Slut is the hilarious and often heartrending sequel to Bleachy-Haired Honky Bitch, which concludes with Hollis Gillespie, the daughter of a missile scientist and an alcoholic traveling trailer salesman, at last finding a home of her own. Unfortunately that home just happens to be in one of Atlanta's most dangerous crack neighborhoods—but the place is bound to improve, right?Wrong. Gillespie is plagued by missing human torsos, murdered policemen, and a drug dealer who keeps setting fire to her neighbor's house—and all this after Hollis discovers that she is inexplicably (except, maybe, for all that acrobatic sex) pregnant. While the neighborhood might have been fine when she was a child-free urban pioneer, it's a nightmare for a mother with nothing but cake pans to bulletproof the baby's room. Gillespie must depend on her three best friends, Daniel, Grant, and Lary, to help her—although Lary makes it no secret that he hopes the paint fumes she inhaled early in her pregnancy will cause the baby to be born inside out—"that way it'll be easier to sell for parts.""Will Gillespie ever feel safe? No matter, she's still Hollis at heart—and, as Lary points out, if not safe, at least "safe from ever being normal."
Confessions of an English Opium-Eater: And Suspiria De Profundis - Primary Source Edition
by Thomas De QuinceyA timeless memoir of drug addiction from one of the leading intellectuals of the Victorian age At first, Thomas De Quincey found opium to be a harmless pleasure. A twenty-year-old intellectual living in nineteenth-century London, De Quincey took laudanum sparingly, spacing out his doses so their effect would not be dulled. But after years of casual use, intense stomach pains caused him to rely on the drug more and more, until he was taking opium daily, and living in a world divided between hallucinatory bliss and aching physical torment. De Quincey&’s account of his addiction made him a celebrity. His rhapsodies of hallucination influenced generations of authors, from Poe and Baudelaire to Jorge Luis Borges, and warned countless readers of the dangers of drug dependency.

Confessions of the Pricing Man: How Price Affects Everything
by Hermann SimonThe world's foremost expert on pricing strategy shows how this mysterious process works and how to maximize value through pricing to company and customer. In all walks of life, we constantly make decisions about whether something is worth our money or our time, or try to convince others to part with their money or their time. Price is the place where value and money meet. From the global release of the latest electronic gadget to the bewildering gyrations of oil futures to markdowns at the bargain store, price is the most powerful and pervasive economic force in our day-to-day lives and one of the least understood. The recipe for successful pricing often sounds like an exotic cocktail, with equal parts psychology, economics, strategy, tools and incentives stirred up together, usually with just enough math to sour the taste. That leads managers to water down the drink with hunches and rules of thumb, or leave out the parts with which they don't feel comfortable. While this makes for a sweeter drink, it often lacks the punch to have an impact on the customer or on the business. It doesn't have to be that way, though, as Hermann Simon illustrates through dozens of stories collected over four decades in the trenches and behind the scenes. A world-renowned speaker on pricing and a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 executives, Simon's lifelong journey has taken him from rural farmers' markets, to a distinguished academic career, to a long second career as a n entrepreneur and management consultant to companies large and small throughout the world. Along the way, he has learned from Nobel Prize winners and leading management gurus, and helped countless managers and executives use pricing as a way to create new markets, grow their businesses and gain a sustained competitive advantage. He also learned some tough personal lessons about value, how people perceive it, and how people profit from it. In this engaging and practical narrative, Simon leaves nothing out of the pricing cocktail, but still makes it go down smoothly and leaves you wanting to learn more and do more--as a consumer or as a business person. You will never look at pricing the same way again.
The Confessions Project: 52 God-Given Promises to Declare Over Your Life
by Hanha HobsonWhen we put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), our only offensive weapon is the sword of the Spirit, which is God's Word. The Confessions Project is a devotional and movement to help believers declare God's promises over their lives because speaking God's truth helps activate our faith. It brings results and answers because God Himself said that His Word would not return empty to Him. We live in a world where insecurity, doubt, and fear run wild. But God has given us the weapons in our arsenal to fight life's challenges. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or scared, we can overcome any assault from the enemy with our speech for life and death lies in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Providing you with 52 God-given promises to declare over your life, The Confessions Project will help you recognize your authority in Christ and access the Word that is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, with the divine power to demolish strongholds.

Confianza Creativa. Cómo Liberar Tu Confianza, Ser Súper Innovador y Diseñar Tu Vida en 30 Días
by The BlokeheadLa confianza creativa suena a algún tipo de término caprichoso para algo pero, en realidad, hace referencia al nivel de confianza que una persona tiene cuando se trata de su propia creatividad. Por ejemplo, si tienes mucha confianza en tus habilidades creativas, entonces tienes mucha confianza creativa. Por otro lado, si crees que eres alguien sin habilidad artística, musical o para pensar más allá de lo establecido, entonces tu confianza creativa es, probablemente, muy baja. Como podrías hacer, virtualmente con cualquier cosa, el nivel de confianza creativa que tienes en tus habilidades está directamente relacionado a tu habilidad de lograr las cosas que quieres lograr. La mayoría de las veces, eres capaz de hacer exactamente lo que crees que puedes hacer. Por lo tanto, si crees que puedes hacer algo cuando se trata de ser creativo, probablemente puedes. Por lo mismo, si crees que no tienes habilidad creativa, probablemente experimentarás una falta de creatividad percibida porque te estás rindiendo antes de hacer cualquier intento creando algo. Esto lleva, a menudo, a realizar por completo una profecía. Para reiterar este punto, si tú crees que puedes hacer algo, es probable que lo hagas. Si crees que no puedes hacer algo entonces es muy probable que lo abandones antes de tener éxito

Confidence
by Tomas Chamorro-PremuzicWe're told that the key to success in life and business is confidence: believe in yourself, and the world is your oyster. But building confidence can be a challenging task. And, as leading psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic argues confidence can actually get in the way of achievement - self-esteem is nothing without the competence, the core skills, to back it up. Confidence is feeling capable. Competence is being capable. None of the figures whose success is put down to supreme self-belief - Barack Obama, Madonna, Muhammad Ali - could have achieved their goals without the hard-won skills (and years of training) behind the confidence mask. Successful people are confident because of their success, and not the other way around. Whether you want to improve your social skills, get a promotion or that all-important first job, this game-changing exploration of how to build success, in the mould of Robert Cialdini's Influence, Susan Cain's Quiet and Steven Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, will change the way you think about achievement.
Confidence: How Winning and Losing Streaks Begin and End
by Rosabeth Moss KanterFrom the boardroom to the locker room to the living room--how winners become winners . . . and stay that way. Is success simply a matter of money and talent? Or is there another reason why some people and organizations always land on their feet, while others, equally talented, stumble again and again? There's a fundamental principle at work--the vital but previously unexamined factor called confidence--that permits unexpected people to achieve high levels of performance through routines that activate talent. Confidence explains: - Why the University of Connecticut women's basketball team continues its winning ways even though recent teams lack the talent of their predecessors- Why some companies are always positively perceived by employees, customers, Wall Street analysts, and the media while others are under a perpetual cloud- How a company like Gillette or a team like the Chicago Cubs ends a losing streak and breaks out of a circle of doom- The lessons a politician such as Nelson Mandela, who resisted the temptation to take revenge after being released from prison and assuming power, offers for leaders in both advanced democracies and trouble spots like the Middle East From the simplest ball games to the most complicated business and political situations, the common element in winning is a basic truth about people: They rise to the occasion when leaders help them gain the confidence to do it. Confidence is the new theory and practice of success, explaining why success and failure are not mere episodes but self-perpetuating trajectories. Rosabeth Moss Kanter shows why organizations of all types may be brimming with talent but not be winners, and providespeople in leadership positions with a practical program for either maintaining a winning streak or turning around a downward spiral. Confidence is based on an extraordinary investigation of success and failure in compan

Confidence: Holding Your Seat through Life’s Eight Worldly Winds
by Ethan NichternHow do we stand firm amid the ups and downs of existence? In today’s culture of polarization and constant change, how do we find the confidence to navigate challenges? Is now really the time for meditation, for looking inward? What do we do with mindfulness? Meditation teacher Ethan Nichtern tackles these questions, taking contemporary considerations of power, identity, ethics, and confidence to new heights in this essential guide to self-discovery. Ethan examines the Buddhist concept of the Eight Worldly Winds, the four paired opposites of praise and blame, pleasure and pain, fame and insignificance, and success and failure. Delving into these dichotomies reveals invaluable insights into our relationships with others (including teachers, friends, leaders, the disgraced, and the adored) and ourselves. With transformative meditation exercises, Confidence empowers us to cultivate and access our innate wisdom.
