About this item
Somos afortunados. Para la mayoría de nosotros, las hambrunas, la guerra, la depresión económica y otras catástrofes que ponen en peligro nuestra vida son solo temas tratados en los libros de historia.Vivimos en una era con altos índices de longevidad, educación y riqueza. Vamos en coche, mientras nuestros teléfonos móviles nos entretienen hasta que llegamos a casa, donde podemos disfrutar de la comida que nos han entregado a domicilio. ¡Lo tenemos todo!Pero hay un unico efecto secundario. Y es que ya no disponemos de las herramientas para gestionar el fracaso, ni siquiera somos capaces de percibirlo. Actualmente, cuando tropezamos nos quedamos llorando en la acera. Cuando nos quebramos, nos hacemos añicos.Nos estamos convirtiendo en un ejército de muñecas de porcelana.
About the Author
Hey Amazon Author Bio Readers, I know you... because I am you! I always read the Amazon Author's Bios. So, me:My name is Neil Pasricha and I think, write, and speak about living intentionally.All of my work focuses under the themes of gratitude, happiness, failure, resilience, and trust. I'm the the author of six books including: THE BOOK OF AWESOME, a spinning rolodex of simple pleasures based on my 100-million-hit, award-winning blog 1000 Awesome Things, THE HAPPINESS EQUATION, originally written as a 300-page love letter to my unborn son on how to live a happy life, AWESOME IS EVERYWHERE, an interactive introduction to guided meditation for children, and YOU ARE AWESOME, my new book about resilience and how we thicken our skin in these thin-skinned times. My books have spent over 200 weeks on New York Times and International bestseller lists and sold over 1,000,000 copies across dozens of languages. I also give over 50 speeches a year at places like TED, SXSW, and Google. My first TED talk "The 3 A's of Awesome" is ranked one of the 10 Most Inspiring of all time and my second is called "How do you maximize your tiny, short life? ", an artistic side-project called the world's first TED Listen, composed entirely of questions. I also host an Apple "Best of 2018" podcast called 3 Books where I am on a 15-year-long mission to uncover and discuss the 1000 most formative books in the world. Each of the 333 chapters unpacks the 3 most formative books of an inspiring individual like Judy Blume, Chris Anderson of TED, the world's greatest Uber driver, or David Sedaris. The show is recorded live at the guest's preferred location and is 100% ad, sponsor, and interruption free. Each chapter publishes on the exact minute of every new moon and full moon up to September 1, 2031. I share my most current writing in a bi-weekly email I send to over 30,000 people every other Wednesday.
