Author: Sandra Bruna Thursday 28 October 2021

I know I have told you a lot of times about anxiety. There are a lot of books about the brain, which is a great unknow. The books about the brain have always worked very well in the market considering that people want to know more about the brain, because everything we do and everything we are depends on. It is so powerful that it gets scary but at the same time it makes us feel a great curiosity.

It is because of this that “The Brain of Happy People” by Ferran Cases and Sara Teller, published by Grijalbo, is one of my favorite titles from de catalog of 2021. A non-fiction book, fresh, that combines the experiences of Ferran Cases, who has suffered from anxiety for fifteen years, and the scientific perspective of Sara Teller, physicist and specialist in neuroscience.

“The little book of anxiety”, by Ferran Cases, has already reached its four pocket edition. His online courses are helping a lot of people to overcome this feeling of fear, terror and restlessness that a lot of us feel almost every day. If you combine Ferran Cases’ experiences with anxiety attacks, with Sara Teller’s vision from a scientific perspective, we get an amazing result: a book with the necessary tools to forget about anxiety forever.

Who has never felt anxious? When understanding how the brain works, you get a SUPERPOWER: a better understanding of how you work to be able to defeat everything that causes you anxiety, as far as possible. Such a simple thing like reading this book and apply what it proposes to you, it allows you to overcome what undermines you from the inside and does not let you enjoy the day.

This anxiety, that I named it everyday anxiety, that all of us have felt some time in our day but we disregard until the ball is so big that it is not only capable of souring your day but also your life. Can we fight it? This book gives you the keys to do it.

A vision of two young talents that put at disposition to everyone their experience from the two sides of a weighing scale, the practice and the science, to be able to enjoy every minute of our lives  and we can be happy and stop having this stress sensation every day, of not be able to do everything, of not do the things wright; and in the majority of times, this sensation can transform in anxiety, and if you do not know how to stop it in a serious pathology.

HOW TO BE A GREAT STRATEGIST OF YOUR LIFE

Author: Sandra Bruna Thursday 21 October 2021

I do not play chess, but I have always thought it is a game for intelligent people and it awakes my curiosity. My father tried to teach me how to play it when I was a kid, but I did not get hooked and now I regret it because it is a strategy game and, I see that strategy is basic in life. Therefore, when the young author Adriana Hernández Planillas showed me a book where she applied the chess techniques to life, I thought we had got it right we can be strategist of our life.

The chess board is a lucid representation of the game of life. There are achievements that need little and humble steps like the pawn’s; others need reliable and convinced steps like those of the queen. There are losses and setbacks but there are also changes in the strategy that makes us regain the control of the game, the power of our destiny, exactly like life. 64 squares of the board that offer un a vital lesson.

There is no need to be an expert to understand this book, it is simply a way to awake the strategist that all of us carry inside and it is probably asleep or off. If you put strategy in life, we are sure that the path can be bearable, neither easier nor more difficult, just more bearable, which is a lot given the society we are living. If we drive the rudder of life with strategy, everything flows better. Do you want to learn it?

After the great success of the Netflix series “The Queen’s Gambit” we think that a book like this is a tool for both, the fans of this game and the ones that are not fans, because it will open their mind to encourage them to play or at least, learn the moves that apply to our daily life and will help us understand when it is necessary to turn in this game of life that does not stop challenging every day. Having tools prepared for these challenges is a great weapon to achieve that our life is as we hope and desire it to be. So, without any more words, let’s go! Let the game continue!

BRING COLOR TO A LIFE IN BLACK AND WHITE

Author: Sandra Bruna Thursday 14 October 2021

There are people that are born to vindicate, that do not settle, that have a fighter spirit for what they consider fair. However, the words equality and justice are two terms that, although we know their meaning, everyone can interpret in a free and different way and from different perspectives.

When I read the new Ana Alonso’s novel, her first novel for adults, I fell in love right away with Adela, a strong woman that was born in the working Barcelona and that fought for equality and for a more just world. She’s a teacher, a compulsive lector, seamstress to make a living and a single and imperfect mother.

The author places us at the end of the 1940’ decade. Without giving up the political and social criticism, she brings color to some years that we imagine in black and white, like the images from NODO.

The story begins in 1948, during the first years of the port-war. For Adela fitting in provincial León society, in the closed and suffocating of a village in the mountains or in the grey Madrid of debris, is painful. She doesn’t adapt to a life of suspicion, to be looked at the corner of one’s eyes or to always keep her guard up in front of informers while her people is consumed in the guerrilla or put on the Regime mask and ask for «special tea» in the more frequented coffee shops.

After all, she arrives to León because her life her life in the Pyrenees was truncated a day of the fateful year the war was lost. Adela never got to comprehend what happened that day. Until she starts to find answers in the least expected place: the pages of the romantic novel A stain of carmine. The hidden clues in the story seem to contain an invitation to get back the colors of that dreamed revolution. But which margin will the teacher victim of reprisal have left to fight por a better society?

Through Adela, Carmen, Mercedes, Federica Montseny or Gloria Fuertes, Ana Alonso brings us the corseted world of the women of the post-war era and to the white and black Spain from the 1940’s, full of secrets, masks, shown lies and hidden truths.

A story where the historic mark is part of the novel and feminism is what moves Adela to keep going with the help of reading, which is one of the key points of this to be directed towards being one of the novels that will captivate the female public in general because it mixes three of the ingredients that always work: strong woman, love and books. What are waiting for to read it?

THE GREAT AND SMALL WHYS OF HISTORY

Author: Sandra Bruna Thursday 7 October 2021

A large group of young people thinks history is just a school subject and it is boring, but for a smaller group, it wakes their curiosity up because it analyses the whys of the past. Seeing history repeat itself awakens their interest. Reaffirming that the human being does not learn from their own mistakes and realizing that the past should be a roadmap instead of a bunch of events happening without consequences, makes some part of us reflect on this to be able to avoid making these same mistakes again and strengthen what already works.

José Antonio Lucero, teacher and youtuber, believes that history is fun and with his book “Why the first emojis were written in clay and other whys of history” he tells the anecdotic part of it and tries to answer other whys of history like: Why do we use emojis? Why do we prefer sweets over Swiss chard? Why do we keep our pay in a money box? But he also takes us to a walk-through history from the child and young people of each era’s point of view. I am sure I would have bought this book when I was a student. And you?

In the editorial sector, some years back, was a book series that sold a lot of copies. Its name was “Horrible Stories” and each volume told one era of history in a fun way. It was an international success, and we want to repeat it with this book that, with a renewed and modern way of a teacher and youtuber that reveals the great and small whys of history.
