INSPIRADOR

Este libro me inspiró a saber que aún en medio del caos político y económico de mi país, de mi ciudad , en medio de situaciones que parecen desoladoras y sin salida, siempre hay una manera de transformar nuestra mente y salir de ese enfoque solo en nuestro bienestar y confort para buscar las formas de beneficiar a los demás y de ese modo, como efecto secundario, beneficiar nuestras propias vidas de una manera profunda .
