De la Autoestima Al Egoísmo - 4th Edition by Jorge Bucay (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

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.

Consisting of imaginary chats with numerous readers, Jorge Bucay has written yet another heartwarming and uplifting book meant to help its readers. The friendly conversation includes common topics that have concerned women and men throughout the ages, and presents them in such a way as to improve upon every day. This dialog, filled with tasteful humor, stories, and parables, invites us to question our most deep-rooted beliefs and to meditate on questions that truly touch human condition.
