Collection: Self-Development

**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?

Looking at the headlines--the worsening climate crisis, a global pandemic, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval--it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.

In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist, and Douglas Abrams, the internationally bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy, explore through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope" The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.

Drawing on decades of work that has helped expand our understanding of what it means to be human and what we all need to do to help build a better world, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions, including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? What is the relationship between hope and action? Filled with moving and inspirational stories and photographs from Jane's remarkable career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in the world today.

While discussing the experiences that shaped her discoveries and beliefs, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope, from living through World War II to her years in Gombe to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice. And for the first time, she shares her profound revelations about her next, and perhaps final, adventure.

The second book in the Global Icons Series--which launched with the instant classic The Book of Joy with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu--The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look not only at the nature of hope but also into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world around us and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future.

There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

Todo lo resuelve, siempre está dispuesta y para ella nada es imposible: Doña Huevotes se encarga de tener orden en la casa, acepta las cargas más duras del trabajo y enfrenta los problemas más graves de la familia. Pero también sufre, se enferma y cae, aunque evita expresar su dolor.

Pero... quién es Doña Huevotes? Por qué actúa así? Qué deseos, rencores, anhelos guarda? Es feliz o soporta todo con tal de demostrar que es la mejor?

Anamar Orihuela comparte en este libro no sólo su experiencia personal más íntima y las terapias más efectivas para auxiliar a las mujeres Doña Huevotes; explica por qué se comportan así, qué carencias tienen desde la infancia y cómo se relacionan con sus parejas, sus hijas e hijos, con sus padres, en el amor y la convivencia; detalla por qué brotan de ellas aspectos narcisistas o castradores y qué vínculos mantienen con Hombres Pájaro Herido u amantes posesivos, maltratadores o sometidos.

Doña Huevotes es un libro fuerte y directo, pero también una obra llena de ternura y apoyo terapéutico, una guía esencial para ayudar a quienes esconden sus emociones, sus fracturas del alma. El propósito de la autora es lograr empatía con mujeres que se sienten incomprendidas, abandonadas o lastimadas, mostrarles el poder de su gran sensibilidad y determinación, para que, mediante la comprensión y el apoyo compartan su luz y extraordinaria fortaleza espiritual.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

She solves everything, she is always up to the task, and for her nothing is impossible: Mrs. Courage makes sure the house is in order, accepts the toughest workloads, and faces the most serious problems in the family. But she also suffers, gets sick, and falls, though she avoids expressing her grief.

But... who is Mrs. Courage? Why does she act the way she does? What desires, grudges, and longings does she keep? Is she happy or does she endure everything only to prove that she is the best?

Anamar Orihuela shares in this book not only her most intimate and personal experience but the most effective therapies to help the "Mrs. Courage" type of women. She explains why these women behave like this, what voids they have had since childhood, how they relate to their partners, their daughters, and sons, with their parents, and how they are concerning love and living. She details why narcissistic or castrating aspects emerge from them and what ties they keep with men that have Broken Bird Syndrome or that are possessive, abusive, or submissive lovers.

Mrs. Courage is a strong and direct book, but also a work full of tenderness and therapeutic support, an essential guide to help those who hide their emotions, and their soul's wounds. The purpose of the author is to achieve empathy with women who feel misunderstood, abandoned, or hurt, and to show them the power of their great sensitivity and determination, so that, through understanding and support, they share their light and extraordinary spiritual strength.
