-Titulo Original : Emotional Agility-Fabricante : Penguin-Descripcion Original: #1 Wall Street Journal Best Seller USA Today Best Seller Amazon Best Book of 2016 The counterintuitive approach to achieving your true potential, heralded by the Harvard Business Review as a groundbreaking idea of the year. The path to personal and professional fulfillment is rarely straight. Ask anyone who has achieved his or her biggest goals or whose relationships thrive and you’ll hear stories of many unexpected detours along the way. What separates those who master these challenges and those who get derailed? The answer is agility-emotional agility. Emotional agility is a revolutionary, science-based approach that allows us to navigate life’s twists and turns with self-acceptance, clear-sightedness, and an open mind. Renowned psychologist Susan David developed this concept after studying emotions, happiness, and achievement for more than twenty years. She found that no matter how intelligent or creative people are, or what type of personality they have, it is how they navigate their inner world-their thoughts, feelings, and self-talk-that ultimately determines how successful they will become. The way we respond to these internal experiences drives our actions, careers, relationships, happiness, health-everything that matters in our lives. As humans, we are all prone to common hooks-things like self-doubt, shame, sadness, fear, or anger-that can too easily steer us in the wrong direction. Emotionally agile people are not immune to stresses and setbacks. The key difference is that they know how to adapt, aligning their actions with their values and making small but powerful changes that lead to a lifetime of growth. Emotional agility is not about ignoring difficult emotions and thoughts; it’s about holding them loosely, facing them courageously and compassionately, and then moving past them to bring the best of yourself forward. Drawing on her deep research, decades of international consulting, and her own experience overcoming adversity after losing her father at a young age, David shows how anyone can thrive in an uncertain world by becoming more emotionally agile. To guide us, she shares four key concepts that allow us to acknowledge uncomfortable experiences while simultaneously detaching from them, thereby allowing us to embrace our core values and adjust our actions so they can move us where we truly want to go. Written with authority, wit, and empathy, Emotional Agility serves as a road map for real behavioral change-a new way of acting that will help you reach your full potential, whoever you are and whatever you face.

-Titulo Original : The Omnivores Dilemma A Natural History Of Four Meals-Fabricante : Penguin-Descripcion Original: Outstanding . . . a wide-ranging invitation to think through the moral ramifications of our eating habits. -The New Yorker One of the New York Times Book Reviews Ten Best Books of the Year and Winner of the James Beard Award Author of This is Your Mind on Plants, How to Change Your Mind and the #1 New York Times Bestseller In Defense of Food and Food Rules What should we have for dinner? Ten years ago, Michael Pollan confronted us with this seemingly simple question and, with The Omnivore’s Dilemma, his brilliant and eye-opening exploration of our food choices, demonstrated that how we answer it today may determine not only our health but our survival as a species. In the years since, Pollan’s revolutionary examination has changed the way Americans think about food. Bringing wide attention to the little-known but vitally important dimensions of food and agriculture in America, Pollan launched a national conversation about what we eat and the profound consequences that even the simplest everyday food choices have on both ourselves and the natural world. Ten years later, The Omnivore’s Dilemma continues to transform the way Americans think about the politics, perils, and pleasures of eating. Review Gold Medal in Nonfiction for the California Book Award * Winner of the 2007 Bay Area Book Award for Nonfiction * Winner of the 2007 James Beard Book Award/Writing on Food Category * Finalist for the 2007 Orion Book Award * Finalist for the 2007 NBCC Award Thoughtful, engrossing . . . Youre not likely to get a better explanation of exactly where your food comes from. -The New York Times Book Review An eaters manifesto . . . [Pollans] cause is just, his thinking is clear, and his writing is compelling. Be careful of your dinner! -The Washington Post Outstanding . . . a wide-ranging invitation to think through the moral ramifications of our eating habits. -The New Yorker If you ever thought whats for dinner? was a simple question, youll change your mind after reading Pollans searing indictment of todays food industry-and his glimpse of some inspiring alternatives . . . I just loved this book so much I didnt want it to end. -The Seattle Times “Michael Pollan has perfected a tone-one of gleeful irony and barely suppressed outrage-and a way of inserting himself into a narrative so that a subject comes alive through what he’s feeling and thinking. He is a master at drawing back to reveal the greater issues.” -Los Angeles Times “Michael Pollan convincingly demonstrates that the oddest meal can be found right around the corner at your local McDonald’s . . . He brilliantly anatomizes the corn-based diet that has emerged in the postwar era.” -The New York Times “[Pollan] wants us at least to know what it is we are eating, where it came from and how it got to our table. He also wants us to be aware of the choices we make and to take responsibility for them. It’s an admirable goal, well met in The Omnivore’s Dilemma.” -The Wall Street Journal “A gripping delight . . . This is a brilliant, revolutionary book with huge implications for our future and a must-read for everyone. And I do mean everyone.” -The Austin Chronicle “As lyrical as What to Eat is hard-hitting, Michael Pollan’s The Omnivores Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals…may be the best single book I read this year. This magisterial work, whose subject is nothing less than our own omnivorous (i.e., eating everything) humanity, is organized around two plants and one ecosystem. Pollan has a love-hate relationship with ‘Corn,’ the wildly successful plant that has found its way into meat (as feed), corn syrup and virtually every other type of processed food. American agribusiness’ monoculture of corn has shoved aside the old pastoral ideal of ‘Grass,’ and the self-sustaining, diversified farm based on the grass-eating livestock. In ‘The Forest,’ Pollan ponders the earliest forms of obtaining food: hunting and gathering. If you eat,...

-Titulo Original : Strange Pilgrims-Fabricante : Penguin-Descripcion Original: Strange Pilgrims is a collection of unforgettable stories about distinctive South American individuals in Europe from the Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera. The first thing Señora Prudencia Linero noticed when she reached the port of Naples was that it had the same smell as the port of Riohacha The twelve stories here tell of Latin Americans adrift in Europe: a bereaved father in Rome for an audience with the Pope carries a box shaped like a cello case; an aging streetwalker waits for death in Barcelona with a dog trained to weep at her grave; a panic-stricken husband takes his wife to a Parisian hospital to treat a cut and never sees her again. Combining terror and nostalgia, surreal comedy and the poetry of the commonplace, Strange Pilgrims is a triumph of storytelling by our most brilliant writer.

-Titulo Original : Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes: The Official Biography-Fabricante : Penguin-Descripcion Original: People think that stories are shaped by people.

Terry Pratchett, creator of the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series, knight of the realm, and holder of more honorary doctorates than he knew what to do with, was known and loved around the world for his wildly popular books, his brilliant satirical humor, and for the humanity of his campaign work.

But now, in the only authorized biography of one of our best known and best loved writers, his manager and friend Rob Wilkins picks up where Terry left off, and with the help of friends, family, and Terrys own unpublished work, tells the full story of an extraordinary life...
