Czy humanist(k)a może odnieść sukces i wieść szczęśliwe życie – a na dodatek głośno o tym mówić? Czy można być szczęśliwym i spełnionym bez codziennego wdzięczenia się w social mediach? Czy więcej warty jest glamour czy dobrostan?
„The Human(istic) Way. Living by design, not by default: Nonsense-free and fulfilling life in a beautiful world full of crap” to nietypowy poradnik samorozwojowy. Maya Arenas Guerra, polska filolożka-psycholożka, mająca „normalną” pracę i żyjąca zgodnie ze swoimi war-tościami, zaprasza do eksplorowania różnych aspektów ludzkiej egzy-stencji. W 11 dynamicznych rozdziałach zachęca do refleksji nad takimi zagadnieniami, jak zarządzanie czasem i energią, wyznaczanie celów życiowych, relacje, a także kreowanie własnej filozofii życia. Pozycja została zainspirowana dziesiątkami książek filozoficznych i psycholo-gicznych, a także wielowymiarowym życiem autorki.
„The Human(istic) Way” to poradnik nie napisany przez coacha „uczą-cego jak żyć”, nie napisany w Stanach, nie tylko dla startupowców.
Dużo humoru, dużo konkretów – ale także dużo otwartości i zachęty do radosnego eksplorowania własnej ścieżki życiowej.
The Human(istic) Way w wersji do nauki angielskiego pomoże Ci udo-skonalić swój angielski, a jednocześnie zastanowić się nad poruszany-mi zagadnieniami, takimi jak życiowe wybory, samodoskonalenie, do-brostan, relacje, finanse.
