Descriere: Escrito como una serie de cartas a sus hijos, Jorge Ramos--el periodista, viajero incansable, ganador del premio Emmy y autor bestseller--nos presenta el que es, sin duda, su libro más personal e íntimo Hay cosas que todo padre siempre quiere decirles a sus hijos. Sobre el amor. Sobre la muerte. Sobre lo que es realmente importante en la vida. Sobre el sexo. Sobre dios y la religión. Sobre sus abuelos y sus raíces. Sobre vivir en un país extranjero. Sobre cómo salir adelante. Y Jorge Ramos no se quedó con las ganas. En El Regalo del Tiempo nos recuerda que no hay que estar a punto de morirse para decirle a nuestros hijos cuanto los queremos y enseñarles las lecciones que, esperamos, les permitan llevar una vida más plena, honesta y-- por qué no?--alegre. Jorge comparte en este libro lo que nunca antes se había atrevido, siquiera, a sugerir en público. El Regalo del Tiempo es una mirada íntima y conmovedora del mundo en que vivimos y del rol que debe cumplir un padre. A través de su experiencia como testigo de muchos de los horrores y alegrías del mundo, Ramos le ofrece a sus hijos consejos sólidos que necesitan no solo para vivir, sino también para sobrevivir en el turbulento mundo de hoy. Sus sugerencias son universales. Este libro es de todos los tiempos y está cargado de emoción y de lecciones que sus hijos y sus lectores podrán llevar consigo para siempre. Aquí conocemos no solo la filosofía, los valores y las convicciones del conductor de televisión sino también al hermano, al hijo y, sobre todo, al padre que quiere contarles a sus hijos todas las cosas que ha aprendido en la vida. ""Al final de cuentas,"" concluye el padre-escritor, ""lo único que tenemos para regalarle a nuestros hijos es tiempo... nuestro tiempo.""

The Little Book of Sanuk: The Thai Secret to a More Joyful Life
3, We all need a little more sanuk in our lives Sanuk is a Thai concept that can loosely be translated as meaning 'fun'. Though sanuk is in fact much more than that; it's about achieving pleasure and joy in all aspects of life. For Thai people, if it's not sanuk, it's not worth doing. Thai people believe that it's the little things that add up to a joyful life. Whether it's raising happy kids, enjoying a quick chat with your neighbour or having a laugh with friends, they try to bring a sense of joy into their daily routines. This easygoing, fun-loving way of life is why Thailand is often called The Land of Smiles. But how can we learn to prioritise this sense of fun and pleasure in our own lives? With recent clinical studies showing a clear link between a person's outlook on life and their health, a mindset of optimism and positivity has obvious benefits. Being a glass half full kind of person doesn't just help us live longer, it helps us live better. Embracing sanuk and approaching life a glass-half-full attitude can make you happier, healthier and more productive - and this book will show you how.

Toward a Meaningful Life, New Edition: The Wisdom of the Sages
With a new foreword and chapter that address the upheaval that followed the events of September 11, this revised edition of Toward a Meaningful Life traces the root causes of our fear and uncertainty and lucidly outlines strategies for recovery and redemption. Profound yet accessible to readers of all backgrounds and beliefs, Toward a Meaningful Life provides comfort and renewed hope, showing us how to find solace even as we endure overwhelming suffering and inexplicable loss. Toward a Meaningful Life is a spiritual road map for living based on the teachings of one of the foremost religious leaders of our time: Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Head of the Lubavitcher movement for forty-four years and recognized throughout the world simply as "the Rebbe," Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who passed away in June 1994, was a sage and visionary of the highest order. Although the Rebbe's teachings are firmly anchored in more than three thousand years of scholarship, the urgent relevance of these age-old truths to contemporary life has never been more manifest. The principles the Rebbe derived from the sages embody a distinctly universal message, calling for humankind at all times to lead ...
