The Robot and the Gardener
Being Fully Human in an Artificial Age: A Parable
Por Robin Sharma

Sinopsis
From the #1 bestselling author of The 5AM Club and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari comes a profoundly moving story about becoming fully human in our technology-filled, distraction-driven world—and discovering what’s most important to a life of happiness, wonder and purpose.
Meet Niko, a talented coder who seemingly has it all: social status, luxury goods and a sleek, high-rise apartment. His world is filled with technology designed to make him more productive, relevant and successful. But lately, Niko’s days blur together. His life is a rush of busyness, leaving him flooded with pressure and empty of joy.
When Niko’s estranged grandfather, a billionaire tech titan, suddenly dies, Niko must confront a painful past. At the funeral, Niko encounters the cemetery caretaker, who stuns Niko with a simple observation: “A life can be impressive and still be unlived.”
The Gardener presents Niko with an unusual offer: meet at dawn and join him in his work at the graveyard. The invitation strikes Niko as odd, but, as he observes the Gardener and his plain clothes, with a peaceful face and hands worn from laboring in the sun, something deep and honest pulls at him.
In the weeks that follow, Niko begins to shed the restless craving and lack of fulfillment had marked his life. He learns the joys of slowing down, the wisdom of simplicity, and original lessons from human lives beautifully lived. He discovers nature and its teachings for the first time in years. And he stops seeking the approval of others and behaving artificially—recognizing that being true to one’s self is a great source of power and that the past is not a burden, but a valuable guide. But just as Niko embraces in his newfound path, the outside world threatens to bring it crashing down.
Returning to the parable form of his massive global bestsellers, Robin Sharma in The Robot and the Gardener shows us that our greatest worth comes not from optimizing ourselves into oblivion and rushing through our days but from remembering what makes us human and honoring the gifts hidden within every life.

La Humanidad en crisis
La Supraconciencia es la oportunidad para el cambio
Una invitación a plantearnos la vida que llevamos.
¿Por qué cuando aparentemente tenemos tanto nos sentimos tan vacíos? ¿Qué nos lleva a la soledad justamente cuando vivimos en un mundo hiperconectado? ¿Qué pasa cuando crecemos sin valores espirituales? ¿Por qué el suicidio es la causa número uno de muerte entre los jóvenes? Vivimos más años que nunca, pero cada vez más personas —especialmente jóvenes— sienten que la vida carece de sentido.
