        Pause and Sense

        by Emily Atallah

        Thousands of people say things such as “I have no time”, “when did life pass me by”, or “I have nothing left to live for.” According to the WHO, nearly 700,000 people commit suicide every year, and conditions such as depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and lack of purpose are increasingly rooted in our societies, blocking our view to a life full of light and possibilities. In the age of instant connectivity, we have never been as disconnected, unmotivated and empty as we are now. In these pages, you will find 10 practical tools that will help you get unstuck, find your way through pain, and reconnect with your purpose towards a plentiful life. The book is divided in three sections that help you understand what is valuable about life, what we can give to the world as human beings, and how we can embrace challenges, increase connectivity with each other and increase our awareness. This book invites you to enrich your own life, through reflections that help you go deep inside, and examples of how others who when through similar experiences, got through them to live a happier, meaningful, and purposeful life.

        The Gospel of Prosperity

        Literary and critical perspectives about the science of getting right quick

        by Luis Miguel Estrada

        In 2020, amidst the whirlwind of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ideas from books about the science of becoming a millionaire returned to Luis Miguel Estrada whom, since he left a financial job, has dedicated himself fully to literature. In this book, he thinks  some of the key questions raised by bestsellers from Napoleon Hill to Kiyosaki. Do we stop seeking money just because we pursue art? More importantly: regardless of what we do, how do we seek money? Why have narratives like positive thinking and the law of attraction become a universal language that gains strength during each economic crisis? Is there a link between bestsellers about the science of getting rich and great universal literature? This book attempts to answer these questions, beginning with the origins of books on becoming a millionaire, which delve into the agile 19th-century United States, transition through the fast-paced turn of the century, and explode in the years after the Great Depression. The journey continues with examples of wild successes (real-life fraudsters like Elizabeth Holmes or fictional criminals like Walter White from Breaking Bad) that prompt us to question the influence of success-at-any-cost ideas on popular culture, as well as their ethical limits. How can one reconcile readings, cultural products, and experiences that seem so distant? The broader reading audience responds more to "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill than to "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Is there a way to read them alongside each other and emerge renewed from the experience? This book invites you on that adventure.

        La certeza de los caminos

        by Daniela Rosset

        La certeza de los caminos es la necesaria continuación de Pasos Aparentes, novela en la que Gabriela Valier –buscando ser la hacedora de su propio destino- se dejaba encandilar por el mundo aparentemente perfecto que le ofrecía el capitán Diego Venturi. Pronto descubría la trastienda sucia de una historia que involucraba incluso a su propia familia y, cuando los secretos se revelaban con su fetidez, arrastraban a Gabriela hacia el abismo. En esta segunda parte, tras su matrimonio fallido con Diego Venturi, Gabriela regresa a Córdoba acompañada por su suegra y por su cuñado, Esteban Paz. Es mayo de 1940 y con sus escasos veintiún años, Gabriela carga con heridas y estigmas difíciles de superar. Pero su fuerza interior no se ha perdido y, a pesar de que fantasea con el retorno a su Paraná natal, pronto van abriéndose caminos a su paso con tonada cordobesa, y la figura de Esteban –invisible para ella hasta apenas un año atrás- crece, se fortalece y se agiganta a tal punto que se convierte en el nombre que no puede dejar de repetir. Animarse a cuestionar creencias propias y ajenas, desnudar hipocresías familiares, vencer prejuicios y liberarse del peso del deber ser será el desafío y el proceso de ambos si quieren recorrer juntos esos nuevos caminos.

        De la confesión nocturna

        by Carmen Nozal

        El último libro de la poeta Carmen Nozal titulado De la confesión nocturna posee dos partes en su estructura: De la Divinidad con forma y de la Divinidad sin forma. En él recurre a contraponer dos realidades desde la creencia y la escritura. Ella reconoce que esta forma puede ser múltiple o no; pero al mismo tiempo contrapone esta realidad en el ejercicio escritural; en la sección “De la Divinidad con forma”, la autora recurre a formas estróficas clásicas como sonetos, décimas, silvas entre otras, y en la segunda parte “De la Divinidad sin forma”, se desprende de los recursos clásicos y recurre al verso libre o al prosema para reflejar con igual tratamiento la vehemencia por Dios, cualquiera que sea su forma. Nuestra poeta, no sólo se sustenta en la Biblia y en los místicos españoles y latinoamericanos; también abreva y recorre otros paisajes y culturas. Cuando Carmen Nozal, poeta de oficio y dedicación, recibió el anhelado correo de la Fundación Fernando Rielo anunciándole su honroso puesto de finalista, se ubicaba a los poetas de acuerdo a su lugar de hábitat y la señalaban: Carmen Nozal-Cuauthémoc. Ahí la imagino en esas calles y avenidas de la Colonia Roma, donde afloran las librerías de viejo, entre el ruido de las calles, el caminar de las multitudes, los ruidos de los autos y del metro; las noticias, sus plantas creciendo en la pequeña huerta junto al balcón, entre sus cantos místicos y sus divinidades, con forma o sin forma, a las cuales hace su entrega, con destreza y belleza y aún en la terrena duda: “Pienso en la Divinidad, puede que no todos los días, pero casi. Quiero escribirle, sin embargo”. Javier Alvarado

        Anthropology of Christian Vocation

        From Person to Person

        by Juan Manuel Cabiedas

        The question regarding how to guide one’s own life is among the most pressing and serious questions. Both in its sacred understanding, as referring to a trascendent call, and in its lay conception, that connects the feeling of happiness to one’s self-fulfillment, the word vocation expresses the right way that a person follows to succesfully lead his or her own life. This may be the reason why, when talking about vocation, the word echoes all the elements that make up the identity of the human being: corporeity and spirituality, intelligence and sensitivity, conscience and freedom, personal biography and collective history. Without vocation, the personal being is doomed to treat oneself and to be treated with indifference.

        What Would the Pope Say?

        by Jaime Larrain

        Pope Francis is at a crossroads. The Catholic Church, still reeling from the cases of child abuse and the corruption scandals of the Vatican Bank, has an opportunity for redemption or for a final nail in the coffin, after the Pope’s closes advisor, Cardinal Bullbridge, is kidnapped. While the Pope ponders the destiny of the Church, Aum, the leader of the Chrysallis Team that in 2016 kidnapped business moghul Brian Feller, has set for himself the tremendous challenge of gathering the most important religious leaders of the world so they can witness The Experiment, a mysterious process that could breathe new life into the Catholic Faith. The Experiment was born in the island of Ithaca in 2010, thanks to the work of Aum and Father Thomas, the guardian of the Vatican´s secret files. The motivations of Aum and Thomas are not merely academic, there’s a much larger political agenda at play. Being 86 years of age, and with a very sick son, Aum rolls the dice and brings together the Dalai Lama, Pope Francis, historian Yuval Harari, philosopher Michael Onfray, and many others. But Cardinal Bullbridge wants to put an end to his, which he sees as a threat to the Papacy. And Commissioner Scorza, Vatican Chief of Security, is trying to solve the riddle while also dealing with some scandals of his own making. What Would the Pope Say? Is not just a history of the Vatican, it is the history of an ancient dream that can now become reality, a dream we all carry inside: a spirituality that goes beyond religions, and that is one and universal.
