Domine sus Hábitos: Cómo Piensan y Actúan las Personas Exitosas
by Adidas WilsonSiempre va a escuchar a las personas buscando excusas, quejándose y diciendo que no nacieron con el talento necesario para triunfar y tener éxito. Aunque es cierto que hay personas que por naturaleza tienen, en algunos aspectos, ventajas sobre los demás, lo cierto es que alcanzar el éxito en algo se reduce a comprometerse y tomarse el tiempo para adquirir y dominar las habilidades que sean necesarias. De hecho, aunque se tenga talento, este no es más que el punto de partida. Nadie niega que el talento natural exista. Hay ventajas genéticas, especialmente cuando se trata de la capacidad física de una persona. Sin embargo, para la mayoría, el éxito no siempre es el resultado de una competencia física. La mayoría solo quieren hacer algo y ser buenos en lo que están haciendo. Quieren ganar un salario decente mientras hacen algo que los llene –y todo esto para tener una vida cómoda. Toda persona exitosa que vea ha tenido que trabajar duro para llegar a donde ha llegado; desde el medallista olímpico hasta el músico de fama mundial ¿Desea tener éxito? Bueno, deje de ponerse límites. "Para ser una estrella, debe brillar con luz propia, seguir su propio camino y no preocuparse por la oscuridad. Es en la oscuridad donde las estrellas brillan con más intensidad". −Napoleón Hill

The Don: 36 Rules of the Bosses
by RJ Roger Joost ElffersFrom Cosa Nostra expert RJ Roger and publishing genius Joost Elffers comes a riveting history of the Mafia in America, the undeniable sweep and power of the Five Families, and their Machiavellian strategies—all condensed into an electrifying guidebook for understanding and harnessing the Mafia&’s philosophy of successfully rising within any hierarchy (legally, of course). A captivating history of the Mafia in America as well as an illuminating breakdown of the formidably effective—indeed ruthless—success strategies of the infamous Five Families that ruled, for anyone who&’s ever wondered what it takes to be a boss.The Don: 36 Rules of the Bosses is the fascinating culmination of author RJ Roger's extensive research into the Italian-American Cosa Nostra. Analyzing more than 100 years of underworld history, Roger has distilled the behavior of the bosses of the five New York Mafia families—the most powerful in the United States—into 36 rules. Unwritten until codified in The Don, these rules were the foundation of the bosses&’ success for over a century. Created in collaboration with Joost Elffers, the producer behind Robert Greene&’s international bestseller The 48 Laws of Power, Roger&’s The Don: 36 Rules of the Bosses details the history of the American Mafia. More important, it elucidates the strategies by which the bosses of the Five Families achieved and held power. Many of these leaders were devotees of Niccolò Machiavelli's treatise The Prince, a manual for would-be rulers written in 1513 and still read today by power brokers of many kinds around the world. Understanding the influence of this book on the most successful Mafia bosses, and also applying his expertise in contemporary business practices and his deep knowledge of America&’s underworld, Roger has identified 36 rules common to them all. In The Don, he explains these rules in ways that will be useful to any reader hoping to gain power, whether personally, politically, or in business.

¿Donde lo has puesto? Esperanza Retrasada
by Pensacola Helene JeffersonUna carrera de relevos es una competencia, de algún tipo, en la que dos o más participantes forman un equipo y se turnan para completar, realizar o terminar la parte requerida de una carrera establecida contra otro equipo de concursantes. Por ejemplo, un tipo de carrera de relevos tiene cuatro participantes en un equipo y se les llama velocistas. Cada velocista corre, su preestablecido, pero a la misma distancia o pierna, portando una batuta, y luego pasa la batuta al siguiente corredor en la zona de intercambio. “… Sigo adelante para llegar al final de la carrera y recibir el premio celestial para el cual Dios, a través de Cristo Jesús, nos está llamando…” (Filipenses 3:14 NTV). Sin embargo, en un relevo combinado SPRINT, algunos participantes, en el mismo equipo, pueden correr distancias o piernas más largas o más cortas antes de pasar el testigo. Independientemente de la distancia o tramo que recorra cada velocista, el testigo debe cambiarse en una zona predeterminada y pasar al siguiente corredor para que el equipo TERMINE la carrera, de acuerdo con las reglas. “… Aférrate a la palabra de vida; entonces, en el día del regreso de Cristo, estaré orgulloso de no haber corrido la carrera en vano y de que mi trabajo no fue inútil… ”(Filipenses 2:16 NTV). Un equipo es descalificado si el testigo se pierde, se deja caer, se deja o se cambia incorrectamente de un velocista a otro. El último velocista en la posición final se llama ANCLA y generalmente es el participante MÁS RÁPIDO, MEJOR o con más EXPERIENCIA del EQUIPO. “… ¿No sabéis que los que corren en una carrera todos corren, pero solo uno recibe el premio? Corre de tal manera que puedas ganar… ”(1 Corintios 9:24 NTV). Básicamente, el ANCLA tiene la responsabilidad de ponerse al día o recuperar el tiempo perdido o cualquier deficiencia de los otros miembros del EQUIPO LLEVÁNDOLOS a la LÍNEA DE META. “… He pelead
Donde vive el asombro: Prácticas para cultivar lo sagrado en la vida cotidiana
by Fabiana FondevilaNueve estaciones de un mapa imaginario que nos invitan a ir por donde nunca fuimos, a retomar donde dejamos, o simplemente a reavivar la alegría de estar aquí. Con prácticas de mindfulness y meditación, pautas para comprender el lenguaje de los pájaros, ejercicios para transformar lo que nos aqueja y una guía para elaborar ritos propios y ceremonias. Este libro propone un mapa imaginario de nueve estaciones. En cada una, nos esperan prácticas para explorar dimensiones esenciales de la vida. Todas nacen de la misma intuición: si el misterio existe, está presente en todas partes; si el amor es nuestra verdadera naturaleza, no tenemos que salir a buscarlo sino aprender a hacer silencio y dejarlo aflorar. El mapa del asombro nos invita a ir por donde nunca fuimos, a retomar donde dejamos, o simplemente a reavivar la alegría de estar aquí, compartiendo el recorrido. No hay un premio al final del camino; el premio es cada paso. Y en esto consiste: despabilar la mirada, despertar los oídos, respirar hondo, enloquecer de amor por el mundo pródigo y salvaje. Y, como piratas de buen corazón, devolver el tesoro en cuya búsqueda partimos. «Cuando comiences a leer este libro, prepárate para realizar un viaje diferente de cualquier otro viaje que hayas realizado. En este viaje no caminarás, ni montarás, ni volarás; bailarás.»Hermano David Steindl-Rast, Orden de San Benito
Done: How to Flourish After Leaving Religion (APA LifeTools Series)
by Daryl R. Van TongerenThis book draws from cutting-edge psychological research to provide advice for people who are undergoing religious change. Americans today are leaving religion in record numbers. For many, the faith, practices, and institutions that once provided comfort and guidance no longer fit their beliefs and values. This shift often comes with a price, however. While turning away from religion can bring about freedom, awe, and wonder, it can also engender a profound loss of meaning, purpose, community, and identity. It can threaten our relationships with friends and family. And it can pose a significant challenge to the mental health of even the most resilient among us. How can people who are no longer served by traditional religion find new meaning and purpose? How can they process the grief that often accompanies religious or spiritual change? And how can they address challenging interpersonal relationships with people who do not support or understand their religious change? In this book, psychologist Daryl Van Tongeren draws from psychological theories and research to examine the emotional and social processes involved with religious change and offers science-based guidance for building a new life—with or without religion. If you are rethinking your religious beliefs, have experienced religious loss or struggle, or have undergone a significant religious change, you are not alone. By understanding how people before us have left or transformed their religion, we can discover new ways of finding peace, experiencing meaning, and, if desired, engaging with the transcendent. Let their wisdom—and this book—be your guide.

by Brené BrownLíbrate de quien crees que deberías ser y abraza a quien realmente eresLos dones de la imperfección trata de ese viaje que es nuestra vida y que nos lleva desde el "¿qué pensará de mí la gente?" hasta el "yo soy suficiente tal cual soy".

Es el camino de toda una vida. Es el trabajo del alma.» Brené Brown, del prefacio.

Don't Be That Girl: A Guide to Finding the Confident, Rational Girl Within
by Travis L. StorkDon't worry. This is not that book. Travis Stork, the handsome and charismatic star of The Bachelor: Paris, has chalked up more dating experience than most men could claim in a lifetime. As an ER doctor, he's also an expert on the psychological and physiological factors involved in mental and emotional well-being. In Don't Be That Girl, he combines his personal experience and professional expertise to help you demystify the self-defeating behaviors that characterize that girl -- behaviors that unfortunately, even if unintentionally, prevent many women from getting the most from their lives and relationships. Don't Be That Girl cuts to the heart of what makes a woman cross into that girl territory and the red flags that tip guys off to the possibility that, yikes, they may be dating that girl. So who is that girl, exactly? She defies a simple definition. She may be the chameleon who turns into a completely different person the second a guy walks into the room. She could be the girl with the ironclad agenda that she's held to dearly since her first encounter with Modern Bride (and she'll do anything to make sure her plan materializes). Or she's the consummate "yes" girl who is always going along with his every wish. If she's not saying yes, she might very well be a drama queen who is always saying no because she can't seem to live without conflict. Then again, she might not be dramatic at all, just miserable inside, wearing her anger and bitterness as a badge of honor. In short, she's the girl who's trying fruitlessly to be someone she's not -- who's falling victim to the common pitfalls and patterns that lead to that girl behavior -- rather than believing in herself, following her passions, and maintaining healthy priorities. But Don't Be That Girl isn't all cautionary tales and bad news. Often, the same traits that make a woman that girl are the traits that, at their core, are her biggest strengths -- if she only knew how to refocus them. By drawing attention to and celebrating these positive attributes, Dr. Stork reveals how to cultivate and take advantage of them in ways that will lead you to the confidence and happiness that you deserve. Whether you are in a relationship, hopelessly searching, or somewhere in between, this book will arm you with practical insights so you will never again have to ask yourself, Is it me or is it him?

Don't Believe Everything You Think: Living with Wisdom and Compassion
by Thubten ChodronIt can be hard for those of us living in the twenty-first century to see how fourteenth-century Buddhist teachings still apply. When you're trying to figure out which cell phone plan to buy or brooding about something someone wrote about you on Facebook, lines like "While the enemy of your own anger is unsubdued, though you conquer external foes, they will only increase" can seem a little obscure. Thubten Chodron's illuminating explication of Togmay Zangpo's revered text, The Thirty-seven Practices of Bodhisattvas, doesn't just explain its profound meaning; in dozens of passages she lets her students and colleagues share first-person stories of the ways that its teachings have changed their lives. Some bear witness to dramatic transformations--making friends with an enemy prisoner-of-war, finding peace after the murder of a loved one--while others tell of smaller lessons, like waiting for something to happen or coping with a minor injury.
Don't Blink: The Life You Won't Want to Miss
by John Merritt&“Don&’t Blink is a call to life we not only need, but also hunger for—a call to go beyond survival to full-fledged life. It will be a gift to your spirit&” (John Ortberg, Senior Pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church and author of All the Places to Go). For the record, there is no eleventh commandment that says, &“Thou shalt not enjoy life.&” Nor does God ever say, &“My plan for you is to be miserable on earth until you arrive in heaven.&” Rather, the earth reflects a joyful Creator who gives us his creation for our pleasure. Don&’t Blink is for procrastinators, dreamers, and would-be adventurers who wish to grab hold of life this day, knowing there are no guarantees about someday. From Alaska to Argentina to the Amazon—in situations ranging from dangerous to humorous—John Merritt takes you on a daring pilgrimage revealing what living in the moment looks like. John demolishes the notion that once you become a Christian your freedoms are gone and your fun is done. Life is an extraordinary adventure elevated to audacious heights when God is leading the charge. Whether on the other side of the world or in your own backyard, you will be inspired to squeeze more joy out of the life God has given you. &“John Merritt has an extraordinary zest for life and a great gift for storytelling. In Don&’t Blink he weaves his personal stories together with God&’s scripture in a way that motivates and illustrates what it means to live life to the fullest, and to live it with God at the center of everything.&” —Larry Osborne, Senior Pastor of North Coast Church, and author of Thriving in Babylon
Don't Bring Home a White Boy: And Other Notions that Keep Black Women From Dating Out
by Karyn Langhorne FolanFolan encourages readers to look beyond common generalizations and stereotypes about race and gender in interracial relationships.In Don&’t Bring Home a White Boy, writer Karyn Langhorne Folan debunks the myths and common preconceptions about interracial relationships: Is a black woman who dates white men a traitor to her race? And is America&’s history of black oppression a factor? Drawing on real-life testimonials, she boldly tackles this difficult subject with warmth, humor, and understanding, as she explores stereotypes of black female sexuality and white male perspectives on black female beauty. Folan goes beyond statistics and offers firsthand insights on her own interracial relationship and attempts to tap into a woman&’s desire to have all that they deserve instead of restricting themselves, simply because they want a &“good black man.&” Frank, authoritative, and universally relevant, her message to women is to look beyond skin color, accept themselves for who they are, and seek a man who truly loves them, regardless of race.

Don't Burn This Book: Thinking for Yourself in an Age of Unreason
by Dave RubinThe Progressive Woke Machine—from outrage mobs and online censorship to activists masquerading as journalists—is waging war against the last free thinkers in the world. This book is both an explanation of the current political upheaval and your guide to surviving it.America, and the West in general, is in the midst of an identity crisis that's headed towards an outright revolution. The progressive left, once the advocates of free expression and individual autonomy, now undermine these values at every turn. This uncomfortable truth has turned moderates and true liberals into the politically homeless class. In response, Dave Rubin launched his political talk show The Rubin Report in 2015 as a laboratory for anyone trying to make sense of our shifting political landscape. He discusses the most controversial issues of the day with people he both agrees and disagrees with, including those who have been dismissed, deplatformed, and even despised before they've had a chance to speak for themselves. Based on his own story as well as his experiences from the front lines of the free speech wars, this book will inspire you to make up your own mind about what you believe on any issue, and show you how to: * Check your facts, not your privilege: No matter your gender, economic class, or level of education, you're still allowed to have opinions (for now!). Rubin separates facts from feelings, dispelling today's most pervasive myths, like the wage gap, gun violence, racism, affirmative action, climate change, hate crimes, and more. * Learn to stand your ground: A difference of opinion should not be a deal-breaker for any relationship, professional or personal. Sadly, these days, it often is. Rubin will show you that losing a few friends is a small price to pay for standing up for what you believe in--and why choosing an authentic path is ultimately worth it. * Defend liberalism while you still can: Time is running out to defend individual rights, limited government, and free expression. Rubin provides a roadmap for true classically liberal principles regardless of your party affiliation, and shows you why freedom is impossible without them. Don't Burn This Book empowers you with time-tested and common-sense principles that can turn the tide against authoritarians on both sides in this increasingly polarized world. This book is a rallying cry for anyone who wants to live freely, which is quickly becoming the most radical belief you could have.
