Lorena Pronsky impuso un nuevo lenguaje en este libro, que lo convirtió clásico entre sus lectores. Rota se camina igual…
tiene un discurso fiel y contundente que nombra de forma precisa y lacerante las vivencias que todos, en algún momento de nuestra vida, atravesamos. Rota se camina igual es un libro no solo fue un éxito de ventas sino que también se instaló rápidamente como un clásico. Difícil de catalogar dentro de un género literario, Lorena Pronsky logra conmover al lector a través de un lenguaje disruptivo pero sencillo, a través de relatos que nos invitan a conectarnos con nuestras emociones. Apoyada en la herida como parte inevitable de la vida, nos muestra de qué manera podemos darles un nuevo destino a esos dolores que se nos imponen. En este viaje de reencuentro con nosotros mismos nos iremos identificando con las heridas de la pérdida, del abandono, del desamor, y así entender que siempre tendremos dos caminos para elegir: aferrarnos a ese dolor que nos deja en pausa, o bien comprender que asumir la realidad es el primer escalón para reinventarnos e iniciar una nueva etapa. Aceptar que estamos atravesados por tormentas que han dejado una marca indeleble nos enseña que "continuar" es una palabra que encierra todas las posibilidades aún desconocidas. Solo tenemos que tomar ese envión interior para darnos cuenta de que, a pesar de nuestras fisuras personales, rota se camina igual.

The perfect gift for new parents and grandparents this Mother’s Day: a bighearted book of wisdom, wit, and insight, celebrating…
the love and joy of being a grandmother, from the Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist and #1 New York Times bestselling author <P><P>“I am changing his diaper, he is kicking and complaining, his exhausted father has gone to the kitchen for a glass of water, his exhausted mother is prone on the couch. He weighs little more than a large sack of flour and yet he has laid waste to the living room: swaddles on the chair, a nursing pillow on the sofa, a car seat, a stroller. No one cares about order, he is our order, we revolve around him. And as I try to get in the creases of his thighs with a wipe, I look at his, let’s be honest, largely formless face and unfocused eyes and fall in love with him. Look at him and think, well, that’s taken care of, I will do anything for you as long as we both shall live, world without end, amen.” <P><P>Before blogs even existed, Anna Quindlen became a go-to writer on the joys and challenges of family, motherhood, and modern life, in her nationally syndicated column. <P><P>Now she’s taking the next step and going full nana in the pages of this lively, beautiful, and moving book about being a grandmother. <P><P>Quindlen offers thoughtful and telling observations about her new role, no longer mother and decision-maker but secondary character and support to the parents of her grandson. <P><P>She writes, “Where I once led, I have to learn to follow.” Eventually a close friend provides words to live by: “Did they ask you?” <P><P>Candid, funny, frank, and illuminating, Quindlen’s singular voice has never been sharper or warmer. With the same insights she brought to motherhood in Living Out Loud and to growing older in Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake, this new nana uses her own experiences to illuminate those of many others. <P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

This isn&’t a book about BECOMING it&’s about BEING: noted psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy shows how to imagine the person…
you want to be, then BE that person now. When you do this, your imagined FUTURE directs your behavior, rather than your past. Who is your Future-Self? That question may seem trite. But it&’s literally the answer to all of your life&’s questions. It&’s the answer to what you&’re going to do today. It&’s the answer to how motivated you are, and how you feel about yourself. It&’s the answer to whether you&’ll distract yourself on social media for hours, whether you&’ll eat junk food, and what time you get up in the morning. Your imagined Future-Self is the driver of your current reality. It is up to you to develop the ability to imagine better and more expansive visions of your Future-Self. Your current view of your Future-Self is very limited. If you seek learning, growth, and new experiences, you&’ll be able to imagine a different and better Future-Self than you currently can. It&’s not only useful to see your Future-Self as a different person from who you are today, but it is also completely accurate. Your Future-Self will not be the same person you are today. They will see the world differently. They&’ll have had experiences, challenges, and growth you currently don&’t have. They&’ll have different goals and priorities. They&’ll have different habits. They&’ll also be in a different world—a world with different cultural values, different technologies, and different challenges.

Practical support for challenging paranoid thoughts.Paranoia is the experience of feeling strongly suspicious or mistrustful about something, when others around…
us do not feel there is a good enough reason to feel that way. It can involve us believing that others are trying to harm us, are talking about us or laughing about us. The beliefs can be very strong, and people who are experiencing paranoia can feel that they are absolutely true, beyond a shadow of a doubt. Even if we have an awareness that our paranoia might not be entirely based in reality, the experience can be incredibly distressing, and can have a major impact on our quality of life.This essential self-help guide, based on the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), gives clear advice for understanding, recognising and challenging the suspicious thoughts and beliefs that are getting in the way of your day to day life. It will help you find ways to practice good self-care, to rest and to ground yourself so that you aren't overwhelmed and isolated by suspicious thoughts.

"In Do Hard Things, Steve Magness beautifully and persuasively reimagines our understanding of toughness. This is a must-read for parents…
and coaches and anyone else looking to prepare for life's biggest challenges." — Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers and Talking to Strangers and host of the Revisionist History podcast From beloved performance expert, executive coach, and coauthor of Peak Performance Steve Magness comes a radical rethinking of how we perceive toughness and what it means to achieve our high ambitions in the face of hard things. Toughness has long been held as the key to overcoming a challenge and achieving greatness, whether it is on the sports field, at a boardroom, or at the dining room table. Yet, the prevailing model has promoted a mentality based on fear, false bravado, and hiding any sign of weakness. In other words, the old model of toughness has failed us. Steve Magness, a performance scientist who coaches Olympic athletes, rebuilds our broken model of resilience with one grounded in the latest science and psychology. In Do Hard Things, Magness teaches us how we can work with our body – how experiencing discomfort, leaning in, paying attention, and creating space to take thoughtful action can be the true indications of cultivating inner strength. He offers four core pillars to cultivate such resilience: Pillar 1- Ditch the Façade, Embrace Reality Pillar 2- Listen to Your Body Pillar 3- Respond, Instead of React Pillar 4- Transcend Discomfort Smart and wise all at once, Magness flips the script on what it means to be resilient. Drawing from mindfulness, military case studies, sports psychology, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, he provides a roadmap for navigating life's challenges and achieving high performance that makes us happier, more successful, and, ultimately, better people.
