Por décadas, Debbie Ford ha ayudado a gente a liberarse del equipaje emocional que los mantiene rehenes de sus propios pensamientos. Cuando te falta confianza, te sientes indigno de aquello que quieres, de hablar con la verdad, de tomar decisiones que mejoren tu vida. Cuando te sientes débil, indefenso o incapaz, no tienes la fuerza necesaria para rechazar los pensamientos de fracaso, negatividad y miedo que te impiden vivir en armonía con tus deseos más profundos. Aunque en momentos de oscuridad lo dudes, hay dentro de ti suficiente coraje y valentía para transformar tu vida. Cuando te aceptas como eres, incluyendo tu historia, tus fallas, tus dudas, tus debilidades y tus miedos, descubres que lo que te mantiene atado y débil no es nada más que la ilusión del pasado. Cuando aprendes a ser seguro, a guiarte por tus fortalezas y a sentirte bien contigo mismo, un nuevo tú emerge con el poder de lograr todo lo que te propones. En Coraje Debbie Ford ofrece su trabajo más personal, poderoso y práctico; recorre su vida y plantea momentos en los que estuvo en la cuerda floja, en los que sus miedos disfrazaban su seguridad y su sonrisa ocultaba penas y dudas, hasta que decidió que su vida valía más que aquello que aparentaba felicidad: viajes alrededor del mundo, compras de lujo y vuelos en jets privados. Debbie Ford decidió romper la oscuridad de su espíritu y descubrió siete principios que ahora brinda a sus lectores. Estos principios te mostrarán la luz que dibuja un camino que te aleja de tus inseguridades y miedos para guiarte hacia la fuerza, el poder y la libertad del coraje que vive en ti.

Coraje: La alegría de vivir peligrosamente (Claves para una nueva forma de vivir #Volumen)
by Osho¡Desarrolla el coraje interno que te permita llevar una vida satisfactoria en cualquier situación! Este libro proporciona una perspectiva general del terreno en el que se originan los miedos, cómo entenderlos y cómo encontrar el coraje para vencerlos. «Coraje no es la ausencia de miedo», dice Osho. Por el contrario, es la total presencia del miedo y el valor para encararlo. Este libro proporciona una perspectiva general del terreno en el que se originan los miedos, cómo entenderlos y cómo encontrar el coraje para vencerlos. Osho propone que siempre que nos enfrentemos a la inseguridad y el cambio en nuestras vidas debemos celebrarlo. En lugar de aferrarnos a lo familiar y conocido, podemos aprender a disfrutar de estas situaciones como oportunidades para la aventura y para profundizar en la comprensión de nosotros mismos y del mundo que nos rodea. El libro comienza con una exploración en profundidad del significado de la palabra «coraje» y de cómo se expresa en la vida cotidiana de cada persona. A diferencia de otros libros, que tratan de acciones heroicas en circunstancias excepcionales, esta obra se centra en desarrollar el coraje interno que nos permita llevar una vida satisfactoria en cualquier situación. Es el coraje necesario para cambiar cuando el cambio es necesario, el coraje para defender nuestra propia verdad, incluso en contra de las opiniones de los demás, y el coraje para abrazar lo desconocido.

Corporate Explorer: How Corporations Beat Startups at the Innovation Game
by Charles A. O'Reilly Andrew Binns Michael TushmanCorporate Explorers Transform Disruption Into Opportunity With This Proven Framework Innovation used to be seen as a game best left to entrepreneurs, but now a new breed of corporate managers is flipping this logic on its head. These Corporate Explorers have the insight, resilience, and discipline to overcome the obstacles and build new ventures from inside even the largest organizations. Corporate Explorers are part entrepreneurs, using innovation disciplines to jump start cutting-edge ideas, and part change leaders, capable of creating support for investment. They see that corporations already own the ideas, resources, and—critically—the talent to build new ventures. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Bosch, LexisNexis, and Analog Devices enable managers to put these assets to use and gain an upper hand over startups that threaten to disrupt them. Corporate Explorer is a guidebook to the practices that enable these managers to go from idea into action. It demonstrates how success is not only possible but may offer entrenched companies better odds than venture-capital backed startups. This actionable and proven framework explains how managers can become successful corporate innovators; it includes tools to: Learn how to apply innovation practices with greater discipline Turn great ideas into a full-time job as an innovation leader Experiment with and scale original business models Transform innovation programs into a thriving source of new business Attract, retain, and motivate entrepreneurial talent Energize employees by creating a realistic way to innovate These lessons come from the trailblazers of corporate innovation—Andrew Binns (Change Logic), Charles O'Reilly (Stanford Graduate School of Business), and Michael Tushman (Harvard Business School)—who have decades of experience helping entrepreneurial-minded executives activate employees to become Corporate Explorers. Entrepreneurs take notice—it's time for Corporate Explorers to set the pace and chart the course for disruption.
