Cómo liberarte de las cargas y abrazar la felicidad Recupera la alegría, la libertad interior y el entusiasmo por la vida. ¿Con qué frecuencia sientes alegría, una experiencia verdaderamente pura y no adulterada de tranquilidad, dicha y felicidad? Durante la infancia, nuestra alegría aparece de una manera inmediata, espontánea y libre. Pero a medida que nos convertimos en adultos, nos tenemos que enfrentar a la presión de afrontar mayores responsabilidades, demandas interminables y un aluvión de noticias inesperadas. Y, en el camino, nos olvidamos de cómo estar presentes en nuestras propias vidas. En El arte de vivir plenamente, Rachel Macy Stafford nos ofrece una guía práctica e inclusiva para navegar a través de una cultura de distracción y agotamiento, y encontrar el camino de regreso a lo que deleita nuestro corazón, nos hace sentir vivos y nos trae paz. Nos enseña cómo practicar con rigor la presencia, a través de la cual retornamos a la fuente de nuestro yo auténtico y a esa alegría que sólo se puede encontrar en el aquí y el ahora.

¿Quién no ha tomado alguna vez un psicofármaco? Y, sin embargo, ¿quién no alberga algún prejuicio sobre ellos, sobre quienes los toman o sobre los médicos que los prescriben? La enfermedad mental no es consecuencia de malas decisiones ni de una personalidad débil. La voluntad, los cambios de hábitos y el mensaje de determinación de «tú puedes» que se utilizan para mejorar el bienestar emocional no son suficientes para tratar un trastorno mental. En estos casos, los tratamientos disponibles son la psicoterapia y la medicación, los cuales se complementan muy bien, como afirma el doctor David López en esta guía divulgativa sobre los tratamientos farmacológicos en salud mental.

Lennon Carter’s life is falling apart. Then she gets a mysterious phone call inviting her to take the entrance exam for Drayton College, a school of magic hidden in a secret pocket of Savannah. Lennon has been chosen because—like everyone else at the school—she has the innate gift of persuasion, the ability to wield her will like a weapon, using it to control others and, in rare cases, matter itself. After passing the test, Lennon begins to learn how to master her devastating and unsettling power. But despite persuasion’s heavy toll on her body and mind, she is wholly captivated by her studies, by Drayton’s lush, moss-draped campus, and by her brilliant classmates. But even more captivating is her charismatic adviser, Dante, who both intimidates and enthralls her. As Lennon continues in her studies, her control grows, and she starts to uncover more about the secret world she has entered into, including the disquieting history of Drayton College. She is increasingly disturbed by what she learns, for it seems that the ultimate test is to embrace absolute power without succumbing to corruption...and it’s a test she’s terrified she’s going to fail.

From the dragon-filled Temeraire series and the gothic magical halls of the Scholomance trilogy, through the realms next door to Spinning Silver and Uprooted, this stunning collection takes us from fairy tale to fantasy, myth to history, and mystery to science fiction as we travel through Naomi Novik’s most beloved stories. Here, among many others, we encounter: • A mushroom witch who learns that sometimes the worst thing in the Scholomance can be your roommate. • The start of the Dragon Corps in ancient Rome, after Mark Antony hatches a dragon’s egg and bonds with the hatchling. • A young bride in the Middle Ages who finds herself gambling with Death for the highest of stakes. • A delightful reimagining of Pride & Prejudice, in which Elizabeth Bennet captains a Longwing dragon. • The first glimpse of the world of Abandon, the setting of Novik’s upcoming epic fantasy series—a deserted continent populated only by silent and enigmatic architectural mysteries. Though the stories are vastly different, there is a unifying theme: wrestling with destiny, and the lengths some will go to find their own and fulfill its promise.

Lorelei Kaskel, a folklorist with a quick temper and an even quicker wit, is on an expedition with six eccentric nobles in search of a fabled spring. The magical spring promises untold power, which the king wants to harness in order to secure his reign over the embattled country of Brunnestaad. Lorelei is determined to use this opportunity to prove herself and make her wildest, most impossible dream come true: to become a naturalist, able to travel freely to lands she’s only read about. The expedition gets off to a harrowing start when its leader—Lorelei’s beloved mentor—is murdered in her quarters aboard their ship. The suspects are the five remaining expedition mates, each with their own motive. The only person Lorelei knows must be innocent is her longtime academic rival, the insufferably gallant and maddeningly beautiful Sylvia von Wolff. Now in charge of the expedition, Lorelei must find the spring before the murderer strikes again—and a coup begins in earnest.
