Hay un momento crucial en que los jóvenes deben tomar decisiones que definirán para siempre el rumbo de sus vidas. Este nuevo libro de Sean Covey es la herramienta perfecta para que esas decisiones de tanta trascendencia sean las más acertadas. La mejor herencia que todos tenemos de la adolescencia es haber comprendido la vida como tarea. Es la etapa donde buscamos y tratamos de encontrar la verdad de los ideales que nos van a inspirar para construir un proyecto vital con ilusión y con ganas. Sean Covey magistralmente presenta en esta obra todos los retos, desafíos y decisiones que cada joven debe saber, elegir y tomar durante su juventud, especialmente en aquellos aspectos que aún no ha madurado suficientemente. Los más conocidos: la vida afectiva, la sexualidad, la autoestima, la capacidad de estudio y la responsabilidad en éste como en otros aspectos de la vida diaria; decir NO a las drogas y al alcohol y seguir practicando otras virtudes como la alegría y honestidad. Covey junto a su esposa son padres de seis hijos y tienen una gran pasión: apoyar a los jóvenes. En un tono chispeante y creativo les ayuda a fomentar ideales; promueve el desarrollo personal, los talentos y habilidades y la práctica de una vida sana. Este libro despierta todo el interés tanto de jóvenes como de padres porque es alentador saber que, pase lo que pase, el adolescente siempre tiene futuro. Las coloridas ilustraciones de gran sentido del humor dan carácter a esta excelente obra de Sean Covey, quien aprovechó las experiencias reales de jóvenes que lograron sobreponerse a las adversidades, mantuvieron sus decisiones y cosecharon frutos.

The best way to improve your quality of life is through the decisions you make. This book teaches several fundamental decision-making skills, provides numerous applications and examples, and ultimately nudges you toward smarter decisions. These nudges frame more desirable decisions for you to face by identifying the objectives for your decisions and generating superior alternatives to those initially considered. All of the nudges are based on psychology and behavioral economics research and are accessible to all readers. The new concept of a decision opportunity is introduced, which involves creating a decision that you desire to face. Solving a decision opportunity improves your life, whereas resolving a decision problem only restores the quality of your life to that before the decision problem occurred. We all can improve our decision-making and reap the better quality of life that results. This book shows you how.

A half-mile up, suspended by nylon wings and the promise of good lift, life hanges on a pledge. Richard Bach made that pledge, fifty years before, to return to the frightened child he used to be and teach him everything he had learned from living. His promise went unfulfilled until one day, hovering between earth and sky, Richard encounters Dickie Bach, age nine--irrepressible challenger of every notion Richard embraces.... In this exhilarating adventure, Richard and Dickie probe the timeless questions both need answered if either is to be whole: Why does growing spiritually mean never growing up? Can we peacefully coexist with the consequences of our choices? Why is it that only by running from safety can we make our wildest dreams take flight?

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A “searching and emotionally intimate memoir” (The New York Times) told with a candor never before undertaken by a sitting Justice. This “powerful defense of empathy” (The Washington Post) is destined to become a classic of self-invention and self-discovery. The first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor has become an instant American icon. In this story of human triumph that “hums with hope and exhilaration” (NPR), she recounts her life from a Bronx housing project to the federal bench, a journey that offers an inspiring testament to her own extraordinary determination and the power of believing in oneself. Here is the story of a precarious childhood, with an alcoholic father (who would die when she was nine) and a devoted but overburdened mother, and of the refuge a little girl took from the turmoil at home with her passionately spirited paternal grandmother. But it was when she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes that the precocious Sonia recognized she must ultimately depend on herself. She would learn to give herself the insulin shots she needed to survive and soon imagined a path to a different life. With only television characters for her professional role models, and little understanding of what was involved, she determined to become a lawyer, a dream that would sustain her on an unlikely course, from valedictorian of her high school class to the highest honors at Princeton, Yale Law School, the New York County District Attorney’s office, private practice, and appointment to the Federal District Court before the age of forty. Along the way we see how she was shaped by her invaluable mentors, a failed marriage, and the modern version of extended family she has created from cherished friends and their children. Through her still-astonished eyes, America’s infinite possibilities are envisioned anew in this warm and honest book.
