-Titulo Original : Pets On The Couch Neurotic Dogs, Compulsive Cats, Anxious Birds, And The New Science Of Animal Psychiatry-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: The “fur-and-feathers Oliver Sacks” (New York Times), pioneering veterinarian Nicholas Dodman recounts his “riveting stories” (Judith L. Rapoport, MD, author of The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Washing) of treating animals with all-too-human problems in this “fascinating read for anyone who wants to know how the animal mind works” (Stanley Coren, author of The Intelligence of Dogs). Internationally renowned veterinarian Dr. Nicholas Dodman breaks new ground with the practice of One Medicine, the profound recognition that humans’ and other animals’ minds and emotions work in similar ways. Racehorses with Tourette’s Syndrome, spinning dogs with epilepsy, cats with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, feather-plucking parrots with anxiety, and a diffident Bull Terrier with autism-these astonishing cases were all helped by One Medicine. Traditional treatments did not cure the behaviors because they treated the symptoms as disorders of the body, rather than problems of the mind. “This book itself is powerful medicine,” writes Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus. “Compelling…Dodman injects empathy into a world where sympathy previously reigned,” praised Publishers Weekly. “With much charm and compassion” (Susan Richards, author of Chosen by a Horse), Pets on the Couch raises our understanding of our pets’ complex interior lives and mental abilities, leading to a greater appreciation of them and the bonds we share. Review “ Pets on the Couch tells riveting stories about how and why our pets become troubled and trouble. His answers can be lifesaving. Should be required reading for pet owners.” -- Judith L. Rapoport, MD, author of The Boy Who Couldnt Stop Washing I strongly recommend Pets on the Couch for anyone with an interest in animal minds, long misunderstood as nothing much, even by most scientists. The findings of Dr. Dodman, a highly scientific researcher, shows us that the minds of non-humans can be fully as complex and fertile as ours, and sometimes more so. So if you read no other book, be sure to read this one. -- Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of THE HIDDEN LIFE OF DOGS and THE TRIBE OF TIGER Pets on the Couch may change your mind about minds. This compelling and exciting book will give many pet owners new hope, many vets and MDs new ideas, and inspire all readers with a fresh appreciation for how all animal species-including humans-are deeply and fundamentally connected. Thank you, Dr. Dodman, for your compassion for both people and animals, and for writing a book that itself is powerful medicine. -- Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus “Dr. Dodman’s work makes it very clear that animals have the same emotions and neurochemistry as people. Essential reading for treating severe pet behavior problems.” -- Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make Us Human Dr. Dodman cleverly utilizes his vast clinical experience to deliver a fascinating collection of insightful and essential behavioral tales. The delineation between human emotions and those of the animals in our lives has never been finer. -- Nicholas Trout, DVM, author of Tell Me Where It Hurts It is my hope that one day all vets will practice One Medicine, and focus on the similarities rather than the differences between humans and other animals. With much charm and compassion, Dr. Dodman recounts fascinating stories of the various successes with his canine, feline, equine, and other patients. A book for anyone seeking to broaden their understanding and improve their care giving of the animals we love. -- Susan Richards, author of the New York Times bestseller Chosen by a Horse How many of us have wished that our veterinarian was our doctor? To know Dr. Nicholas Dodman is to wish he was your therapist. Dr. Dodman teaches us that when we underestimate animals we underestimate all that can be done for them and we most definitely underestimate ourselves. Dr. Dodman has never acc...

FastExercise Introduction AS A MEDICALLY TRAINED JOURNALIST I frequently come across claims that seem too good to be true and often are. Occasionally, after digging around, I reconsider my original position, acknowledge that what might appear at first to be outrageous could have something in it. As the economist John Maynard Keynes once said, “When the facts change, I change my mind.” This happened to me when, in early 2012, I first heard about intermittent fasting. My initial reaction was skepticism. I assumed it would turn out to be some variation on “detoxing” or other largely discredited views of how the body works. Nonetheless I decided to find out more as I’d recently discovered that I was a borderline diabetic with too much visceral fat (the fat that lies inside your abdomen). My father had died from a diabetes-related illness and I could see myself going down the same road. So I set out to examine the claim that you can lose weight and get health benefits, particularly improvements in your insulin, by changing your pattern of eating. I soon came across research done in the United States and the United Kingdom which pointed to rapid fat loss and other benefit...

-Titulo Original : No Grain, No Pain A 30-day Diet For Eliminating The Root Cause Of Chronic Pain-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: In the tradition of Wheat Belly and Grain Brain; No Grain, No Pain demonstrates the proven link between a gluten-heavy diet and chronic pain and discomfort-and offers a groundbreaking, 30-day, grain-free diet plan to help you heal yourself from the inside out. More than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain according to an Institute of Medicine report released in 2011. For many, chronic pain is part of an autoimmune disease, but all too often doctors turn to the same solution: painkilling drugs. But all of this medication simply isn’t helping, and as Dr. Peter Osborne, the leading authority on gluten sensitivity and food allergies has found, the real solution often lies in what you eat. In No Grain, No Pain, Dr. Osborne shows how grains wreak havoc on the body by causing tissue inflammation, creating vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies, and triggering an autoimmune response that causes the body to attack itself. But he also offers practical steps to find relief. Using his drug-free, easy-to-implement plan, you will be able to eliminate all sources of gluten and gluten-like substances, experience significant improvement in fifteen days, and eliminate pain within thirty days. No Grain, No Pain is the first book to identify diet-specifically, grain-as a leading cause of chronic suffering, and provides you with the knowledge you need to improve your health. Based on extensive research and examples culled from thousands of his satisfied patients, Dr. Osborne recommends changing your diet to achieve the relief that millions of Americans have been seeking once and for all, leading to a healthier, happier life. Review “In NO GRAIN, NO PAIN, Dr. Peter Osborne destroys prevalent gluten-free myths, showing the widespread damage grains create and providing an easy-to-use, powerfully effective program that helps you become lean, healthy, energetic, and pain-free. This books a must-read!” -- JJ Virgin, New York Times bestselling author of The Virgin Diet and The Sugar Impact Diet “If there is one thing I appreciate from the smart people Im privileged to call friends, its when they put their knowledge out there for the rest of the world to read. Peter has done just that with this brilliant book. Well-researched and well written, this book is a must read!” -- Leanne Ely, CNC, New York Times bestselling author of Body Clutter and founder of SavingDinner A must-read book for anyone suffering with chronic pain. Dr. Osborne transforms the way we need to look at not just gluten, but most grains and their impact on autoimmune disease and inflammation. -- Sara Gottfried, M.D., New York Times best selling author of The Hormone Cure and The Hormone Reset Diet There are a few people I turn to when I need sound health advice. Peter Osborne is one of them. Hes one of the smartest natural practitioners and easily one of the worlds leading authorities on going gluten free. This book is far overdue and brings together Peters immense knowledge and years of experience helping hundreds of pain suffers regain a happier, pain-free life. -- Yuri Elkaim, New York Times bestselling author of The All-Day Energy Diet “Dr. Osborne offers many exciting new insights, in plain language, into the dynamics of celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and how our immune systems react, and overreact, to large families of food proteins. This important book provides clear and unique instructions for following the path back to pain-free wellness. It also clarifies a variety of processes such as ‘gluten-free whiplash’ for those who have tried avoiding gluten with either transient or no success, along with a host of dietary insights into these widespread maladies. Dr. Osborne also delves into the dynamics of sugar-driven illnesses and gluten-driven obesity. There are few individuals in the industrialized world that would not benefit from reading this book.” -- Ron Hoggan, Ed. D., coauthor of Dangerous Grains We ha...

The stairs were crumbling, the rowdy patrons were shoulder to shoulder, and the air was a medley of sweat, blood, and mold. Voices blurred as they yelled numbers and names back and forth, and arms flailed about, exchanging money and gestures to communicate over the noise. I squeezed through the crowd, following close behind my best friend. “Keep your cash in your wallet, Abby!” America called to me. Her broad smile gleamed even in the dim light. “Stay close! It’ll get worse once it starts!” Shepley yelled over the noise. America grabbed his hand and then mine as Shepley led us through the sea of people. The sharp bleating of a bullhorn cut through the smoky air. The noise startled me, and I jumped in reaction, looking for the source of the blast. A man stood on a wooden chair, holding a wad of cash in one hand, the horn in the other. He held the plastic to his lips. “Welcome to the bloodbath! If you are looking for Economics 101… you are in the wrong fucking place, my friend! If you seek the Circle, this is Mecca! My name is Adam. I make the rules and I call the fight.

-Titulo Original : The House Between Tides A Novel-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: An atmospheric debut novel about a woman who discovers the century-old remains of a murder victim on her family’s Scottish estate, plunging her into an investigation of its mysterious former occupants. Following the death of her last living relative, Hetty Deveraux leaves London and her strained relationship behind for Muirlan, her ancestral home in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. She intends to renovate the ruinous house into a hotel, but the shocking discovery of human remains brings her ambitious restoration plans to an abrupt halt before they even begin. Few physical clues are left to identify the body, but one thing is certain: this person did not die a natural death. Hungry for answers, Hetty discovers that Muirlan was once the refuge of her distant relative Theo Blake, the acclaimed painter and naturalist who brought his new bride, Beatrice, there in 1910. Yet ancient gossip and a handful of leads reveal that their marriage was far from perfect; Beatrice eventually vanished from the island, never to return, and Theo withdrew from society, his paintings becoming increasingly dark and disturbing. What happened between them has remained a mystery, but as Hetty listens to the locals and studies the masterful paintings produced by Theo during his short-lived marriage, she uncovers secrets that still reverberate through the small island community-and will lead her to the identity of the long-hidden body. Review “Scotland’s Outer Hebrides provides the sensuous setting for [this] impressive debut…[a] beautifully crafted novel.” Publishers Weekly Maine skillfully balances a Daphne du Maurier atmosphere with a Barbara Vine-like psychological mystery...The setting emerges as the strongest personality in this compelling story, evoking passion in the characters as fierce as the storms which always lurk on the horizon. A debut historical thriller which deftly blends classic suspense with modern themes. Kirkus Reviews “Maine contrasts Hetty’s present-day consternation with the past story of Blake and his wife, delivering details at a perfectly suspenseful pace… the historic mystery will keep readers guessing right up until the end.” Booklist “The stark setting proves to be the perfect backdrop for Maines well-plotted debut. The novel weaves secrets from both past and present with a bit of a romance and the feel of the Outer Hebrides to build a mystery that is as eerie and complex as the house of Muirlan itself.” Shelf Awareness “Reminiscent of the Gothics of the 1970s, THE HOUSE BETWEEN TIDES by Sarah Maine takes the reader on a stimulating stroll through two time periods, igniting the senses with a classic mysterious aura. The moodiness of the location easily placed my mind on holiday in the past while unraveling the mystery in the present.” Romance Junkies Evocative...Much is left up to the reader to interpret, which showcases the skill of this debut author. The novel is a haunting story of loss and longing in an unusual setting. Recommended. Historical Novels Review “I really enjoyed the ambiance of the book… It felt like a great harmony between the environment and the mystery taking place. You could feel the mood of people in keeping with the landscape, the mood adapting to the elements... A very enjoyable atmospheric novel, spanning over a few generations, rich in landscape descriptions and suspense. Words and Peace “ The House Between Tides reminds me of books written by Phyllis Whitney, Victoria Holt or Mary Stewart in that they all have the same style of writing, moody, dark and atmospheric stories that involve romance and mystery where the male characters are often brooding and the women are bound to fall in love them in spite of their moodiness and mystery.

About the Author Gail McHugh is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Collide and Pulse. She is the mother of three beautiful children and has been married to her husband for fifteen years. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Pulse Chapter One A Missed Last Encounter Emily leaned her head against the taxi window, watching the city lights of Manhattan with tear-soaked eyes. In a blur, the look on Gavin’s face as he had walked away from her a few hours before rushed through her mind. The closer she got to his building, and the further away she got from her past with Dillon, the more she felt as though her sanity and heart were hanging by a delicate thread. She shifted restlessly and her gaze fell on the glowing green light of the digital clock. It was nearly one o’clock in the morning. A glimmer of hope flooded her body, and she squeezed her eyes shut, praying Gavin would take her back. As the taxi pulled up in front of his high-rise, she reached in her purse and pulled out a wad of cash. After handing the unknown amount to the driver, she swung open the door and stepped onto the sidewalk into the cold, late November air. “Hey!” the Middle Eastern driver called. “You have to close the door, lady!” Emily heard his words but paid him no mind. Her fumbling feet pushed her forward, kept her moving toward what she hoped would be a new start. A new future with the man she knew she couldn’t live without. She pulled open the door and crossed the lobby. Sweat clung like decay across her flesh. With a trembling hand, she pressed the button for the elevator. Her nerves skyrocketed with love and anxiety. Once the elevator doors opened, she stepped inside and leaned against the wall, physically and mentally exhausted. As she tried to stop shaking, tears steadily fell. Unsure of Gavin’s reaction, Emily struggled to pull in a decent breath. She tried to tamp down the wicked emotions curling through her. The doors opened to what would either be a new beginning . . . or an end. Feet glued to the ground, she stood frozen for a moment, her eyes trained on the wall across the hallway. Vaguely aware of the elevator doors gliding closed, she became dizzy as she lifted her hand to hold it open. Slowly, she stepped out. Her vision tunneled as she turned toward Gavin’s penthouse, and her mind spun out of control with every possible scenario. She strained to focus on his words from earlier, allowing her fear to wane as her feet led her closer. Her pace quickened with every step. Once she reached his unit, her fears returned with a vengeance, anchoring heavy in her chest. With trepidation, she knocked on his door, each knock mimicking the fierce pounding of her heart. She wiped away tears as her body trembled from head to toe. The minutes ticked by with no answer, and she knocked again, harder. “Please answer.” She chanted the silent prayer while ringing his doorbel...

-Titulo Original : Above Suspicion (anna Travis Mysteries)-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: From the author of Prime Suspect comes a series about Anna Travis, Lynda La Plantes most memorable female detective since Jane Tennison. In the footsteps of Jane Tennison, immortalized by Helen Mirren in Prime Suspect, comes Anna Travis, a rookie female detective about to embark on her first murder case. The murders couldnt be more gruesome. The method of killing is identical, the backgrounds of the girls very similar-all are prostitutes. As the book opens, a seventh body is found, same modus operandi but the victim this time is a sweet young student. Anna stumbles on a vital piece of information that links one man to the killings, a well-known, much-loved actor. His protestation of innocence is convincing, and Anna might be succumbing to his flattering attention. What if he is arrested, the media erupts, and he is the wrong man? From Publishers Weekly La Plantes gripping thriller (after Cold Shoulder, Cold Blood and the Prime Suspect television series) launches the crime-fighting career of another brainy, sexy female homicide detective, fledgling London copper Anna Travis. As the bright and eager young daughter of recently deceased Detective Chief Superintendent Travis, Anna is hired by Detective Chief Inspector Langton, whose murder team has been completely outfoxed by a serial killer with a trail of six murdered prostitutes dating back 12 years. Anna joins the team just as they identify the corpse of a younger victim with no history of prostitution, a casualty that Langton takes as a sign of the killers escalating blood lust. Further investigation reveals handsome up-and-coming film actor Alan Daniels as a potential suspect, and Anna and Langton widen their inquiry to include Danielss past movie locations in the U.S., following a trail of victims to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago. Suspense builds and circumstantial evidence continues to pile up, but absolute proof eludes Anna and Langton as the sociopathic suspect attempts to turn his seductive powers on Anna. With crime lab authenticity, a sympathetic heroine and an affecting undercurrent of May-December romance between Anna and Langton, this spellbinder spirals down to an edge-of-the-seat denouement. (Jan.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist Creator of the popular Detective Jane Tennison, heroine of the Prime Suspect TV drama, Londoner La Plante brings a new crime series to America. Originally published in Great Britain in 2004, Above Suspicion follows young Detective Sergeant Anna Travis, daughter of the late Detective Chief Superintendent Jack Travis, as she works her first homicide case. And what a case it is: a serial killer who has brutally murdered prostitutes for the past eight years has suddenly switched to a beautiful young student. DCI Langton, who chose Anna for the team out of respect for her father, pushes her mercilessly. In fact, Annas complex and heated relationship with her boss is almost as compelling as the chase for the serial killer. When a popular actor is identified as a subject, he denies it all and begins an amorous pursuit of Anna. Flattered by his attention and confused by her feelings for Langton, Anna finds herself in grave danger. For readers wondering if veteran La Plante has still got it, Above Suspicionleaves no doubt. Jenny McLarin Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved Review More than just an excellent mystery, Above Suspicion provides a dramatic look at victims and victimization. Author Lynda La Plante doesnt stop until she squeezes the last drop of emotion from the situation. The story and characters seamlessly flow into a readers awareness as a complete and compelling reality. For a little added pleasure, an understated romance filters through the detectives day-to-day grind. Highly recommended. -- Romance Reviews Today This is a terrific British polic...

-Titulo Original : Clean Cut An Anna Travis Mystery (anna Travis Mysteries)-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: Dedicated, intuitive, and utterly obsessive, DCI James Langton is ruthless in his pursuit of a gang of illegal immigrants, the murderers of a young prostitute. When one of them nearly kills him, Anna Travis nurses his wounds and bears the brunt of his frustrations, putting her own life and career on hold. But then one of Annas own cases -- the seemingly motiveless murder of a quiet, studious woman -- turns out to be linked with Langtons, and Anna becomes the gangs next target. As USA Today wrote of La Plantes Above Suspicion, There is no sugarcoating on this 100-proof police procedural. La Plantes growing legions of fans will not be disappointed. From Publishers Weekly In La Plantes solid third police procedural to feature London Det. Insp. Anna Travis (after 2007s The Red Dahlia), Annas lover and superior, Det. Chief Insp. Jimmy Langton, is knifed while investigating the murder of a young prostitute. As Anna helps him recuperate, Jimmy becomes obsessed with catching his assailant, rumored to be Clinton Camorra, a notorious drug trafficker and voodoo practitioner. Anna discovers another link to Camorras gang of illegal immigrants in one of her own murder cases, the apparently motiveless killing of a woman by Arthur George Murphy, who also practices voodoo. After Arthurs sister and niece are murdered and another niece and nephew disappear, Anna suspects that not only is Camorra behind the crimes but that she may be the next target. Though her stance on illegal immigration is sometimes too strident for the story to support, La Plante has created another damaged heroine almost as appealing as her inimitable Jane Tennison. (Oct.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist Detective Anna Travis is back in another suspenseful crime drama. She and her boss, James Langton, are lovers, a fact they try to keep quiet, but when James is knifed during a murder investigation, and Anna spends time at his bedside, the relationship becomes public. Later, with James determined to find the man who nearly killed him, the team is temporarily distracted by another murder investigation, which, naturally, turns out to be connected to James’ knifing. Despite that tired convention, La Plante’s latest boasts a suspense-filled plot with devilish twists and an interestingly flawed hero and heroine. Another strong series entry from Prime Suspect scriptwriter La Plante. --Emily Melton About the Author Lynda La Plantes many novels, including the Prime Suspect series, have all been international bestsellers.

-Titulo Original : La Busqueda De Un Sueño (a Dream Called Home Spanish Edition) Una Autobiografia (atria Espanol)-Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: La extraordinaria historia de Reyna Grande-que comenzo en su exitosa autobiografia La distancia entre nosotros-continua ahora en esta fabulosa travesia para encontrar su lugar en los Estados Unidos como universitaria latina de primera generacion y como escritora. Reyna Grande tenia nueve años cuando cruzo la frontera de Mexico y los Estados Unidos buscando un hogar y el reencuentro con sus padres, quienes la habian dejado en su tierra natal para migrar a Los Ángeles en busca de una mejor vida. Sin embargo, lo que encontro fue a una madre indiferente y a un padre alcoholico y violento, en un pais cuyo sistema educativo menospreciaba sus raices. Reyna se refugio en las palabras. Su amor por la lectura y la escritura fueron su inspiracion para salir adelante y lograr lo que parecia imposible: ser la primera persona en su familia en asistir a la universidad. Pero la experiencia universitaria resulto intimidante, y muy pronto descubrio que desconocia lo que se requiere para forjar una carrera a partir de un sueño. Contra viento y marea, Reyna convirtio su condicion de inmigrante indocumentada en la de “una escritora valiente, inteligente y brillante” (Cheryl Strayed, autora de Wild) que “habla por millones de inmigrantes cuyas voces no han sido escuchadas” (Sandra Cisneros, autora de La casa en Mango Street). Narrada con esa prosa conmovedora y sincera que la caracteriza, en La busqueda de un sueño Reyna Grande nos relata como persiguio sus sueños para construir lo que siempre habia anhelado: un hogar duradero. Review “Una conmovedora autobiografia sobre la creacion de una familia, el camino para convertirse en escritora y la redefinicion de los Estados Unidos de America”. -- Viet Thanh Nguyen, ganador del premio Pulitzer y autor bestseller del New York Times “Reyna Grande es una escritora valiente y una incansable guerrera para aquellos que han sido silenciados y opacados. Su fuerza se hace mas grande con cada libro”. -- Luis Alberto Urrea, finalista del Premio Pulitzer y autor de The Devil’s Highway “La marcha de Reyna Grande hacia su brillante carrera es asombrosa. Ella toma decisiones aparentemente desastrosas, pero durante todo se balancea y flota tan liviana como un corcho. Sus errores son familiares, pero su recuperacion es unica. Esta es una historia de vida tan increible que solo podria ser verdad”. -- Sandra Cisneros, autora bestseller de La casa en Mango Street “Escritores como Reyna Grande nos brindan algo mas que una historia, mas que un libro, mas que solo una rebanada de su experiencia o de su imaginacion; nos brindan un mundo en el cual sumergirnos, un lugar al que siempre podemos regresar cuando necesitamos hacer sentido del caos que nos rodea. En busqueda de un sueño es ese lugar”. -- Valeria Luiselli, autora premiada de Los niños perdidos “Un retrato conmovedor, hermosamente escrito, de la travesia de una joven para encontrar una vida mejor, a pesar de todo. Reyna Grande es un tesoro nacional; su vision no solo es singular sino esencial para nuestra cultura contemporanea. Este libro es un faro de luz que guia e inspira”. -- Carolina De Robertis, autora premiada de The Gods of Tango About the Author Reyna Grande es una reconocida autora, oradora motivacional y profesora de escritura.

-Titulo Original : El Camino De La Iluminacion (becoming Enlightened; Spanish Ed.) (atria Espanol) -Fabricante : Atria Books-Descripcion Original: En El camino de la iluminacion, Su Santidad el Dalai Lama extrae practicas de meditacion del Budismo tradicional para presentar paso a paso ejercicios contemplativos diseñados para expandir la capacidad de enriquecimiento espiritual del lector, junto con marcas claras para reconocer su progreso. Repleto de anecdotas personales y de recuentos intimos de las experiencias del Dalai Lama, El camino de la iluminacion ofrece al lector todo el conocimiento, el apoyo, la guia y la inspiracion necesarias para ser exitoso en su vida espiritual. In Becoming Enlightened, His Holiness the Dalai Lama draws from traditional Buddhist meditative practices to present step-by-step contemplative exercises designed to expand the reader’s capacity for spiritual growth, along with clear milestones to mark progress. Complete with personal anecdotes and intimate accounts of the Dalai Lama’s experiences, Becoming Enlightened gives readers all the wisdom, support, guidance, and inspiration they need to become successful in their spiritual lives. About the Author Tenzin Gyatso, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He frequently describes himself as a simple Buddhist monk. Born in northeastern Tibet in 1935, he was as a toddler recognized as the incarnation of the Thirteenth Dalai Lama and brought to Tibets capital, Lhasa. In 1950, Mao Zedongs Communist forces made their first incursions into eastern Tibet, shortly after which the young Dalai Lama assumed the political leadership of his country. He passed his scholastic examinations with honors at the Great Prayer Festival in Lhasa in 1959, the same year Chinese forces occupied the city, forcing His Holiness to escape to India. There he set up the Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamsala, working to secure the welfare of the more than 100,000 Tibetan exiles and prevent the destruction of Tibetan culture. In his capacity as a spiritual and political leader, he has traveled to more than sixty-two countries on six continents and met with presidents, popes, and leading scientists to foster dialogue and create a better world. In recognition of his tireless work for the nonviolent liberation of Tibet, the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. In 2012, he relinquished political authority in his exile government and turned it over to democratically elected representatives. His Holiness frequently states that his life is guided by three major commitments: the promotion of basic human values or secular ethics in the interest of human happiness, the fostering of interreligious harmony, and securing the welfare of the Tibetan people, focusing on the survival of their identity, culture, and religion. As a superior scholar trained in the classical texts of the Nalanda tradition of Indian Buddhism, he is able to distill the central tenets of Buddhist philosophy in clear and inspiring language, his gift for pedagogy imbued with his infectious joy. Connecting scientists with Buddhist scholars, he helps unite contemplative and modern modes of investigation, bringing ancient tools and insights to bear on the acute problems facing the contemporary world. His efforts to foster dialogue among leaders of the worlds faiths envision a future where people of different beliefs can share the planet in harmony. Wisdom Publications is proud to be the premier publisher of the Dalai Lamas more serious and in-depth works. Jeffrey Hopkins, Ph.D., served for a decade as the interpreter for the Dalai Lama. A Buddhist scholar and the author of more than thirty-five books and translations, he is emeritus professor of Tibetan and Buddhist studies at the University of Virginia, where he founded the largest academic program of Tibetan Buddhist studies in the West.

Chapter 11 de eneroHay un poder mayor que yo que me ama exactamente como soy.La tension comenzo el dia en que te enteraste que se esperaba que complacieras a otras personas. Tus padres querian que te mantuvieras limpio y tranquilo. Los vecinos querian que fueras respetuoso y servicial. Los maestros querian que prestaras atencion y estuvieras al tanto de todo. Los amigos querian que compartieras y pasaras tiempo con ellos. Cada vez que no hacias exactamente lo que alguien esperaba de ti, no eras bueno, o no lo bastante bueno. Eras malo, debil o tonto.
