Summary : Un viaje a través del mundo del escarnio público por Jon Ronson, el autor de ¿Es usted un psicópata? Durante los últimos tres años Jon Ronson no ha parado de viajar para reunirse con personas que se han visto expuestas al escarnio público. Los humillados son personas como cualquiera de nosotros que un día, a través de las redes sociales, hicieron un comentario desafortunado o un chiste que resultó malinterpretado. Una vez que su pifia sale a la luz, la indignación general, enesas mismas redes sociales, cae sobre ellas con la violencia de un huracán y, en menos que canta un gallo, una turba enfurecida las destroza, se mofa de ellas y las demoniza hasta hacerles perder el trabajo y cambiar por completo sus vidas. El escarnio público ha renacido y recorre el mundo. La justicia ha sido democratizada. La minoría silenciosa empieza a manifestarseen voz alta, pero ¿qué dice todo ello de nosotros? Destacamos los defectos de los demás de manera implacable, definimos los límites de la normalidad echando a perder las vidas de aquellos que no se ciñen a las reglas. Estamos usando el escarnio (y la vergüenza) como una suerte de control social. Reseñas: «Un libro magnífico, rebosante de argumentos sutiles, a menudo dolorosamente cómico y sin embargo profundamente serio# Altamente recomendable.» The Daily Mail «Una obra periodística excelente y original que reflexiona sobre la compleja relación entre quienes humillany quienes son humillados, ambos foco potencial de los juicios grotescos y desproporcionados de las redes sociales.» Financial Times «Ronson es un periodista tenaz y a menudo valiente, cuyo agudo sentido del humor nunca resta un ápice de integridad a sus artículos periodísticos.» Sunday Times «Escalofriante y a veces hilarante. La típica actitud relajada de Ronson es una delicia.» The Independent

Summary : Del autor del bestseller La Cabaña, nos llega una de las novelas más inspiradoras de la década. En las costas de una isla entre dos dimensiones, encalla el container de una embarcación donde encuentran varios cadáveres y a una joven a punto de morir. John, que se encarga de sus cuidados, descubre que el código genético de la mujer la conecta con todas las razas conocidas. Nadie se imagina lo que significa realmente su supervivencia. Nadie, excepto Eva, la Madre de los Vivos, que la llama hija y la invita a ser Testigo de la verdad de su historia... de nuestra propia historia. ¿Por qué Dios no me protegió?, preguntó a Eva. Era la misma interrogante expresada por miles de millones de otras voces. La duda que surgía de tumbas y sillas vacías, de mezquitas e iglesias, de celdas de prisiones y callejones. La pregunta cuyas secuelas eran la fe desgarrada y los corazones maltrechos, que demandaban justicia y rogaban pidiendo milagros. Eva es una exploración reveladora sobre la Creación que, aunque fiel a los textos bíblicos, propone un desafío a las creencias tradicionales sobre quiénes somos y de dónde venimos. Del mismo modo que La Cabaña despertó en los lectores la necesidad de una comprensión profunda de Dios, esta nueva novela de Paul Young nos liberará de las interpretaciones erróneas que han corrompido las relaciones humanas desde los tiempos del Jardín del Edén, ayudándonos a vernos unos a otros como seres únicos y sin limitaciones.

Summary : Researcher and thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision in Daring Greatly that encourages us to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly and courageously. 'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly' -Theodore Roosevelt Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear perfect. Challenging everything we think we know about vulnerability, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that vulnerability is in fact a strength, and when we shut ourselves off from revealing our true selves we grow distanced from the things that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across the home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly. 'Brilliantly insightful. I can't stop thinking about this book' -Gretchen Rubin Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. Her groundbreaking work was featured on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday, NPR, and CNN. Her TED talk is one of the most watched TED talks of all time. Brené is also the author of The Gifts of Imperfection and I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't).
