El optimismo es la auténtica vacuna de la felicidad. Este es el libro que todos necesitamos leer ahora. En este nuevo libro del reconocido psiquiatra Luis Rojas Marcos... -Aprenderemos que sentir y pensar en positivo es una inversión sumamente rentable para desarrollar al máximo las posibilidades de vivir sanos y felices. -Conoceremos los ingredientes que distinguen el optimismo del pesimismo, e identificaremos los venenos más dañinos para el optimismo. -Exploraremos las fuerzas que forjan nuestro temperamento. -Y aprenderemos eficaces estrategias para fomentar el positivismo al tiempo que examinamos la influencia del mismo en las relaciones con otras personas, en la salud y en el trabajo. «A lo largo de los años, tanto en mi vida personal como en el mundo de la medicina, la psiquiatría y la salud pública, he tenido oportunidad de confirmar, en incontables ocasiones, que la forma de percibir e interpretar las situaciones que nos plantea la vida ejerce un inmenso poder sobre nuestras emociones, decisiones, conductas y juicios. Para disfrutar de una vida saludable y completa, no basta con curar los males que nos aquejan; es igualmente importante conocer y fortificar los aspectos favorables de nuestra naturaleza, que nos ayudan a motivarnos, a superar los retos y a alcanzar nuestras metas.» —Dr. Luis Rojas Marcos ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Optimism is the true vaccine for happiness. The book we all need to be reading right now. In this new book by renowned psychiatrist Luis Rojas Marcos: -We will learn that positive feeling and thinking are extremely profitable investments to fully develop the possibilities of living healthy and happy. -We will know the ingredients that differentiate optimism from pessimism, and we will identify the most harmful poisons for optimism. -We will explore the forces that shape our temper. -And we will learn effective strategies to promote positive thinking while examining the influence of positivity in relationships with other people, in health, and at work. “Over the years, both in my personal life and in the field of medicine, psychiatry, and public health, I have had the opportunity to confirm, on countless occasions, that the way we perceive and interpret the situations that we face in life exercises immense power over our emotions, decisions, behaviors, and judgments. To enjoy a healthy and full life, it’s not enough to cure the ills that afflict us; more so it is equally important to know and reinforce the favorable aspects of our nature, which help us motivate ourselves, overcome challenges and achieve our goals.” —Dr. Luis Rojas Marcos

A beautiful book on the famed Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas The Chinati Foundation, a world-famous destination for large-scale contemporary art, was founded by Donald Judd (1928-1994) to preserve and present a select number of permanent installations that were inextricably linked to the surrounding landscape in Marfa, Texas.

Photographer Zoe Leonard practices a type of cerebral roaming combined with carefully considered observation. For more than 20 years she has crisscrossed nature and culture, cityscapes and museums, always searching for signs that say something about structures, about natural and cultural conditions and the contradictions, parallels and connections between them. Leonard's photographs of anatomical wax figures, fashion shows, trees and fences present figures in sparse black-and-white images that open up visual fields of thought and reveal within them our visible world--the concrete and established structures that make up our reality. Leonard first created an international stir at the Documenta 9 exhibition in Kassel, Germany, in 1992, when she placed black-and-white photographs of female genitalia in the context of a male-dominated museum. Since then, the political aspects of her work have formed a backdrop for her constant struggle with shape, imagery and the union of symbols and content. This is the first book to showcase Leonard's complete oeuvre.

ISBN: 9781304259752

Petrichor Rising takes you on a journey that exposes you to the full spectrum of emotions, from barely concealed despair to hope, from love to sorrow, with a clear appreciation of nature's value and humanity's shortcomings. It rides a roller-coaster that moves you to consider many of life's challenges from a different perspective, as all good poetry should. Haunting yet shocking, aching nostalgia and enchanting stories about dragons. Optimism and hope tinged with shadows of doubt. Places never seen and humanity's uncaring nature, prosodic social commentaries and observations of the minutest details of life. Mood, atmosphere and romance. Clever writing that brings you close to the edge of society, still capable of moving you and not pulling any punches. Poetry with a universal appeal covering subjects as varied as the loss of a cat or a harrowing account of the 7/7 London bombings, poetry that focuses on the roots of all that makes us respond to life and long for something better.
