Our relationships are unsatisfactory.They are conditioned by cultural, social and historical factors, which lead us to an inner emptiness. Through centuries of patriarchal leadership and feminine dependence we have arrived at the present situation...one of deep unsatisfaction. The neediness of so many women and the present day situation of lack of true encounter between men and women, has led the author to question, to observe and to suggest new solutions to our present challenges. We need to learn to relate to each other without hurting ourselves, to love each other without attaching one to another, to be accomplices respectful of our identities and freedom, to experience unity in diversity.

Thoughts and patterns of thoughts have a big influence in our lives. Many people do not realise about this repercussion. To think is something we usually do. When you create thoughts you generate feelings, attitudes, words, and actions, and so you create the picture of your life. It depends on you to come away from the routine in order not to be influenced by the turmoil of your thoughts. One of the objectives of this book is to help you to be aware of the quality of your thoughts. You can live every moment of your life knowing how to choose consciously good and beneficial thoughts, and learn to protect yourself from negative influences. In order to improve the quality of your thoughts, you have to be aware of the way you think and recognise that each one of us creates our thoughts, whether positive, wasteful or negative. To recognise this will allow you to lay the foundation of a true positive change in your life.

He aquí una inteligente invitación a explorar desde dónde practicamos la meditación. Muchas prácticas de mindfulness en Occidente se plantean desde –y acaban por reforzar– un «yo separado». Por contra, en este libro encontrarás prácticas asequibles que te llevarán del mindfulness secularizado al mindfulness relacional, y de este a lo que podríamos llamar un «post-mindfulness»: la práctica contemplativa en la cual caminamos hacia el núcleo sano, la esencia positiva y vital del ser.Miriam Subirana proporciona ideas y prácticas relacionales para mejorar el bienestar, la autoestima, la presencia transformadora y el compromiso; para atravesar y disolver el sufrimiento; para el autoconocimiento; para generar actitudes abiertas y cooperativas y avanzar juntos en construir un mundo más amable, pacífico y en armonía.

Este libro es una síntesis perfecta de una metodología que está revolucionando el mundo de las organizaciones y las relaciones humanas: la Indagación Apreciativa (IA); un método basado en la nueva psicología positiva, la biomímesis, el pensamiento de diseño y la construcción social de la realidad.Escrito conjuntamente por el creador del método, David Cooperrider, y por su principal abanderada en el mundo de habla hispana, Miriam Subirana, Indagación Apreciativa trata de la forma en cómo promover el cambio a nivel personal, familiar, social, institucional o empresarial.La IA nos facilita conectar con nuestro núcleo vital, nuestras aspiraciones, puntos fuertes y experiencias cumbre. Una de las tesis centrales del libro es que la inspiración constituye la "fuente de alimentación" y la principal dinámica de la IA. Podemos transformar momentos convulsos o dificultades de comunicación en oportunidades únicas en las que salir reforzados. Este libro trata justamente de cómo lograrlo, en formatos de coaching individualizados, así como en cumbres de IA con grandes grupos de España, Argentina, México, Chile, Uruguay, Brasil o EE.UU.
