Nuestro cerebro no está diseñado para captar la realidad tal y como es, sino para que seamos capaces de sobrevivir. Si para conseguirlo tiene que distorsionar nuestra percepción de la realidad lo hara. Nuestros ancestros sobrevivieron porque su cerebro les impelia a repetir rutinas y no salirse del camino trazado. Esto tenia sentido en un entorno plagado de peligros donde improvisar o arriesgar significaba, casi indefectiblemente, perecer. En el momento presente vivimos en un entorno predecible, donde instituciones y leyes garantizan nuestra seguridad, pudiendo al fin innovar, arriesgar y reinventarnos sin miedo a ser aniquilados. Sin embargo -he aqui el problema- el periodo de relativa seguridad actual es insignificante comparado con los casi tres millones de años de evolucion en un contexto extremadamente amenazador. Por este motivo, nuestro cerebro no ha podido actualizarse aun y sigue invitandonos a la prudencia. En este libro expongo la forma de detectar como y cuando nos manipula nuestro cerebro hasta volvernos conformistas. Solo sabiendo esto seremos capaces de esquivar sus trampas y AUMENTAR NUESTRO POTENCIAL CREATIVO.

gosto de 2020. Sophia espera el veredicto de su padre sobre la obra de teatro que acaba de estrenar. Ella es una joven autora y él, un escritor famoso cuyas novelas no han envejecido demasiado bien. La obra de Sophia ha recibido criticas muy favorables, pero su padre ha evitado cuidadosamente leerlas. Cuando las luces se abre el telon, comprende que su hija ha expuesto su vida de forma descarnada: el verano que ambos pasaron juntos en Sicilia, y en el que el le dictaba su ultima novela, sirve como trama para una critica incisiva y muy ingeniosa de los usos y costumbres sexuales de los hombres de su generacion.El hipocrita combina con maestria distintos tiempos y planos de ficcion para iluminar hasta el ultimo rincon de una compleja relacion padre e hija, que es tambien el relato de como se tensa el vinculo entre dos generaciones cuando a una le llega el momento de sustituir a la otra.

100 Poemes és una antología personal de Seamus Heany, un recull de la seva poesia in memoriam i una celebració de l’autor, coherent amb els seus orígens i compromès amb l’art i la literatura.

Fascinada por días de sol, generosos, vibrantes, cuando el cuerpo se deja lamer por los rayos y la mente se evade en busca de Paraísos; consciente de que la vida también regala días sombríos, cargados de dolor, en que la angustia se aferra a cada poro, Mercedes Escolano procura compensarlos con la Literatura. Los libros la han rescatado muchas veces del abismo, regalandole horas entrañables. Al amor por la literatura une su interes por la Naturaleza: plantas y pajaros han sido para ella un balsamo capaz de devolverle el equilibrio. Con "Sol y sombra" ha obtenido el XXVIII Premio de Poesia Ciudad de Salamanca.
