Bøger af Jorge Bucay

En ocasiones nos sentimos incapaces de seguir avanzando, cuando una separación, la pérdida de un ser querido, una enfermedad o un revés económico nos hunden en la desesperación. En tales momentos creemos que no podremos superar el dolor, que no seremos capaces de sobreponernos a la aflicción. The loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the permanent abandonment of something we consider valuable--these are expressions of the same reality. These phenomena cause us to sink deeper into sadness and push us toward isolation and despair. In these pages, Jorge Bucay invites us to reflect on one of our most difficult, but at the same time one of the most important, challenges that all humans must face at one time or another: the grieving process. With his characteristic eloquence, Bucay suggests not only that it is possible to survive the most painful experiences, but also that they are necessary to internally mature and grow.

They seek to understand human nature, heal old wounds and discover the meaning of existence.

"Jorge Bucay's insight into human happiness teaches readers that every person is valuable, useful, and irreplaceable, with an infinite capacity to learn and grow.

Empieza hoy el resto de tu vida is a moving lesson which will motivate readers to be in the present, face their fears, and transform their dreams into realities"--Amazon.com.

Con frecuencia se nos olvida que el camino que nos lleva al encuentro con nosotros mismos pasa necesariamente por los demás, sean éstos amigos, familiares o pareja.

While the conquest of self-realization is an individual task, it can't be achieved without relationships and the help of others. The key is to love one another and to surrender to and enrich the company of others. "Without the interactions of others," declares Bucay, "we aren't healthy. Without others' existence, our lives would be empty although our houses may be full with expensive possessions."

De manera consciente o inconsciente, todos los seres humanos buscamos la felicidad. Ésta parece ser un componente indispensable de la vida plena y la realización individual.

Sin embargo, pese a ser tan deseable, resulta sorprendente lo poco que sabemos sobre esta aspiración. All human beings want to achieve happiness.

What does happiness really mean? How is it achieved? True to his style, Jorge Bucay doesn't pretend to provide foolproof recipes or tell us how to be happy. He accompanies readers and helps them discover, on their own, their individual keys to happiness.

Solemos asociar el término "egoísmo" a una serie de actitudes negativas. Decimos que la gente egoísta sólo piensa en sí misma, que no comparte, que le falta humildad, que es avara y poco solidaria. Frente a esta forma de ver las cosas, el psicoterapeuta Jorge Bucay nos invita considerar al egoísmo de manera distinta: como la capacidad de preferirnos antes que a los demás hasta el punto de que nuestras acciones en su favor no estén guiadas por el sacrificio, la obligación o la abnegación, sino por la alegría que nos produce amar al prójimo.

¿Qué quiere decir autodependencia? Es el reconocimiento pleno de que uno es el protagonista de su propia existencia.
