Del gin tonic a la meditación
by Beatriz Goyoaga«Llevaba un ritmo de frenesí, tacos altos y restaurantes de moda -dice Beatriz Goyoaga, coordinadora para Latinoamérica de El Arte de Vivir-. Para mí, los maestros espirituales se encontraban en las películas de artes marciales. Pero pude abrirme y cambiar, esperando algún día llegar a la meta. He guiado a presos, ministros, miembros de las FARC, terroristas, gente de la calle y científicos. Todos buscamos lo mismo: amor». Beatriz Goyoaga lo tenía todo: una pareja a la que amaba, una profesión (el periodismo) que la llevó a viajar, literalmente, por todo el mundo. Fue corresponsal de guerra y estuvo en contacto con líderes de varios países y estrellas del espectáculo. De casualidad, asistió a uno de los primeros cursos que El Arte de Vivir, fundado por Sri Sri Ravi Shankar y recién instalado en la Argentina. Y allí confirmó lo que una astróloga le había anticipado cinco años antes: su misión en esta vida era otra. «Llevaba un ritmo de frenesí, tacos altos y restaurantes de moda -dice Beatriz, hoy coordinadora para toda Latinoamérica de El Arte de Vivir-. Para mí, los maestros espirituales se encontraban solamente en las películas de artes marciales orientales. Pero pude abrirme y cambiar, esperando algún día alcanzar la meta. El Maestro es el hilo que te lleva al ovillo. Hace veintidós años que vengo comunicando los beneficios de la meditación y la respiración, que han dado un giro de 180 grados a mi vida. He guiado a presos y ministros; a miembros de las FARC y terroristas; a gente de la calle y a científicos. Todos buscamos lo mismo: amor».

Del otro lado del miedo: Cómo superar las adversidades para relacionarnos mejor
by Mario GuerraEl miedo no es tu enemigo, es un gran aliado que te avisa de peligros inminentes, no lo evadas, no lo niegues, no lo escondas: conócelo para vivir con certeza y plena libertad. ¿Qué es el miedo? ¿A qué le tememos más en esta vida: a la muerte, al abandono, al fracaso? ¿Por qué pensamos que el miedo es un monstruo al que debemos vencer? ¿Por qué mantenemos la creencia de que lo mejor es alejarnos del miedo? Con su inigualable amenidad e incuestionable información, Mario Guerra nos explica que los miedos nos acompañan toda la vida y es normal tenerlos, pero también afirma que muchas veces tanto mujeres como hombres crean miedos en realidades imaginarias, incluso los alimentan con pensamientos negativos y se vuelven presas de ideas falsas. Del otro lado del miedo repasa las características del origen real e imaginario de los miedos; revela cómo se asoma la ansiedad ante los temores,en qué momento el miedo puede ser tu mejor asesor emocional, por qué puede aterrorizarnos una araña y no cosas realmente peligrosas; en estas páginas se detalla qué son los miedos instintivos y de qué manera el miedo nos aleja de la felicidad, cómo afecta nuestras relaciones o se viste de arrogancia, ataque verbal o intransigencia. Con ejercicios infalibles para comprender y enfrentar nuestros miedos, este libro es una obra que rompe con numerosos tabúes e ideas falsas sobre la negatividad del miedo; a cambio nos invita a entrar en su esencia, analizarlo profundamente con intenciones positivas y cruzar esos umbrales que nos impiden llegar al otro lado, donde nos espera la felicidad.
Del sufrimiento al crecimiento
by Shulamit GraberNo es lo que te pasa, sino lo que haces con lo que te pasa. Después de una vivencia traumática únicamente hay dos caminos: o permites que ese dolor te consuma o te fortaleces a partir de ese evento para resignificar tu experiencia y darle un sentido. La experiencia vital de todo ser humano implica pasar por momentos duros, unos más que otros. Cuando un evento traumático sucede, no siempre tenemos las herramientas para poder resignificar nuestra vida , pero eso no se traduce a que no podamos hacerlo. Podemos convertir nuestras crisis y traumas en oportunidades de crecimiento si logramos encontrarles un sentido. Shulamit Graber es una experta en el tema. A partir de un doloroso secuestro, y como psicoterapeuta familiar, ha desarrollado un método para que después de algún suceso que nos sacuda -cualquiera que éste sea- podamos darle un nuevo valor a nuestra existencia. Del sufrimiento al crecimiento es un libro íntimo, fuerte y sabio en el que la autora, además de contarnos su experiencia, nos ofrece oportunidades. Como ella misma dice: «Nadie sana siendo la misma persona, la sanación es un viaje de transformación». La crítica ha dicho: «La capacidad de recuperarse y fortalecerse ante la adversidad fue lo que Shulamit mostró después de su cautiverio. Admiro cómo fue resiliente y se reinventó como mujer y terapeuta para ayudar a quienes viven experiencias límite, convirtiendo éstas en oportunidades de crecimiento. Atravesar por un suceso traumático te obliga a replantear tu vida entera, tus creencias, valores y, sobre todo, en quién quieres convertirte. Ella supo hacerlo con la excelencia que hoy la distingue: utilizó su tragedia como una fuente de fortaleza, luchando por conquistar día a día la mejor versión de sí misma. Asume lo vivido como un aprendizaje donde su fe y esperanza fueron sus mejores aliados. A raíz de su secuestro, y a lo largo de estos 12 años de trabajo terapéutico, Shulamit desarrolló un método para transitar del "caos al orden", una forma muy eficaz para elaborar, integrar y resignificar las crisis y experiencias traumáticas. Te admiro.» Martha Debayle «Leer la estremecedora historia de Shulamit me lleva a concluir que dominar el diálogo interno es la máxima conquista. Yo no sé si eso le salvó la vida, pero estoy segura de que controlando el ruido mental y eligiendo en qué enfocar los pensamientos podemos estar al mando en las circunstancias más adversas y salir adelante.» Gloria Calzada «Shulamit no ofrece una fórmula mágica; lo que sí nos ofrece es un método válido y eficaz para que logremos cuestionar y reflexionar sobre cada área de nuestras experiencias. Todo ello nos capacita para trasladar cada emoción, pensamiento y sentimiento al lugar adecuado... Ese lugar no es otro que el que está ubicado en lo más íntimo y profundo de nuestro corazón.» Sofía Sánchez Navarro

Delivering on the Promise: How to Attract, Manage and Retain Human Capital
by Brian FriedmanBusiness has long struggled with the notion of "human capital," but do companies really know the value of their people? All too frequently, companies lay off thousands of workers to boost share price while, at the same time, their annual reports promise that "people are our greatest asset!" Now, for the first time, human capital experts Brian Friedman, James Hatch, and David M. Walker show how companies can deliver on this promise. They reveal how Arthur Andersen's breakthrough five-stage framework, "Human Capital Appraisal," enables managers to measure, manage, and leverage their companies' investment in people. The authors describe specifically how managers can evaluate the current effectiveness of a firm's human capital strategies and the efficiency of its current Human Resources programs. They explain how to measure the amount of time and money management spends to recruit, develop, and manage human resources. Then they focus on how a firm can assess the return on this investment, minimize risk, and leverage the value of its human capital resources. Finally, the authors demonstrate how such leading companies as Colgate Palmolive, The Chicago Tribune, Mobil Oil, The Body Shop, Holy Cross Hospital, Hyatt Hotels, IBM, and British Petroleum are realizing the value of their people through human capital programs. This unique, proven, and proprietary methodology makes this invaluable book required reading for every chief executive, human resources director, and line manager.
Dellon's Account of the Inquisition at Goa (1812)
by Gabriel DellonDellon (1649-1709) was a French Roman Catholic physician who traveled in the Indies. In 1673 he provoked the jealousy of the Governor of Damao who, in league with authorities of the Portuguese Inquisition, arrested him and had him transported to Goa to face the Inquisitor. After two years of torture the Inquisition, deaf to Dellon’s pleas, confiscated all of his property and sentenced him to serve five years on the galleys. However, on arrival in Lisbon Dellon reopened and pleaded his case before the Grand Tribunal, who granted him his freedom. Even Catholic France—as evidenced by the King’s approval—became indignant at Inquisitional methods in this case. Dellon’s anonymous account of his misfortunes became very popular, and ran to many editions despite being placed on the Index of Prohibited Books in 1690. The first edition was published in Leiden in 1687, with no illustrations. The three full-page plates depict penitents accused of different crimes in their official regalia; the three folding plates illustrate the procession of the Inquisition into a church, the Inquisition in session within the church, and penitents being led from the church to be burned at the stake. Also with three engraved in-text vignettes and engraved printer’s mark on title page.
