Zombi guia de supervivencia: ataques registrados by Brooks, Max.(CARDINAL)670436;
Ni la crisis económica ni el cambio climático? La principal amenaza que se cierne sobre la humanidad a día de hoy son los zombis, siempre dispuestos a perpetrar una masacre. Esta plaga se repite cíclicamente desde tiempos inmemoriales, y ya los hombres de las cavernas, los antiguos romanos, sir Francis Drake o la legión ext ranjera francesa la han confrontado con éxito. Max Brooks, que lo sabe bien, nos muestra en esta didáctica novela gráfica cómo han combatido las grandes civilizaciones de la humanidad la plaga zombi, para que tomemos ejemplo.

Que harias si no tuvieras miedo : el valor de reinventarse profesionalmente / by Vilaseca, Borja,1981-author.(CARDINAL)796697; Vilaseca, Borja;
"Nos adentramos en una nueva era con nuevas reglas de juego. Es hora de vencer los miedos que nos impiden seguir en nuestro corazón, y emprender una función profesional útil, creativa y con sentido. Este libro es un experimento: pretende remover tus creencias acerca del dinero, el trabajo y el consumo que han determinado, en gran medida, el lugar que ocupas en el escenario laboral. Nos han educado para ser empleados obedientes, contribuyentes pasivos y consumidores voraces, perpetuando así el funcionamiento del sistema económico. Sin embargo, la crisis económica actual sumada a la de valores nos demuestran cada día que ese sistema caducó hace tiempo y que nos encontramos ante una nueva era, con unas reglas del juego radicalmente diferentes. Borja Vilaseca plantea que en este nuevo entorno de nada nos servirá indignarnos, actuar como víctimas y culpar a algo o a alguien externo. Por eso, el autor insiste en que asumamos nuestro papel de principales co-creadores de nuestras circunstancias socioeconómicas y que comencemos a reinventarlas, no sin antes reinventarnos a nosotrosmismos. No se trata de que dejes tu trabajo. Ni de que curses otro máster. Al menos no todavía. Se trata de que tomes las riendas de tu vida y te hagas cargo de ti mismo, emocional y financieramente. Lo único que te separa de convertirte en el arquitecto de tu propia vida es el miedo a la libertad. Qué harías si no tuvieras miedo te ofrece un verdadero mapa para orientarte en ese viaje hacia tu realización profesional y personal." --ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: "Dive into a new era with new rules to play by. It's time to conquer the fears that keep us from following our hearts, and take on a professional role that is useful, creative, and purposeful. This book is an experiment: it attempts to shake up your beliefs about money, work, and consumerism that have largely determined the place you occupy in the labor scene. We have been brought up to be obedient employees, passive contributors, and voracious consumers, thus keeping the economic system running. Borja Vilaseca suggests that in this new environment, it does us no good at all to get angry, act like victims, and blame some external person or entity. Rather, we have to take the reins of our own lives and become responsible for ourselves, emotionally and financially. The only thing that impedes you from becoming the architect of your own life is the fear of freedom. What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid? offers a true map to guide you on that journey toward your personal and professional fulfillment." --
