"Una divertidísima mirada al lado oscuro de la naturaleza humana. La mayoría de la gente sueña con vengarse de un ex o de un compañero de trabajo, pero pocos realmente llevan a cabo estos actos vengativos, y menos aún logran hacerlo con garbo. La venganza es dulce está repleto de historias de gente que logró tomar su venganza. A veces, impulsivamente, otras, deliberada y después de años de resentimiento. Hay actos de revancha para cada situación: Una mujer puso las cenizas de su perezoso marido en un reloj de arena para finalmente hacerlo trabajar. Un empleado registró la dirección de correo electrónico de su jefe en una página de pornografía. Un niño arrancó las dos últimas páginas de la novela policial que su madrastra leía durante la misa. La venganza es dulce incluye las mejores historias de revancha en la política, los deportes, el colegio, las fuerzas armadas, muestra las repercusiones de los actos de venganza y también se pregunta si en verdad vale la pena tomarse el trabajo. Divertido, inspirador e inquietante nos muestra lo mejor y lo peor del ser humano. Después de leerlo no volverá a ser grosero con un camarero"

The word liminal comes from the Latin word limen, meaning threshold. In its literal sense, a threshold is a doorway. Liminal is often used to describe the gateway between two stages.A liminal space can be a metaphysical state the place between sleep and wakefulness, between life and death where consciousness is altered, the transition period between one life event and the next; or it can be a physical space the coastline between sea and shore, an empty art gallery, or the moment just before it rains.In an age where so much importance is placed on facts and explanations, the feelings we derive from liminal unknown spaces can disrupt our equilibrium. Yet these spaces in between are often where insight, creativity and inspiration are found.Here, life-long liminal explorer and journalist Claire Gillman helps us learn and grow through our experiences of liminality. Featuring contributions from leading luminaries including Bruce Parry, Caroline Myss, Dr Eben Alexander, Neale Donald Walsch, Phyllis Curott, Yasmin Boland, Dr Robert Holden, Satish Kumar, Dr Mike Dow and Felicity Warner, Claire shows us how we can navigate and embrace liminal experiences to enhance our wellbeing and understanding of the world.
