Esencia estructural
Los tratados de arquitectura que dieron forma a nuestro mundo
Si alguna vez se ha preguntado en qué piensan los arquitectos cuando proyectan un edificio, le encantará saber que no falta material brillante de lectura para satisfacer su curiosidad. Aunque una incursión en los archivos de la biblioteca de su ciudad seguramente le resultará muy provechosa, no le proporcionará la satisfacción inmediata que obtendrá con esta obra.
¿Te sientes infeliz en tu trabajo? ¿Tiendes a achacar tu frustración a un mal jefe, a la carga diaria o a tareas monótonas y aburridas? A menudo, esa insatisfacción tiene un origen más profundo: una necesidad psicológica que no está siendo cubierta, como no recibir el reconocimiento que mereces.
En este libro, la psicóloga Tessa West te ayuda a descubrir la verdadera razón de tu descontento y te muestra cómo encontrar un nuevo puesto en el que puedas prosperar, ya sea en otro cargo, en una nueva empresa o incluso en un sector completamente diferente. A partir de su investigación, en la que ha entrevistado a miles de personas que han cambiado recientemente de trabajo o han experimentado cambios en su carrera, ha identificado cinco factores comunes de frustración profesional:
* Crisis de identidad. ¿Tu identidad ya no encaja con tu trabajo?
* Distanciamiento. ¿No reconoces el empleo que antes te encantaba?
* Sobrecarga. ¿Estás asumiendo demasiados roles, cambiando de tareas con demasiada frecuencia, o te sientes atrapado?
* Ausencia de oportunidades. ¿Tienes la sensación de que sueles quedarte a las puertas del éxito?
* Falta de reconocimiento. ¿Estás haciendo un trabajo excelente, pero las personas que te rodean no valoran tu desempeño?
Teresa tuvo en vida una enorme capacidad de seducción. La sigue teniendo muchos años después. José María Javierre ha hecho de ella un retrato magnífico, una biografía estupenda. Su estilo es cortado, vivo, coloquial, chispeante, anecdótico, ameno, reflejando su condición de periodista, literato e historiador de alta calidad. Gran conocedor de la Santa, maneja sus textos con una oportunidad sorprendente. Cuantos nos acerquemos a este libro descubriremos en él el retrato palpitante y auténtico de Teresa. Y con ella reviviremos su entorno, su época, su circunstancia. Toda la historia de España y de la Iglesia del siglo XVI, de su inmensa inquietud, de sus grandes figuras.

This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and soul-stirring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried near the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself a king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles in his path. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within.
Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
Most of us don’t know how to spend money. We chase things that impress others but leave us cold. Or we save endlessly, afraid to spend on what would actually make life better. We confuse admiration with envy, comfort with excess, and utility with status.
The Art of Spending Money doesn't provide budgets, hacks, or one-size-fits-all solutions. It gives you understanding of how your relationship with money shapes your decisions—and how to reshape it so money works for you.
Morgan Housel’s work has helped millions rethink how they earn, save, and invest. Now he turns his attention to the other side of the equation: how to spend. With insight and warmth, he shows why the most valuable return on investment is peace of mind, why expectations matter more than income, and why doing well with money has less to do with spreadsheets and more to do with self-awareness.
This book isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting the most out of what you already have—and learning to want what’s worth wanting.
