Some Instructions on Writing and Life
Anne Lamott - 1995-10-01 (publicado por primera vez en 1994)
Calificación de Goodreads
Pájaro a Pájaro es más que un libro dedicado a todo aquel que quiera escribir o mejorar lo que ya escribe. Es un libro con lecciones sobre la vida, el trabajo, la creatividad y el amor por las historias. Es un libro tremendamente divertido con el que se aprende, entre otras cosas, a escribir mejor.

The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know
Adam Grant - 2021-02-02
Calificación de Goodreads
Por lo general, asumimos que la inteligencia es la habilidad de pensar y aprender, pero en un mundo que cambia rápidamente como el actual, las habilidades para repensar y desaprender empiezan a valorarse más. Muchas personas privilegian la comodidad y la convicción por encima de la incomodidad y la duda; escuchan solo aquellas opiniones que les hacen sentir bien, en vez de las ideas que los desafían; ven el desacuerdo como una amenaza para su ego, en vez de una oportunidad para aprender; se rodean de personas que apoyan sus puntos de vista, en vez de gravitar en torno a sus contradictores. Cuanto más brillantes se creen, menos ven sus propias limitaciones. En este libro, el psicólogo organizacional Adam Grant, autor del bestseller mundial Originales (Paidós Empresa, 2017), muestra por qué no debemos creer todo aquello que pensamos ni tomarnos a pecho todo lo que sentimos, al tiempo que explica las ventajas de aprender a vivir en un estado de permanente aprendizaje y cuestionamiento. Piénsalo otra vez es una invitación para soltar aquello que no sirve y privilegiar la flexibilidad mental por encima de la rigidez obstinada y paralizante. Si el conocimiento empodera, saber que no lo sabemos todo, nos hace sabios.

This is such great wisdom from @AdamMGrant. He’s a great follow on here and his book “Think Again” is phenomenally good. 💯      fuente

A True Story and Other Lies
Derek Delgaudio - 2021-03-02
Calificación de Goodreads
"Amoralman" explores the blurred line between truth and deception through the eyes of one of the world's leading deceivers, Derek DelGaudio. He takes readers on a journey of self-discovery as he confronts his past and grapples with his own sense of morality. This thought-provoking and brilliantly entertaining work of non-fiction is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of deception and the lies we tell ourselves.

I love this book by @derek_del. Highest recommendation. I think what I enjoy less is the spelling of my last name in this user review. I find this spelling neither “personal” nor “acceptable.” #MikeBrigriallia      fuente
Mi vida en Rose book cover
Mi vida en Rose
David Sedaris - 2001-01-01 (publicado por primera vez en 2000)
Calificación de Goodreads
Mi vida en Rose es el nuevo libro de relatos de David Sedaris, el maestro de la sátira, un brillante humorista estadounidense que sigue la tradición de Woody Allen o Groucho Marx. Delirantes y desternillantes, políticamente incorrectos, mordaces y en ocasiones impertinentes, estos relatos nos hablan,entre otras cosas, de cómo aprender francés a una edad adulta y los inconvenientes que conlleva esta valiente decisión, y nos presentan a un niño que hace terapia de pronunciación y a un profesor de escritura creativa que comete los más elementales fallos ortográficos y gramaticales. Sedaris vuelve a hacer una disección del absurdo de algunas conductas y de la vulgaridad de la vida cotidiana y familiar, esta vez desde el relativo anonimato de París, donde se ha refugiado tras haberse convertido en una estrella mediática en Estados Unidos.

@likaluca I recently re-read David Sedaris‘s book “me talk pretty one day” and laughed so damn hard. I thought I knew the book so well but it still had lines that snuck up on me.      fuente
