What is a meaningful life, and how do we make one? How do certain communities foster closeness, fulfillment, happiness, and energy? In Flourish, bestselling author and leading culture expert Daniel Coyle trains his eye on the groups and people who demonstrate exceptional connectivity, presence, and dynamism. He draws on research and original reporting—taking us inside an unlikely brotherhood of thirty-three men who were trapped in a Chilean mine, a tiny Michigan deli that blossomed into a $90 million ecosystem of businesses, an inventive Dutch soccer team that revolutionized the sport as we know it, and a disconnected Paris district that remade itself into a tight-knit neighborhood—to reveal the principles and practices that ignite and sustain thriving. He finds that flourishing groups do two things: They make meaning (creating deep connections) and build community (forging a common good). Through captivating real-world stories, rigorous scientific studies, and firsthand accounts, Coyle reveals what sets some groups apart—and offers you the tools and insights to flourish in your own life.

Flush es un cocker spaniel de pura raza poseedor de una extremada sensibilidad a las emociones humanas. Llega a la vida de Elizabeth Barrett, la poetisa más admirada de Inglaterra, en uno de sus momentos más difíciles. Animal y humana establecerán casi de inmediato un vínculo insólito. Flush acompañará a Elizabeth en sus días más oscuros, será afligido testigo de su romance con el poeta Robert Browning y la seguirá en su huida a Italia en pos de la felicidad que le hará recobrar la salud. Flush es una historia original, tierna y llena de humor en la que Woolf vuelve a temas recurrentes como la vida en el Londres victoriano o la diferencia de clases, esta vez a través de la inocente mirada de un perro, lo que la convierte en una de las novelas más encantadoras de la literatura contemporánea.
