Story
Cómo rescatar la atención perdida en un mundo distraído e hiperconectado. Cada vez somos más impacientes y estamos más irritables. ¿Notas que te cuesta más prestar atención? ¿Has sentido ansiedad últimamente? ¿Toleras peor el aburrimiento y el dolor? Vivimos en la era de la gratificación instantánea, en la cultura de la inmediatez y las recompensas y buscamos la felicidad a golpe de clic. Llevamos una vida agitada e intensa, y con el modo fast activado. Sin darnos cuenta nos hemos convertido en drogodependientes emocionales inundados de múltiples distracciones.

Story
In Dr. Mark McConville's decades of experience as a family clinical psychologist, perhaps no problem has been more fraught than that of young adults who fail to successfully transition from adolescence into adulthood. These kids - technically adults - just can't get it together: They can't hold a job, they struggle to develop meaningful relationships, and they often end up back in their parents' spare bedroom or on the couch. In fact, studies show that one in four Americans aged 25 to 34 neither work nor attend school - a problem that spans all socioeconomic and geographic boundaries.

Great book that made me realize I wasn’t alone. Many of the stories resonated with me in many ways. Every parent of a teenager should read it.

Story
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.
