Estación Once
Emily St. John Mandel - 2014-09-09
Calificación de Goodreads
Un inesperado virus mortal acaba con la humanidad tal y como la conocemos: ya no quedan trenes que unan los lugares, ni internet que nos permita conocer el mundo, ni siquiera ciudades en las que vivir, solo quedan asentamientos hostiles al visitante ocasional. En este desolador panorama un pequeño grupo de actores y músicos tienen una iniciativa sorprendente: crear la Sinfonía Viajera, con el fin de mantener vivo un resquicio de humanidad. Pero en este libro nada es fácil y pronto este rescoldo de civilización también se verá amenazado por un violento profeta. Esta novela va más allá de su argumento y escritura, originales y ambiciosos: nos sumerge en un mundo distinto y nos obliga a reflexionar sobre el presente, sobre lo que tenemos y qué valor le damos. En definitiva, un homenaje inteligente y sobrio a los pequeños placeres de la vida. Un libro difícil de dejar y, más aún, de olvidar.

La historia oculta del dopaje en el ciclismo
Tyler Hamilton - 2012-09-05
Calificación de Goodreads
The Secret Race is a definitive look at the world of professional cycling—and the doping issue surrounding this sport and its most iconic rider, Lance Armstrong—by former Olympic gold medalist Tyler Hamilton and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle.   Over the course of two years, Coyle conducted more than two hundred hours of interviews with Hamilton and spoke candidly with numerous teammates, rivals, and friends. The result is an explosive book that takes us, for the first time, deep inside a shadowy, fascinating, and surreal world of unscrupulous doctors, anything-goes team directors, and athletes so relentlessly driven to succeed that they would do anything—and take any risk, physical, mental, or moral—to gain the edge they need to win.   Tyler Hamilton was once one of the world’s best-liked and top-ranked cyclists—a fierce competitor renowned among his peers for his uncanny endurance and epic tolerance for pain. In the 2003 Tour de France, he finished fourth despite breaking his collarbone in the early stages—and grinding eleven of his teeth down to the nerves along the way. He started his career with the U.S. Postal Service team in the 1990s and quickly rose to become Lance Armstrong’s most trusted lieutenant, and a member of his inner circle. For the first three of Armstrong’s record seven Tour de France victories, Hamilton was by Armstrong’s side, clearing his way. But just weeks after Hamilton reached his own personal pinnacle—winning the gold medal at the 2004 Olympics—his career came to a sudden, ignominious end: He was found guilty of doping and exiled from the sport.   From the exhilaration of his early, naïve days in the peloton, Hamilton chronicles his ascent to the uppermost reaches of this unforgiving sport. In the mid-1990s, the advent of a powerful new blood-boosting drug called EPO reshaped the world of cycling, and a relentless, win-at-any-cost ethos took root. Its psychological toll would drive many of the sport’s top performers to substance abuse, depression, even suicide. For the first time ever, Hamilton recounts his own battle with clinical depression, speaks frankly about the agonizing choices that go along with the decision to compete at a world-class level, and tells the story of his complicated relationship with Lance Armstrong.   A journey into the heart of a never-before-seen world, The Secret Race is a riveting, courageous act of witness from a man who is as determined to reveal the hard truth about his sport as he once was to win the Tour de France.

@ValidLogic That’s one of the best for sure. “The Art of Learning” by Josh Waitzkin is required reading. All of @tferriss ‘s books are quite good. “4-Hour Chef” most hits this area. For mindset “The Inner Game of Tennis” by Timothy Gallwey and “Mind Gym”by Gary Mack are both excellent.      fuente

An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance
Josh Waitzkin - 2007-05-08
Calificación de Goodreads
¿En qué consiste la excelencia? ¿Puede cualquiera llegar a ser el mejor en aquello que emprenda o acaso la genialidad está reservada a unos pocos superdotados? Figura pública desde que a los nueve años ganara su primer campeonato de ajedrez y catapultado a la fama cuando el libro de su padre, Buscando a Bobby Fisher, fue convertido en un filme de éxito, Josh Waitzkin sabe lo que significa llegar a lo más alto. El apasionante testimonio de sus años como campeón de ajedrez primero y de Tai-Chi después, no deja lugar a la excelencia es un proceso al alcance de todos? si descubrimos la esencia del verdadero aprendizaje. Con ejemplos procedentes de todo tipo de disciplinas, Waitzkin comparte con sus lectores los hallazgos que ha ido atesorando a lo largo de años de concentración y un camino de autoconocimiento que guiará a cualquiera dispuesto a dar lo mejor de sí mismo, ya sea en el trabajo o en cualquier otra disciplina.

January 1977. While the chief of the CIA's Moscow station fills his gas tank, a stranger drops a note into the car. In the years that follow, that stranger, Adolf Tolkachev. becomes one of the West's most valuable spies.

Drawing on previously classified CIA documents and interviews with first-hand participants, 'The Billion Dollar Spy is a brilliant feat of reporting and a riveting true story from the final years of the Cold War. "Non-fiction as rich and resonant as a spy novel by John Le Carre or Graham Greene." - Mail on Sunday "An astonishingly detailed picture of espionage in the 1980s, written with pacey journalistic verve and an early contemporary feel." - Brian Macintyre, The Times
