Mujeres Que Compran Flores
Vanessa Montfort • 2018
Esta novela retrata cinco prototipos femeninos que Vanessa Montfort muestra con astucia, ingenio y mucho humor: el sindrome del copiloto, el de la superwoman, el de la bella sufriente, el de la mujer trofeo y el de la omnipotente. La revolución femenina estalló en el siglo pasado, pero es a las mujeres de ahora a las que les ha tocado hacerla real. Las mujeres han cambiado, pero la sociedad no lo ha hecho al mismo ritmo.Olivia regenta una curiosa floristeria en el centro de Madrid, un pequeño oasis llamado El Jardin del Ángel. Allí coinciden un grupo de mujeres para comprar flores, aunque ninguna lo hace para si misma ni por el mismo motivo: una compra para su madre anciana, otra para decorar su despacho, otra porque se ha enamorado y otra para superar la perdida de su marido. Cada una representa una categoria de la mujer actual y, con la ayuda de Olivia, todas ellas se enfrentaran a un cambio radical en sus vidas. Mujeres que compran flores es un divertido catalogo de personajes femeninos que reflexiona sobre los sindromes que afectan la mujer contemporánea pero, sobre todo, es una historia de amistad, de mujeres que comparten sus secretos y sus deseos mas ocultos.

El hombre en busca de sentido (Spanish Edition)
Viktor Emil Frankl • 2015
El doctor Frankl, psiquiatra y escritor, suele preguntar a sus pacientes aquejados de multiples padecimientos: Por que no se suicida usted? Y muchas veces, de las respuestas extrae una orientacion para la psicoterapia a aplicar: a este, lo que le ata a la vida son los hijos; al otro, un talento, una habilidad sin explotar; a un tercero, quizas, solo unos cuantos recuerdos que merece la pena rescatar del olvido. Tejer estas tenues hebras de vidas rotas en una urdimbre firme, coherente, significativa y responsable es el objeto con que se enfrenta la logoterapia. En esta obra, Viktor E. Frankl explica la experiencia que le llevo al descubrimiento de la logoterapia. Prisionero, durante mucho tiempo, en los desalmados campos de concentracion, el mismo sintio en su propio ser lo que significaba una existencia desnuda. Como pudo el que todo lo había perdido, que habia visto destruir todo lo que valia la pena, que padecio hambre, frio, brutalidades sin fin, que tantas veces estuvo a punto del exterminio, como pudo aceptar que la vida fuera digna de vivirla? El psiquiatra que personalmente ha tenido que enfrentarse a tales rigores merece que se le escuche, pues nadie como el para juzgar nuestra condicion humana sabia y compasivamente. Las palabras del doctor Frankl alcanzan un temple sorprendentemente esperanzador sobre la capacidad humana de trascender sus dificultades y descubrir la verdad conveniente y orientadora.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
Mark Manson • 2016
#1 New York Times Bestseller • More than 10 million Copies Sold<br/>In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.<br/>For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.<br/>Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.<br/>There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Los siete maridos de Evelyn Hugo (Spanish Edition)
Taylor Jenkins Reid • 2020
NO TE QUEDES FUERA DEL FENÓMENO LITERARIO MÁS IMPORTANTE DE LOS ÚLTIMOS AÑOS.<br/>Evelyn Hugo, el icono de Hollywood que se ha recluido a su edad madura, por fin decide contar la verdad sobre su vida llena de glamour y de escándalos. Pero cuando para ello elige a Monique Grant, una periodista desconocida, nadie se sorprende más que la propia Monique. ¿Por qué ella? ¿Por qué ahora?<br/>Monique no está precisamente en su mejor momento. Su marido la abandonó y su vida profesional no avanza. Aun ignorando por qué Evelyn la ha elegido para escribir su biografía, Monique está decidida a aprovechar esa oportunidad para dar impulso a su carrera.<br/>Convocada en el lujoso apartamento de Evelyn, Monique escucha fascinada mientras la actriz le cuenta su historia. Desde su llegada a Los Ángeles en los años 50 hasta su decisión de abandonar su carrera en el mundo del espectáculo en los 80 -y, desde luego, los siete maridos que tuvo en ese tiempo-, Evelyn narra una historia de ambición implacable, amistad inesperada y un gran amor prohibido.<br/>Monique empieza a sentir una conexión muy real con la legendaria actriz, pero cuando el relato de Evelyn se acerca a su fin, resulta evidente que su vida se cruza con la de Monique de un modo trágico e irreversible.

1984
George Orwell • 1961
<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...<br><br><b>• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s <i>The Great American Read •</i></b><br></b><br>“<i>The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.</i>”<br><br>Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...<br><br>A startling and haunting novel, <i>1984</i> creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. The way she undresses... I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go. Not even when she begs me to." --
