Out of My Mind (The Out of My Mind Series)

Sharon M. Draper · 2012

A New York Times bestseller for three years and counting!<br/><br/>“A gutsy, candid, and compelling story. It speaks volumes.” —School Library Journal (starred review)<br/>“Unflinching and realistic.” —KirkusReviews (starred review)<br/><br/>From award-winning author Sharon Draper comes a story that will forever change how we all look at anyone with a disability, perfect for fans of RJ Palacio’s Wonder.<br/><br/>Eleven-year-old Melody is not like most people. She can’t walk. She can’t talk. She can’t write. All because she has cerebral palsy. But she also has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She’s the smartest kid in her whole school, but NO ONE knows it. Most people—her teachers, her doctors, her classmates—dismiss her as mentally challenged because she can’t tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by her disability. And she’s determined to let everyone know it…somehow.

El caballero de la armadura oxidada (Spanish Edition)

ROBERT FISHER · 1997

Pocos libros han tenido la repercusión de El Caballero de la Armadura Oxidada, sin duda porque es mucho más que un libro. Las profundas enseñanzas éticas que contiene son impartidas con una gran simplicidad y con un toque de humor muy sutil. El protagonista, un caballero deslumbrado por el brillo de su armadura, a pesar de ser bueno, generoso y amoroso, no consigue comprender y valorar con profundidad las cosas que suceden a su alrededor. Su armadura se va oxidando hasta que deja de brillar y no puede quitársela. Prisionero de sí mismo, emprende entonces un viaje al final del cual, gracias a la ayuda de diversos personajes, logra sacarse la armadura. Este libro nos enseña, de una forma muy amena, que debemos liberarnos de las barreras que nos impiden conocernos y amarnos a nosotros mismos para poder ser capaces de dar y recibir amor. La famosa escritora Terry Linn Taylor ha declarado: “Si necesitas que te recuerden la importancia de amarte a ti mismo, Por favor lee El Caballero de la Armadura Oxidada. Cuando hayas llegado a la última página sabrás que la vida es buena, que eres amor, que eres maravilloso...”

They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.<br/>In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odor.

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

Héctor García, Francesc Miralles · 2017

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • 2 MILLION+ COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE<br/><br/>“Workers looking for more fulfilling positions should start by identifying their ikigai.” ―Business Insider<br/><br/>“One of the unintended—yet positive—consequences of the [pandemic] is that it is forcing people to reevaluate their jobs, careers, and lives. Use this time wisely, find your personal ikigai, and live your best life.” ―Forbes<br/><br/>Find your ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) to live longer and bring more meaning and joy to all your days.<br/><br/>“Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.” —Japanese proverb<br/><br/>According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—where what you love, what you’re good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy.<br/><br/>In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day?
