Un viaje de autodescubrimiento cuya estación final es la más plena y satisfactoria realización de uno mismo. ¿Se deja arrastrar por circunstancias que parecen estar fuera de su control? Esa carencia de autodominio es consecuencia de múltiples factores: hábitos negativos, escaso conocimiento de los propios valores personales, dificultades en las relaciones con los demás... Todo ello causa esa angustiosa sensación de estar manejado por los otros, por «lo» otro. En Controle su destino, Anthony Robbins propone una serie de pautas sencillas de seguir que nos ayudan a descubrir nuestras creencias más profundas, nuestras preguntas fundamentales. Los lectores han dicho... «Impresionante. Leer sí o sí. Top10 de los últimos 100 que he leído. Libro de referencia. Recomendadísimo en todos los sentidos.» «Un maravilloso libro para "controlar tu destino". Aporta información y herramientas útiles para aplicar en tu vida y para aplicar en sesiones de coaching personal» «Si te gusta leer libros de autoayuda este, para mí, es EL LIBRO.»

Hay una carretera oculta que conduce a la riqueza y la libertad financiera, un atajo que puede recorrerse a una velocidad deslumbrante. Jubilarte cuatro décadas antes de lo habitual y llevar una vida que la mayoría no puede permitirse, es posible. Sin embargo, nos han inculcado el dogma de «hazte rico poco a poco», un plan asfixiante con una ligera posibilidad de obtener riquezas en nuestra vejez: «Ve a la universidad, saca buenas notas, gradúate, consigue un buen trabajo, ahorra, invierte, contrata un plan de pensiones… Entonces, algún día, cuando tengas sesenta y cinco años, serás rico». ¡No permitas que tu plan financiero consista en tener esperanzas y rezar! Cambia de carril; ve por la vía rápida y haz realidad tus sueños. M. J. de Marco amasó su primer millón a los treinta y un años y, en este libro traducido a más de quince idiomas y con más de 500.000 copias vendidas, te enseña todo lo que sabe. * ¿Por qué la «vía lenta» no te hará rico nunca. ¡Obtén unos ingresos millonarios siguiendo los 5 mandamientos de la riqueza! * Aborda la pobreza como si se tratara de una enfermedad, ¡combate la causa, no los síntomas, y todo cambiará para ti! * Por qué los mensajes de los gurús del tipo «haz lo que amas» o «sigue tu pasión» no suelen ser buenas recomendaciones para enriquecerse.  * ¡Y unas 250 indicaciones para salir de la pobreza y acelerar hacia la riqueza!

CAMBIA TU MENTE. CAMBIA TU VIDA. ¿Y si lo único que se interpone entre tú y tu potencial… fuera aquello en lo que crees? Tus límites no son fijos: se aprenden. Y con las creencias adecuadas, puedes romper barreras y lograr resultados extraordinarios. Tus creencias dan forma a lo que ves, lo que sientes y lo que haces, tienen la capacidad de impulsar o sabotear tus objetivos, pero está en tus manos cambiarlas, y este libro te muestra cómo. A partir de estudios innovadores y de casos reales impactantes, Nir Eyal explica cómo sustituir aquellas creencias que te limitan por otras que potencien tu motivación, liberen tu capacidad y amplíen tu idea de lo que crees posible. En estas páginas aprenderás a: * Detectar oportunidades que otros pasan por alto. Las creencias filtran tu percepción; cámbialas y aparecerán opciones que a tus ojos antes eran invisibles * Mantener la calma bajo presión. Transforma tu respuesta ante la incertidumbre para que la estabilidad sea tu estado natural, no algo forzado. * Romper patrones perjudiciales. Mejora tu salud, tus relaciones y tu carrera eliminando interferencias, no añadiendo más esfuerzo. * Superar barreras que creías inamovibles. Tus límites no son fijos, se aprenden. Y lo que se aprende se puede reaprender. Cree lo increíble, logra lo imposible te proporciona la ciencia y el método para llegar más lejos de lo que jamás imaginaste posible.

After Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin dropped out of college and launched Bitcoin Magazine, he wrote the Ethereum white paper, which proposed an open source protocol that would take what Bitcoin did for money and do it for everything else: contracts, social networks, and sharing economies. Now, less than a decade later, his idea is valued at about half a trillion dollars, and it is the foundation for the weird new world of NFT artworks, virtual real estate, and decentralized autonomous organizations. This book is a collection of essays including "On Free Speech," which creates a whole new standard for free speech and how to protect it; "Prediction Markets: Tales from the Election," in which Buterin bets on the Trump-Biden election before and after it was decided, and how the prediction markets help explain the political situation today where so many believe Trump won; and the last essay in the book, "Crypto Cities," where Buterin observes the beginnings already in motion of a future where cities governed through blockchain better serve the public good than governing political institutions do today. Understanding and engaging with Buterin's ideas will be of growing importance as the consequences of his invention continue to unfold and inspire debate worldwide.

Humanity is at a crossroads. Never have we had so much potential to do good in the world or literally transform our civilization into transnational gulags. Almost 175 Years have passed since the Communist Manifesto was written and circulated by Marx and Engels. Some statistics point to it being one of the most widely read and distributed works of political science and economics. However, the core ideology has led to hundreds of millions of murders worldwide at the hands of those who fervently 'believed' and 'reformed' society by its decrees. It's about time something was written to help challenge and potentially unwind some of the moral, intellectual, social, and economic damage done since. * Why is it that an idea with a consistent failure rate draws more young people to it than ever before? * What is it about the original book that's so infectious that it continues to influence people around the world almost two centuries later? * What elements of the original text are accurate observations, and what conclusions are drawn ignorant of human psychology and praxeology that lead to devastating consequences? We wrote The UnCommunist Manifesto to answer these questions and much more. We emulated the format and length of the Communist Manifesto, so it is a sharp, concise and lucid read, but the message contained is a reminder for people to reach upward and become better versions of themselves instead of renouncing individual responsibility by classifying themselves into static groups and intellectually validating their desire to bring others down to their level. One goal was to change the axis of the “struggle.” Marx and Engels outlined it as “a struggle between two classes’, whom an individual is arbitrarily assigned to based on their material wealth. We reject this and assert that the real struggle is between individual autonomy, sovereignty, and responsibility versus the collectivist tendency toward group identity politics, rights, entitlements, and co-dependencies. Between cooperation and coercion. It always has been. We hope to see it used as an inspirational text in the years ahead as Individuals seek to maintain autonomy and claim sovereignty, while the collective seeks to coerce. Our longer-term hope is that this text can be a beacon of hope, sanity, and sense in a world being swallowed up by the envy inherently justified by Marxist doctrine. Humanity is at a crossroads. Never have we had so much potential to do good in the world, or literally transform our civilisation into transnational gulags. The siren call of Marxist entropy is stronger than ever. The greatness and sanctity of the individual and the soul must counter it. May this book be not just an answer to the misguided, nihilistic, and often dangerous ideology that is Marxism, but a message of hope, responsibility, and liberty for all. This is the first edition, and we hope that you find deep meaning within it. Aleks Svetski & Mark Moss

Se prometió que Bitcoin, BTC, sería una tecnología liberadora, una alternativa de libre mercado al dinero controlado por el estado. Pero esa promesa se rompió cuando un pequeño grupo de individuos con información privilegiada se hiciera cargo del proyecto y cambiara fundamentalmente su diseño. La verdadera historia de BTC y su diseño original la conocen muy pocas personas debido a años de fuerte censura, ingeniería de redes sociales y estrictos controles de información. La realidad es que BTC ha sido secuestrado y cambiado para peor. Esa es la conclusión innegable de El secuestro de Bitcoin, un libro repleto de historia y verdades incómodas, que descarga una andanada desmitificadora contra las narrativas más populares que rodean a BTC. Roger Ver es el primer inversor del mundo en empresas emergentes de BTC y ha sido un nombre destacado en la industria de las criptomonedas desde su inicio. Sin embargo, como confiesa en la introducción, este libro no es una historia de amor. Es la exposición devastadora de la corrupción, la propaganda y la centralización del poder en BTC.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Reminders of Him and It Starts with Us, a “brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author) about a young woman in a new relationship who can’t stop thinking about her first love. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened. An honest, evocative, and tender novel, It Ends with Us is “a glorious and touching read, a forever keeper. The kind of book that gets handed down” (USA TODAY).

From a former senior advisor to Senator John McCain comes an urgent wake-up call about how new technologies are threatening America's military might. For generations of Americans, our country has been the world's dominant military power. How the US military fights, and the systems and weapons that it fights with, have been uncontested. That old reality, however, is rapidly deteriorating. America's traditional sources of power are eroding amid the emergence of new technologies and the growing military threat posed by rivals such as China. America is at grave risk of losing a future war. As Christian Brose reveals in this urgent wake-up call, the future will be defined by artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and other emerging technologies that are revolutionizing global industries and are now poised to overturn the model of American defense. This fascinating, if disturbing, book confronts the existential risks on the horizon, charting a way for America's military to adapt and succeed with new thinking as well as new technology. America must build a battle network of systems that enables people to rapidly understand threats, make decisions, and take military actions, the process known as "the kill chain." Examining threats from China, Russia, and elsewhere, The Kill Chain offers hope and, ultimately, insights on how America can apply advanced technologies to prevent war, deter aggression, and maintain peace  

Beginning with the dim prehistory of the mythical gods and their descendants, Heimskringla recounts the history of the kings of Norway through the reign of Olaf Haraldsson, who became Norway's patron saint. Once found in most homes and schools and still regarded as a national treasure, Heimskringla influenced the thinking and literary style of Scandinavia over several centuries.
