El libro más personal, emotivo e íntimo de Fernando Savater. Esto no es una autobiografía, aunque contiene «la mejor y la peor parte» de la vida del autor. Es un libro escrito para guardar la memoria de la persona amada, Sara Torres Marrero, conocida como Pelo Cohete, con la que Fernando Savater compartió 35 años, toda una vida, de felicidad. Pero no estamos ante un elogio fúnebre porque el deseo de alargar la memoria, de engañar al olvido, acaba por devenir en un acto de agradecimiento, de amor. Es posible que se trate del relato de una batalla que todos sabemos perdida de antemano, pero también, quizá antes que nada, es un canto emocionado a la vida, una llamada a amar y disfrutar en todo momento con la persona que amas. Porque en el texto está la pérdida, la ausencia, el derecho o no al olvido, la muerte, el dolor, la enfermedad, pero también la lucha, el compromiso, el sexo, las risas, las bromas, las complicidades. Todo eso es la vida, y Fernando Savater consigue hacernos reflexionar sobre ello, a través de él, a través de Sara, a través de los dos, como uno solo. Esto no es una autobiografía, aunque contiene «la mejor y la peor parte» de la vida del autor.

The power and versatility of the human brain far surpasses that of any computer, indeed, it is the most complex and involved system on this planet. Yet no human being has ever come close to using its full potential. In Part One of this handbook for brain users, Peter Russell sets out the brain's development and structure; in Part Two he examines its function and potential, discussing memory, imagery, mnemonics, the holographic theory of mind, reading and note-taking. He also introduces readers to mind maps using color, key words and organic structure. Among the many intriguing features of the book is the rejection of the notion that our brain deteriorates after middle age.

An endlessly fascinating, beautifully designed survey of time?how long things take, how long things last, and how we spend our daysOur relationship to time is complex and paradoxical: Time stands still. Time also flies. Tomorrow is another day. Yet there's no time like the present. We want to do more in less time, but wish we could slow the clock. And despite all our time-saving devices?iPhones, DVRs, high-speed trains?Americans feel that they have less leisure time than ever.In an era when our time feels fractured and imperiled, The Book of Times encourages readers to ponder time used and time spent. How long does it take to find a new mate, digest a hamburger, or compose a symphony? How much time do we spend daydreaming, texting, and getting ready for work? The book challenges our beliefs and urges us to consider how, and why, some things get faster, some things slow down, and some things never change (the need for seven to eight hours of sleep).Packed with compelling charts, lists, and quizzes, as well as new and intriguing research, The Book of Times is an addictive, browsable, and provocative look at the idea of time from every direction.

Very good, very insightful. The message is very clear: if you want to have a good memory, use it, train it, develop it, give it a job to do. Treat it like a muscle. If you want to get better at memorizing stuff, actually work at memorizing things; don't adopt the newest fads at memorizing. The brain works by association: if you are trying to memorize something you have heard, make a visual association as well, because the more associations you make with something, the higher your chance at remembering it will be. For example: if you want to memorize a poem, read the poem, listen to the poem, and write down the poem. These three associations will help you to remember it easier. Also, work on memorizing things daily, and work on recalling what you have memorized on previous days to ensure that you still remember it (in the example of the poem, memorize one line every day, but exercise the memory of the previous days' lines until you have the whole thing).There is no shortcut; there is only work. The work pays off, though! Don't give up because the work is hard. Try harder, commit more to memory, and don't get frustrated if you struggle with it. In our day and age, when our technology remembers everything for us, this will be a very difficult journey, but the rewards will be worth it. (Anthony Smitha)

A warm, informed, and lighthearted look at creative living as taught by our egg-laying friends, Chicken Scratch will advise and inspire anyone who cares about a life well lived. Chapters include journaling prompts, creativity exercises, and inspiration from "The Left-Brain Chicken."

"Author and journalist Hilde [stby was cycling to work one day when she crashed head-first into a stone bridge. At the hospital, she was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and prescribed rest and relaxation. But her brain was anything but restful: ideas for new writing projects popped into her head at a frenzied pace. Never before had she had so many 'aha' moments. But at the same time, simple tasks like walking through an airport felt impossible. Had the concussion made her--like the stereotype of the tortured artist--more creative but less able to function in society? Or was there something else at play? What makes a person creative, anyway? In The Key to Creativity, [stby takes readers on a deep-dive into why we are creative and what conditions must be present in order for us to make our best work: whether that be a painting, a piece of writing, or simply a good email. Using characters from Alice in Wonderland for inspiration, [stby investigates why we have ideas that seemingly come out of nowhere, like the Cheshire Cat, and how we can quiet our inner critic, like the rule-obsessed Queen of Hearts. Along the way, she speaks with artists of all stripes and interviews psychiatrists and neurologists who specialize in understanding what happens in the brain when we are at our most creative. She discovers that having a tortured and lonely existence isn't necessarily conducive to producing great art--and that being able to complete a task, on time, and according to your and others' expectations, is as important as being able to think outside the box. [stby soon learns that she needs to make changes in her own life to recover from her brain injury and to give structure and life to her ideas. This engaging and groundbreaking book debunks the myth that you need to be a genius in order to be an artist or inventor. All you need is an idea and the tools to make your creative dream come true"--
