Life for indentured servants in pioneer Virginia is hard. It is doubly hard for Richard Ayre, a London orphan who had been scooped off the streets as a child and sent to the Jamestown Colony. But a chance encounter with an Indian boy his own age gives him a friend, the first real friend he has had in years-until his master's plan to raid an Indian village for corn turns Richard's world upside down.
In this rousing coming-of-age story set on the American frontier, one ornery twelve-year-old has a lot to learn if he's to survive his new life as a mountain man. Having run away after hitting Pa in a bout of rage, Jesse decides to fend for himself. Too much uncontrollable anger and inexplicable emotion since Ma went away have taken their toll. All he wants now is to be left alone. At first, every day on the mountain is a struggle. Beset by hunger and cold, fear and loneliness, Jesse stubbornly and defiantly refuses to concede defeat. Gradually, he learns to hunt, to skin and cure animal pelts, to build a cabin ... all skills necessary to life in the wilderness. He takes on a mad mountaineer and even helps kill a bear. In so doing, Jesse slowly gains confidence and insight beyond his years. "I was watching me turn myself into a mountain man." An action-packed adventure proves a provocative voyage of self-discovery as one young boy observes the best and worst in nature, people, and himself.
It’s been almost a year since Jenna Samuels’ stoner brother, Casey, bit the dust and returned as her guardian angel; a year since Casey and his “angel boss,” Amber Velasco, saved Jenna’s life and helped her foil the bad guys, more or less; a year in which Jenna has solved the true mystery of the universe: how to get one Ryan Sloboda to ask her out.
Jenna’s feeling mighty cheery about life and love. But Casey, whose doomed relationship with Lanie Phelps isn’t doing much to distract him, has his own big question: Why is he still hanging around?
Bo Shivers, a heavenly head honcho Jenna and Casey didn’t even know existed, might have the answer. Bo knows something big is coming, something that might just change everything for Jenna Samuels, who once again finds herself up to her non-winged shoulders in heavenly secrets of global proportions—just as she’s finally found the perfect homecoming dance dress.
Good Wives continues the story of the March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, as they approach womanhood. Meg longs to begin her new life with John Brook, though they can never be rich; Jo returns to devote herself to literature, and to Beth, whose illness has left her weak but whose serenity shines through the household; and Amy has gone to Aunt March, bribed with the offer of drawing lessons. Laurie remains irrepressible, with his high spirits and sense of fun, though his pursuit of Jo’s affections seems unlikely to succeed.
“Six generations of readers have found in the story of the March family universal truths about girls, families, and growing up.”--Guardian (London)
Las emociones desempeñan un papel adaptativo. Cuando la culpa actúa de esta forma –es decir cuando la culpa es adaptativa–, su función es reconocer los errores y poner en marcha conductas de ajuste y reparación. En este caso, la culpa nos ayuda a no transgredir ciertas normas y códigos éticos, digamos que enciende un «aviso» que nos previene de cometer errores que podrían tener graves consecuencias.
En este artículo voy a centrarme en la culpa desadaptativa, la que por su intensidad y frecuencia es fuente de dificultades y desórdenes emocionales. En el resto del contenido, salvo ocasiones que considere necesarias no insistiré en ponerle el calificativo.
Cuando hablamos del sentimiento de culpa desde la Psicología, tenemos que hablar de otros términos y conceptos muy próximos: autoestima, perfeccionismo, rumiación, falta de autoconfianza, autocensura, miedo, asertividad, regulación emocional…; en efecto, la culpa está incorporada a muchas de nuestras dificultades emocionales, y en muchas ocasiones, no es fácil identificar si es el origen o la consecuencia (en muchas ocasiones ambas). Vamos a tratar de desentrañar qué es el sentimiento de culpa y ayudar a comprender qué podemos hacer para liberarnos de sus efectos más perjudiciales.
El chantaje emocional es una forma inadecuada, irrespetuosa y agresiva de comunicación, donde se suele expresar una petición de cambio, solicitar ayuda o simplemente expresar disconformidad y queja, con un objetivo claro de conseguir lo que uno o una quiere, sin tener en cuenta los deseos de la otra persona.

Me gusta your smile, tu sonrisa,
and your hugs, tus abrazos.
Me gusta when we explore this spectacular world, el mundo,
and gaze at all the stars, las estrellas.
But most of all, me gusta that no matter where we are, I feel at home, en casa, when I’m with you.

For Griffin Furlong, the odds were against him.
Death, homelessness, and fear of his future loomed early in his childhood. According to the National School Board Association, students experiencing homelessness are 87 percent more likely to drop out of school than their stably housed peers, and without a high school diploma, youth are 4.5 times more likely to experience homelessness later in life. But through the power of growing his perspective and mindset, Griffin transformed his perception of his situation and turned it into something worthwhile.
In Boundless, he shares his astonishing childhood story and major themes he learned along the way to defy the odds set against him. His story is a testament that no matter the obstacles, no matter the difficulties that lie ahead, and no matter the lack of resources, anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Griffin believes anyone can apply the principles in this book to create the future they dream of.
