    This is the first book of a subseries included in Bibliotreatment. Reading is therapeutic, and many of the issues that may be worrying you have been broached by great writers whose insight sometimes makes you wonder whether you/ someone you know have been spied on to provide literary material. Despite a widespread belief to the contrary, reading is not a passive but an extremely demanding interactive process. It "involves mental activity, is embedded in other communication abilities, and converts graphic stimuli into meaning." Moreover, fiction works pose very real challenges. You need to pierce through the level of the enunciated (the actual words used and their arrangement in sentences) to reach the level of enunciation (to put it simply, what lies behind the words; what the author conveys even when she is not aware of actually having meant what seems patent to you.) Between-the-lines reading is a fascinating exercise in detection, association, comparison, identification, debate, and much more. Active reading, the only way to really profit from books, is reflected in notes pencilled on the margins, highlighted phrases or passages, question and exclamation marks, crosses, and the like. Nothing can be more wrong than to think that a book is a "valuable", a "sacred" object that must be preserved intact. Books call for intervention, in the same way as some forms of contemporary visual art appropriate an object and make a new imprint on it, thus turning it into a unique object, for every intervention is exclusive and individual. The key, indeed, is appropriation. Your copy, your interaction with the story, your conclusions. Books have an ending, but are not truly finished until readers reinterpret and actualize them. Enjoy your trip along these pages. Marta Merajver-Kurlat is an Argentine author whose attraction to the ways in which mankind tells its own history encouraged her to undertake studies in myth, language, literature, psychology, and psychoanalysis. Accordingly, her novels Just Toss the Ashes, Los gloriosos sesenta y después, and El tramo final delve into intriguing aspects of human nature. A lecturer in psychoanalytic associations of her country, she first took the challenge of addressing non-specialists in psychological issues in the self-help series entitled Bibliotreatment and released by Jorge Pinto Books Inc. In 2009-2010. Reading for Personal Development complements the series by recommending ten works of fiction of infinite value for the advancement of personal improvement.

    In 1660, a mysterious sect of Dutch mystics arrived to an island in the New World with the objective to create a new society. Their governing principle revolved around the uninterrupted performance of a single dramatic work in seven tableaux vivants. Invoking alchemical imagery and hermetic thought, their goal was to arrive to a higher state of being by collectively embodying the symbolic representation of all of human and divine knowledge. Their experiment, which would last a century, would test the human boundaries of time, physical endurance, and the collective commitment toward an idea. "Like a 'lamb in wolf's clothing, ' Pablo Helguera uses the exoteric mechanisms of historical erudition to lure us to his magical island of the Ourobourians. But right about the time we lose our footing on the land's slippery shores-when we begin to wonder if the artist has gleaned an esoteric tradition for more than just source material for his island's symbols and nomenclature, when we start to navigate his land with the non-verbal hunches of the alchemists' score, and call into question the artifices we employ to gather the world around us-we realize Helguera has really taken us on a journey to another land altogether, the most forbidden of places: the self." -Lise Patt, founder and director of the Institute of Cultural Inquiry, Los Angeles "Pablo Helguera is a splendid liar, a first-class storyteller, a curious mind constantly in search of stories, a creator of parallel universes and impossible characters living in credible situations, which invariably probe our certainties, intuition and knowledge." - Naief Yehya, writer and critic

    After the global economic crisis, many people are feeling that capitalism must mature toward the future. Then, what is "maturity" of capitalism? To know the answer, we should ask this question: What is "maturity" of the human mind? The answer to this question is clear. To become able to see "invisible values." As the human mind matures, it becomes able to see "invisible values." Such as wisdom inexpressible in words, human relationships through sympathy, trust between humans, reputation in the world, cultures of organizations or societies, and so forth. If so, what is "maturity" of capitalism? The answer to this question is also clear. To become the capitalism that emphasizes "invisible capital." Then, how can we realize this? By taking off old glasses and look around. The old glasses of "monetary economy." If we do so, we become able to see that "five paradigm shifts" are occurring in the economic principles that underlie capitalism. In this book, you will find insightful and encouraging vision of the evolution of capitalism in the future.

    Durante las tres últimas décadas, Alan Siegel se ha convertido en una de las figuras más reconocidas dentro del campo del branding y en acérrimo defensor de la comunicación clara. Mientras se dedicaba a construir Siegel & Gale, una empresa líder en marcas, se destacó como uno de los pilares del establishment, lo que no le impidió mostrarse, a la vez, como un iconoclasta provocativo. Su amplio radio de influencia incluye el brindar asesoramiento a organizaciones de la talla de Xerox, American Express, la Asociación Nacional de Baloncesto (NBA), Caterpillar, las Girl Scouts, y The New School entre otras, al tiempo que crea guías sobre la comprensión de los mercados financieros para The Wall Street Journal e integra las juntas directivas de numerosas instituciones comerciales y culturales. Entre las obras de su autoría se cuentan One Man's Eye: Photographs from the Alan Siegel Collection, y Step Right This Way: The Photoghraphs of Edward J. Kelty. "Alan Siegel escribió un libro acerca la simplificación de lo complejo, y el proceso consiguiente contribuyó a la construcción de marcas duraderas en todo el territorio de los Estados Unidos. Verdaderamente, es justo que ahora se haya escrito un libro sobre él". - Craig J. Kelly, Vicepresidente Ejecutivo y Oficial Senior de Marketing (CMO) de SunTrust Banks Inc. "Las biografías son relatos de los éxitos y los fracasos de los seres humanos, de cómo prosperan y sobreviven. Estas narraciones nos educan, puesto que no podemos dejar de identificarnos con el protagonista en algún punto. La biografía de Alan Siegel nos cuenta la historia de un hombre que alcanzó el éxito y el liderazgo en un área que ni él ni sus amigos habían previsto. Es la historia de las conexiones poderosas, aunque invisibles, entre su pasado y su futuro. Relata, en fin, un desarrollo significativo que servirá de inspiración y confianza a sus lectores". - Bob Kerrey, Presidente de The New School. > LOUIS J. SLOVINSKY Louis J. Slovinsky se retiró de Time Warner Inc., donde ejercía el cargo de vicepresidente corporativo, ocupándose de la dirección de estudios sobre identidad para Time Inc. y Time Warner Inc. Trabajó como analista de marcas para Siegel & Gale y Chermayeff & Geismar, y escribió también, como colaborador independiente, para Corporate Branding Partnership.
