¿Cuántos de nosotros vivimos atrapados en trabajos deprimentes sin posibilidad de escape a la vista? ¿Cuántos acabamos viviendo la vida de otro hasta el punto de no reconocernos en el espejo? Muchos se resignan y aceptan que no hay salida posible, y continuan sepultando su talento y su pasion en ese trabajo desalentador que les quita la alegria. No ven alternativa, asi que se distancian emocionalmente de su tarea diaria e intentan encontrar satisfaccion y sentido en otra parte. En realidad, estan renunciando a lo que son en esencia y sacrificando, por tanto, la expresion de su autentico ser. Otros deciden vivir con austeridad y cumplir con un empleo que simplemente les permita cubrir sus necesidades basicas; no disfrutan de su trabajo, pero tienen tiempo para hacer las cosas que les encantan (o eso creen). Sin saberlo, han decidido conformarse con migajas, tanto en lo que se refiere a la autorrealizacion como en lo que se refiere a una vida prospera. No te conformes. Eso que amas hacer, eso que expresa tu talento puede, y debe, ser tu medio de vida. Y no tienes por que hacer sacrificios o renunciar a la abundancia. Es posible tenerlo todo. Hay gente que consigue encontrar ese trabajo. Son personas que se juraron fidelidad a si mismas, se arriesgaron y aprendieron de sus errores. Viven una vida plena porque se ex...

Al igual que los héroes de antaño se lanzaban a realizar sus sueños y a lomos de un caballo se adentraban en bosques encantados, muchos hombres y mujeres siguen recorriendo un camino para "encontrarse" a si mismos. Como descubrio don Quijote hace muchos años, una mision no siempre resulta ser como se habia planeado. Los viajeros sufren contratiempos inesperados o se pierden porque alguien les ha orientado mal, y algunas situaciones que han de afrontar son un autentico reto.Sin embargo, por extraño que parezca, las desventuras (y a veces hasta los desastres) generan confianza. Este libro trata sobre esta oportunidad de aprender. Vas a estar en compañia de hombres y mujeres que iniciaron grandes aventuras y dieron un proposito a sus vidas trabajando en pos de algo que para ellos tenia un profundo sentido. Encontraras aqui sus relatos y las lecciones que aprendieron. Sabras lo que les sucedio por el camino, pero, sobre todo, sabras por que ocurrio y por que importa. Fabuloso...Bien escrito, entretenido e inspirador.Huffington PostLas increibles aventuras a las que Chris Guillebeau nos remite en Tu sueño hecho realidad, incluida la suya propia de viajar a todos los paises del mundo, me dejaron exhausto. Claro que, siendo alguien que trabaja desde casa, la mayoria de los dias mis aventuras se reducen a darme una ducha. Ahora, hablando en serio: los relatos de este libro son de verdad inspiradores, y muy, muy entretenidos.Joel Stein, columnista de la revista Time y autor de Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity Chris Guillebeau es el Indiana Jones de nuestros tiempos.Gretchen Rubin, autora de Objetivo: felicidadCuando la mision consiste en un viaje o en alcanzar una meta, puede ser satisfactoria, divertida e incluso provocar un cambio de paradigma. Pero cuando la mision nace de un anhelo profundo y se transforma en autentica vocacion, se convierte en medicina para el alma, y eso lo cambia absolutamente todo. La felicidad de hacer realidad nuestros sueños es una invitacion a escuchar a esa parte de nosotros que busca desesperadamente algo que de verdadero sentido a nuestra vida; esa parte que dice: "¡Eh, despierta! Hay una aventura diseñada expresamente para ti que te espera".Lissa Rankin, autora de Mind Over Medicine

A powerful antidote to deadline dread, time guilt, and chronic rushingfrom the New York Times bestselling author of The $100 StartupIn a world obsessed with squeezing the most out of every moment, the fear of falling behind can trap us in a paralyzing stress cycle. Incomplete to-do lists, unanswered emails, and unmet life goals haunt our thoughts, leaving us overstimulated and exhausted. In Time Anxiety, Chris Guillebeau, author of the popular newsletter A Year of Mental Health, reveals that this pervasive sense of time scarcity stems not from a lack of hours in the day but from unrealistic expectations and misaligned priorities. Weaving together eye-opening research on time perception, executive functioning challenges, and the psychological roots of avoidance, he offers a bold path for redefining our relationship with the clock. The first step is to build a tolerance for incomplete to-do lists and the inevitability of disappointing people, abandoning the goal of "catching up. We have to set our own limits because no one else will. From there, Guillebeau guides readers through a process of: Identifying cognitive distortions that make routine tasks feel high-stakes, regulating the nervous system through grounding techniques and breathwork, and embracing the goal of good enough Uncovering the unwritten "time rules" that govern our days (I return phone calls within an hour or I reply to every email the same day, without exception) and creating new rules that better serve us Weighing the trade-offs between competing values and priorities so we can invest our finite energy wisely, operating out of an empowered rather than a fear-based state Ultimately, Time Anxiety is a call to wake up from the trance of busyness and reclaim our most precious resource. By breaking the habits of overstressing, overdoing, and underliving, we can start savoring our limited time on earth.
