mismo. Jorge está a punto de arrancar el maratón de Monterrey, con el sueño de romper su récord personal, pero lo que no sabe es que la carrera no lo llevará a ninguna gloria, sino al infierno de los corredores. En este libro recorrerás Barcelona, San Petersburgo, Monterrey, París y Atenas, mientras te adentras en los espejismos de la mente, demonios en forma de lesiones y hocicos voladores, kilómetros de melancolía, millas de resignación, senderos de trabajo ciego, faros imaginarios, mensajeros atemporales, batallas épicas y puentes de amistad. Será una travesía en la que descubrirás ciudades del mundo y lugares dentro de ti mismo, que te conducirá a hitos de tu propia historia, retará tus sueños y te mostrará caminos para vencer a los demonios que hoy enfrentas. Maratones del Infierno es un mapa de la noche oscura del alma, lo que convierte a este libro en un mensaje esencial para una época donde personas y humanidad estamos buscando respuestas en un territorio desconocido.

No estás exagerando. El dolor de un corazón roto es paralizante y nos puede robar la vida entera. No se…
trata de «echarle ganas» ni tampoco de «darle tiempo al tiempo». Se trata de que aprendas a sanar y recuperes tu capacidad de sentir. Con un tono empático muy particular, Esther Iturralde —life coach espiritual y creadora del podcast Reinvéntate— te tiende la mano para que el fracaso no te detenga. A partir del reflejo en distintas historias y reflexiones, este libro no sólo te ayudará a soltar a tu Ex y a elevar tu amor propio, también te incitará a validar tus emociones y retomar el poder creativo que te permita manifestar la vida que quieres y el amor que deseas. Síndrome de un corazón roto no es un proceso de olvido, sino de aprendizaje, que servirá de catapulta para que te conviertas en la persona que siempre estuviste destinada a ser: plena, abundante y magnética. Para que cuando te sientas más fuerte puedas decir que lo peor que te ha pasado es lo mejor que te ha pasado. «Síndrome de un corazón roto no es un cuento de hadas, es una historia real para dar el salto de fe y creer en ti. Más que una travesía, es una invitación a renacer.» MARIA LAURA RAINER

How to release productivity guilt and embrace the hidden values in our daily lives.Any given day brings a never-ending list…
of things to do. There&’s the work thing, the catch-up thing, the laundry thing, the creative thing, the exercise thing, the family thing, the thing we don&’t want to do, and the thing we&’ve been putting off, despite it being the most important thing. Even on days when we get a lot done, the thing left undone can leave us feeling guilty, anxious, or disappointed. After five years of searching for the secret to productivity, Madeleine Dore discovered there isn&’t one. Instead, we&’re being set up to fail. I Didn&’t Do the Thing Today is the inspiring call to take productivity off its pedestal—by dismantling our comparison to others, aspirational routines, and the unrealistic notions of what can be done in a day, we can finally embrace the joyful messiness and unpredictability of life.For anyone who has ever felt the pressure to do more, be more, achieve more, this antidote to our doing-obsession is the permission slip we all need to find our own way.

Osho nos muestra el camino para eliminar los obstáculos que han sido colocados en el recorrido de nuestra intuición, de…
modo que esta pueda florecer y proporcionar así un nuevo tipo de inteligencia y plenitud a nuestras vidas. ¿Qué es la intuición? ¿Es algo con lo que nacen algunas personas, y que otras no pueden siquiera esperar desarrollar nunca? ¿Es algo susceptible de ser enseñado a través de cursos, aplicando una serie de fórmulas que cualquiera puede dominar con un poco de perseverancia y determinación? La intuición es la percepción directa de la realidad sin que haya ninguna interferencia de los prejuicios y la ideología de la mente. Es un «conocimiento que trasciende la lógica»; solo aquellos que son capaces de trascender las limitaciones de la lógica y el análisis son también capaces de responder creativamente a las situaciones nuevas y cambiantes que encuentran cada día.

manual de Baltasar Gracián fue concebido como un libro de consejos prácticos que aborda de manera exhaustiva cada uno de los aspectos que deben ser atendidos para conseguir el éxito. Sus máximas son una suerte de herramienta de desarrollo personal, que profundiza en tópicos tales como el cultivo de nuestra persona, el control de nuestras emociones, la manera de establecer relaciones provechosas y duraderas, el momento propicio para actuar o para dejar de hacerlo, los métodos de percepción y juicio requeridos para eludir el engaño, y la forma de poner de nuestro lado la voluntad ajena. Esta edición parte de una rigurosa selección de máximas, acompañadas de un comentario que ayuda a desentrañar las complejidades de la obra original. De ese modo se condensan los aspectos principales del pensamiento táctico de Gracián y se pone al alcance de todo tipo de públicos la sabiduría invaluable de este libro sorprendente e iluminador.

Recupera tus noches de sueño y tu energía con el método Duerme, Descansa, Vive. La guía definitiva para dormir bien,…
por una de las mayores expertas y divulgadoras de España. Si existe una conducta que todos realizamos es dormir. Todos dormimos, mejor o peor, más o menos horas, porque el sueño es necesario para la vida. No obstante, parece que dormir bien ya no es lo natural para las personas. Datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud estiman que la mitad la población mundial duerme mal y se prevé que esta cifra vaya en aumento si no se modifican los hábitos y el estilo de vida que llevamos actualmente en las sociedades modernas. En Por fin duermo, la doctora Nuria Roure convierte en libro el método propio que lleva quince años utilizando para ayudar a cientos de personas de todas las edades (niños, adolescentes, adultos y ancianos) a tener un sueño más reparador y a despertarse descansadas, con más energía y mejor humor. El libro nos ofrece las pautas y estrategias que, en poco tiempo, asegurarán un cambio en nuestro descanso y nos ayudarán a mejorar nuestra salud y rendimiento diario, así como a paliar enfermedades como las migrañas, la hipertensión, la obesidad, el estrés o la depresión.

¿En qué medida el éxito personal, profesional y deportivo depende de nosotros? ¿Son los demás los que nos boicotean, estresan…
e impiden que alcancemos nuestros sueños? En Cuenta contigo Patricia Ramírez nos propone empezar a trabajar desde el propio interior para lograr nuestros propósitos. Si para hacer ejercicio necesitamos la compañía de un amigo, si para ser titular en un equipo solo dependemos de la decisión del entrenador, o si para mejorar en inglés esperamos que sea la empresa la que se encargue de formarnos, tal vez nunca alcancemos nuestros propósitos. ¿Por qué? Porque que el éxito dependa de lo que los demás hagan por nosotros es cómodo pero poco eficaz. Patricia Ramírez nos propone que aprendamos a responsabilizarnos de nuestros objetivos, emociones y pensamientos; en definitiva, de las cosas que nos ocurren en la vida. Y nos ofrece herramientas prácticas, como la sorprendente terapia del caballo-secretaria o la de Teresa de Calcuta. Veinte propuestas para enseñarnos a tomar las riendas y descubrir que las soluciones a los problemas están mucho más cerca de lo que pensábamos: en nuestro propio interior. «Transitamos temporalmente portando un equipaje cargado de creencias e ideas no siempre idóneas para afrontar el viaje de la vida. En esta obra, Patricia Ramírez nos da claves para replantear y preguntar si aquello que nos acompaña en nuestro trayecto vital es lo más acertado o no. Obra clara, directa y tremendamente inspiradora». ANDONI LUIS ADURIZ, chef del restaurante Mugaritz «Patricia transmite de manera fácil lo difícil, aporta soluciones a los problemas, y lo mejor es que lo hace con tanta naturalidad que te engancha desde el primer momento. ¡Sin duda se ha convertido en un referente en nuestro deporte!». ÀLEX CORRETJA, extenista «Nadie como Patricia Ramírez para ayudarte a que des la mejor versión de ti mism@. Con sus "momentos libreta" entrenarás con Patri como si fueras un/a deportista de alta competición... en tu propia vida. Vive el presente (no temerariamente) y haz posible el futuro que quieres.» JUAN CARLOS CUBEIRO, economista, presidente de About my Brain Europe, socio director de IDEO y consejero de Human Age Institute

One of 2019’s Most Anticipated Books: BuzzFeed, Bustle, HelloGiggles, LitHub, She Reads Acclaimed essayist and bookseller Mary Laura Philpott presents…
a charmingly relatable and wise memoir-in-essays about what happened after she checked off all the boxes on her successful life’s to-do list and realized she might need to reinvent the list—and herself. Mary Laura Philpott thought she’d cracked the code: Always be right, and you’ll always be happy. But once she’d completed her life’s to-do list (job, spouse, house, babies—check!), she found that instead of feeling content and successful, she felt anxious. Lost. Stuck in a daily grind of overflowing calendars, grueling small talk, and sprawling traffic. She’d done everything “right,” but she felt all wrong. What’s the worse failure, she wondered: smiling and staying the course, or blowing it all up and running away? And are those the only options? In this memoir-in-essays full of spot-on observations about home, work, and creative life, Philpott takes on the conflicting pressures of modern adulthood with wit and heart. She offers up her own stories to show that identity crises don’t happen just once or only at midlife; reassures us that small, recurring personal re-inventions are both normal and necessary; and advises that if you’re going to faint, you should get low to the ground first. Most of all, Philpott shows that when you stop feeling satisfied with your life, you don’t have to burn it all down and set off on a transcontinental hike (unless you want to, of course). You can call upon your many selves to figure out who you are, who you’re not, and where you belong. Who among us isn’t trying to do that? Like a pep talk from a sister, I Miss You When I Blink is the funny, poignant, and deeply affecting book you’ll want to share with all your friends, as you learn what Philpott has figured out along the way: that multiple things can be true of us at once—and that sometimes doing things wrong is the way to do life right.

From the brilliant New York Times bestselling authors of the “refreshingly blunt” (Harper’s Bazaar) F*ck Feelings—this seriously irreverent roadmap reveals…
the essentials to look for when you're done being suckered by the promise of true love and want help seeking a real, lasting relationship.Many people have opinions on the subject of romantic relationships—why they’re so hard to find, so difficult to maintain, so easily analogized to planets and pets—but the real source of trouble isn’t too complicated: it’s that we are choosing our partners based on love, excitement, lust, attraction, neediness…on feelings. Instead of helping readers find true love (also known as “total bullshit”), Dr. Michael Bennett and his comedy-writing daughter Sarah reveal the practical, commonsense criteria for good partnerships that will allow real love to develop, even after the romance has died down or been buried completely. Finding a good partner involves losing preconceived notions about who your dream date might be, so the Bennetts helpfully appraise the pros and cons of eight traits people most commonly seek: charisma, beauty, chemistry, communication, sense of humor, family stability, intelligence, and wealth. They suggest you’ll have better luck finding a partner in a bar, online, or on a date arranged by your chiropractor if you focus on ideas like mutual attraction and respect and common interests and common goals. With helpful quizzes, case studies inspired by Dr. Bennett’s practice, and unscientific flow charts, F*ck Love is packed with enough advice and wisdom to help you avoid the relationship nightmares that led you to this book in the first place.
