SEGÚN ESTUDIOS DE ESTADOS UNIDOS, LAS PERSONAS FELICES VIVEN ENTRE SEIS Y DIEZ AÑOS MÁS QUE LAS NO FELICES.Una ola de descontento recorre el mundo, y cada vez menos personas se sienten verdaderamente felices. Las encuestas revelan un aumento constante de la insatisfaccion, el estres y la depresion a nivel global. ¿Que esta sucediendo? ¿Por que los niveles de infelicidad alcanzan records preocupantes? ¿Cuales son las ultimas innovaciones de paises, empresas, escuelas y la ciencia para revertir esta tendencia y aumentar la felicidad?Andres Oppenheimer explora este fenomeno global y ofrece nuevas perspectivas para salir del pozo de la insatisfaccion. A traves de una exhaustiva investigacion en diversos paises, concluye que el crecimiento economico -el parametro que usamos para medir el progreso- es necesario, pero no suficiente para aumentar la felicidad. Hay otros factores, como la perdida de comunidad, la carencia de proposito y la adiccion a las redes sociales, que estan alimentando la desesperanza. Sin embargo, lo mas interesante es que estan surgiendo soluciones concretas y accesibles para aumentar la satisfaccion de vida.A lo largo de esta reveladora y entretenida obra, los lectores se sumergiran en la nueva "ciencia de la felicidad", basada en evaluaciones de impacto respaldadas por evidencias solidas. Asi, Oppenheimer amplia el concepto de progreso y comparte novedosas estrategias para combatir la infelicidad en los paises, las empresas y las escuelas. Nos cuenta sobre las "escuelas de la felicidad" que visito en India, los "recetadores sociales"que entrevisto en el Reino Unido y los grupos de voluntarios con los que ha-blo en Dinamarca, Finlandia y Butan. He aqui un libro inspirador que transformara todo lo que siempre creimos sobre la felicidad.

Description of the goal of the e-book: present a critical and alternative approach in relation to Mansons book, seeking to stimulate further reflection on the topic and offer new perspectives to readers.The book "The Subtle Art of Liging the F*dse" by Mark Manson has become a great sales success, presenting a unique and unusable approach to achieving a better life. With his irreverent and stripped style, Manson proposes a strategy that involves basically failing to care about things that arent worth it and focus on the important stuff.However, although it has won many readers and fans, Mansons approach has been the subject of criticism for being simplistic and shallow in some respects. It is rightly with the aim of presenting a critical and alternative vision in relation to Mansons book that this e-book was created.Over the next few pages, we will present a detailed analysis of each of the main points of Mansons approach, looking to show its limitations and flaws, as well as present new perspectives and more complete approaches to a better life.Our goal is not to undeserving Mansons oeuvre, but rather to stimulate further reflection on the topic, offering readers a more critical and comprehensive view on how to live a more full and satisfying life. We hope that this e-book will be a valuable source of insights and reflections for all those who wish to achieve a better life, in a more healthy, realistic and complete way.

Obesity is a complex health condition characterized by excessive excess body fat, which can have effects on physical and emotional health. In the contemporary world, obesity has become a global epidemic, affecting people of all ages, genders and ethnic backgrounds. Understanding obesity and its intrinsic relationship to nutrition is critical to effectively addressing this issue.Definition of Obesity and its CausesObesity is defined by the body mass index (BMI), a measure that relates an individuals weight to height. A BMI of 30 or more indicates obesity. However, obesity is not just a matter of aesthetics. It is associated with a number of serious health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, sleep apnea and various forms of cancer.The causes of obesity are multifactorial and complex. They involve the interaction between genetic, environmental, behavioral and metabolic factors. The abundant availability of high-calorie foods rich in vitamins and sugars, along with a sedentary lifestyle, are the main factors that have created for the rise in obesity rates. Additionally, individual metabolic issues and hormonal imbalances can also play a role in predisposing to obesity.Importance of Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of ObesityNutrition plays a crucial role in both preventing and treating obesity. The relationship between food consumption and weight gain is direct, as excess calories consumed are stored as body fat. Therefore, taking a balanced approach to diet is essential.A balanced diet consists of providing the body with the nutrients it needs for proper function, while controlling total caloric intake. This involves a proper mix of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and vitamins, as well as taking in essential vitamins and minerals.When considering obesity prevention and treatment, it is important to take a long-term approach. Extremely restrictive or drastic diets can result in temporary weight loss, but they are often unsustainable and can lead to the accordion effect. Instead, the focus should be on promoting healthy and sustainable lifestyle changes, including conscious food choices and regular physical activity.In summary, obesity is a global challenge that affects the health and well-being of many people. Nutrition plays a key role in the prevention and treatment of obesity, and a balanced, long-term approach is needed to achieve lasting results. Throughout this ebook, we will explore in detail how nutrition can be a powerful ally in the journey to combat obesity and the search for a healthier lifestyle.

.El acto de resistir trasciende por mucho la indignación que le dio origen. Es un encuentro con el destino, la última y desesperada exhortación de justicia. Los migrantes que llegan a la gran ciudad escapando del hambre y la carencia, los estudiantes del movimiento del 68, la huelga de hambre de las madres de los presos y desaparecidos politicos, la sorprendente hazaña del Guero Medrano y la colonia Ruben Jaramillo; las cronicas reunidas en este libro son el testimonio de una lucha inclemente, de una historia escrita desde abajo con la conviccion de que la libertad y la igualdad son valores presentes que se renuevan todos los dias.La Biblioteca Elena Poniatowska reune la obra narrativa, ensayistica y de denuncia de la escritora que le dio voz a los grandes heroes de nuestro tiempo, luchadores de carne y hueso olvidados por los libros de historia.

Pocas palabras son tan usadas en la discusión política en nuestros días como populismo, ya sea en los medios, la academia o la conversación a pie de calle. Pareciera que no hay país donde no exista un lider o una lideresa populista agitando a las masas y polarizando a la sociedad entre el pueblo bueno y las elites corruptas.Pero ¿de que hablamos en realidad cuando hablamos de populismo?, ¿de una ideologia?, ¿una forma de gobernar?, ¿una estrategia electoral? El debate es inagotable y existen tantas definiciones como encarnaciones de este fenomeno que parece multiplicarse en el mundo, sobre todo en Hispanoamerica. A izquierda y derecha del espectro ideologico, el populismo tiene una extraordinaria capacidad de adaptacion y puede cooptar y defender las ideas o propuestas mas variadas. Por ello, triunfa en sociedades con condiciones economicas, historicas y culturales diferentes.Este libro de ensayos reune el analisis de respetados y reconocidos periodistas, politologos y estudiosos del fenomeno, donde cada uno examina las diversas manifestaciones del populismo en sus paises. Esperamos que este conjunto de voces analiticas ilumine a todos los que desean alzar la voz y advertir sobre los riesgos y amenazas que entraña el populismo.

Un texto brillante en favor de la libertad y las disidencias en el que descubriremos cómo lucha LGTBIQ+ es una reivindicación que nos concierne a todos, una verdadera contienda social y de clase para construir un futuro colectivo desde la disidencia.Pero, si ya podeis casaros, ¿que mas quereis? ¿Que se puede desear mas alla de formar una familia productiva, traer nuevos trabajadores y trabajadoras al mundo, obtener alguna rebaja fiscal y asegurarse de que, al morir, sera la sangre de nuestra sangre la que herede lo poco que hayamos acumulado con el sudor de nuestra frente? ¿Acaso hay algo mejor, promesa mas esperanzadora, que la ansiada, reivindicada y al fin conquistada normalidad?La quimera de la normalidad, entendida como una manera concreta de consumo, se ha convertido en un obstaculo para las luchas sociales y de clase. El deseo de asimilarse a aquello normal, de pasar desapercibidas, ha silenciado en el debate las disidencias y los modos de vida alejados del sistema productivo y reproductivo capitalista. En contraposicion, deberiamos poder reivindicar mas que nunca otros modos de vida que inviten a toda la sociedad a transformarse desde los margenes, a amariconarse, a revolucionar los afectos, los cuidados y, tambien, los placeres. Una via alternativa, un horizonte colectivo que no descarte las realidades discordantes con una sociedad cuyo epicentro es la familia nuclear y cishetero.Christo Casas, periodista y antropologo, presenta en Maricas malas un texto a medio camino entre el ensayo y el relato personal en el que descubriremos que las luchas queer son una reivindicacion que nos concierne a todos, una verdadera contienda social y de clase para construir un futuro colectivo desde la disidencia. Un ensayo lucido que constituye una verdadera invitacion a toda la sociedad a bucear en sus propias practicas disidentes y a enorgullecerse de ellas.RESEÑAS: La cultura LGTBIAQ+, callejera, furtiva, incomoda, carnal, desafiante, perversa, nocturna, enferma y profundamente hermosa ha sufrido un proceso de gentrificacion, a medias academico, a medias institucional, que nos ha restado potencia y nos ha hurtado nuestros antes poderosisimos modos de colectivizarnos. Desde Paco Vidarte nos ha faltado un asidero que estructure ese amor y esa violencia poetica para vindicarnos como una maravillosa otredad. Christo Casas ha venido a solucionar esa carencia con sus Maricas malas.Alana S. Portero, autora de La mala costumbreMaricas malas es un desplazamiento que nos hace ver el potencial util, revolucionario y gozoso de amariconar el mundo, no solo para las personas LGTBI. Un argumento honesto, descarnado y generoso del potencial destructivo para las cadenas que atan a todo el mundo.Ignacio Elpidio Dominguez, autor de Se vende diversidadChristo Casas ha escrito una (in)digna continuacion para aquella Etica marica que vino a agitar la comodidad asimilacionista en la que el activismo LGTBI ha acostumbrado a instalarse tras la aprobacion de leyes, mas movilizando la esperanza de que esta vez la historia puede escribirse de otra forma. Retomando las propuestas utopicas y radicales de los frentes de liberacion de los setenta, al tiempo que declara una guerra de clases y sin cuartel a la normalidad, este libro redistribuye el mariconeo como una ......

Fruto de un estudio científico, este libro se sumerge en la dolorosa realidad de la reincidencia en la violencia contra las mujeres en el marco de las relaciones conyugales y externaliza notables y valientes historias de supervivencia, a pesar de sus insistencias en permanecer en una relacion desigual.Atraves de testimonios intimos y conmovedores, sacamos a la luz la violencia intrafamiliar, las agresiones fisicas y psicologicas, abriendonos los ojos a la urgente necesidad de combatir y erradicar este mal que acecha a nuestra sociedad.Basandose en datos cuantitativos y cualitativos, la autora explora los factores que contribuyen a la perpetuacion de la violencia domestica, como las desigualdades de genero, la violencia estructural y las normas socioculturales arraigadas.

La élite tecnológica tiene un plan para sobrevivir al apocalipsis: dejarnos a todos atrás.Cinco misteriosos multimillonarios convocaron al teórico Douglas Rushkoff a un resort desértico para una charla privada. ¿El tema? Como sobrevivir al Evento: la catastrofe social que saben que se avecina. Rushkoff llego a la conclusion de que estos hombres estaban bajo la influencia de La mentalidad (The Mindset), una certeza al estilo de Silicon Valley de que ellos y su cohorte pueden romper las leyes de la fisica, la economia y la moral para escapar de un desastre de su propia creacion, siempre y cuando tengan suficiente dinero y la tecnologia adecuada.En La supervivencia de los mas ricos, Rushkoff rastrea los origenes de The Mindset en la ciencia y la tecnologia hasta su expresion actual en las misiones a Marte, los bunkeres insulares, el futurismo de la IA y el metaverso. En una docena de capitulos urgentes y apasionantes, se enfrenta al utopismo tecnologico, a la informatizacion de todas las interacciones humanas y a la explotacion de esos datos por parte de las empresas. A traves de personajes fascinantes -programadores expertos que quieren rehacer el mundo desde cero como si rediseñaran un videojuego y banqueros que vuelven de Burning Man convencidos de que el capitalismo incentivado es la solucion a los desastres medioambientales- Rushkoff explica por que quienes tienen mas poder para cambiar nuestra trayectoria actual no tienen interes en hacerlo. Y muestra como las recientes formas de rebelion contra la corriente dominante -QAnon, por ejemplo, o las acciones meme- refuerzan el mismo orden destructivo.Esta alucinante obra de analisis social nos muestra como trascender el paisaje creado por The Mindset -un mundo vivo con algoritmos e inteligencias que recompensan activamente nuestras tendencias mas egoistas- y redescubrir la comunidad, la ayuda mutua y la interdependencia humana.En una conclusion atronadora, La supervivencia de los mas ricos sostiene que la unica forma de sobrevivir a la catastrofe que se avecina es asegurarse de que no se produzca en primer lugar.
