This book explores how the beliefs and paradigms that govern our lives are manufactured and marketed, especially in the personal development industry. The text offers a deep analysis of how we have been trapped in an individualistic logic that promotes the idea that well-being depends exclusively on personal effort, when in reality many of our problems are of a social and collective nature. From this critique, an approach based on the power of the community is proposed, redefining our beliefs to build new, more inclusive and conscious realities. The book presents a clear and accessible method called "Creators," which invites readers to move from being passive consumers of ideas to active creators of new realities, where personal and collective transformation are intertwined. This makes it a unique resource in today's market, where the self-help industry has saturated people with empty promises of individual change.

El destacado astrónomo chileno construye en este libro una clara y concisa historia del origen y evolución del universo En El universo en expansión, Mario Hamuy (Premio Nacional de Ciencias Exactas) ofrece al lector herramientas indispensables para comprender, de forma clara y sencilla, los temas centrales de la astronomía contemporánea. Para realizar este viaje por el universo #que nos llevará por exoplanetas, nebulosas planetarias, supernovas, materia oscura, agujeros negros y que culminará en uno de los hitos de la cosmología: la expansión acelerada del universo#, debemos entender primero cuestiones tan fundamentales como qué es una supernova, de qué forma se miden las distancias entre planetas, qué pasó después del big bang o, por ejemplo, quién es Edwin Hubble. El objetivo de esta excursión, veremos, es responder una pregunta que la humanidad deberá enfrentar: ¿Cuál es el destino de las estrellas? Reseña: "Una excursión cuyo objetivo es ponernos al día en una de las ciencias que más pueden hablarnos sobre nuestro futuro como especie."

This book carries out a comparative analysis of the power struggles over the post-neoliberal social security reforms in Venezuela and Ecuador. The research breaks down why the social security system reform initiated by Hugo Chávez’ government in Venezuela has come down since its passing in 2002, whereas the social security system reform initiated by Rafael Correa’s government in Ecuador has come along in spite of the obstacles since 2007. All in all, the analysis determined that the struggles over the social security system reforms in both countries remarkably corresponded to each other with regard to their structural conditions, points of contention, and contending actors. In contrast, the analysis established substantial divergences regarding the ways in which the struggles over both reforms came about, due to the divergent development of the struggles for hegemony between government and opposition. These divergences finally brought about the indefinite stagnation of the reform in Venezuela and the advancement of subsequent partial reforms aimed at the universalization of social security in Ecuador.
