20 Things I've Learned from My Patients/ 20 cosas que he aprendido de mis pacientes. English-Spanish: A Psychiatrist's Pearls of Wisdom to Help You Thrive. Consejos de una psiquiatra. Bilingual

by Olga Núñez Miret

Bilingual edition (English-Spanish). Edición versión bilingüe (inglés-español) Over the years that I have worked as a psychiatrist, writer, and blogger, I’ve collected common-sense advice and thoughts that I have passed on and shared with many (patients, friends, and readers). As people don’t have much time to read and enjoy images and quotes, I decided to publish twenty of the things I have learned over the years, illustrating each one of them with a picture and a quote. And as I know many people who want to improve their Spanish but don’t dare to take on a long book, I decided to publish it as a bilingual edition, English-Spanish. I don’t claim to have found the meaning of life, but I hope you enjoy this little book. Durante mis años como psiquiatra, escritora y bloguera, he acumulado consejos y reflexiones de sentido común que he compartido con mucha gente, incluyendo pacientes, amigos y lectores. Como sé que la gente no tiene mucho tiempo para leer hoy en día, y les gusta compartir imágenes y citas, decidí publicar veinte de las cosas que he aprendido durante mi carrera, ilustrando cada una de ellas con una imagen y una cita. Conozco a muchas personas que quieren mejorar su inglés pero no se atreven a enfrentarse a un libro largo, así que decidí publicarlo en versión bilingüe, en inglés y español. No pretendo haber descubierto el sentido de la vida, pero espero que disfrutéis de este librito.

About the author

My name is Olga Núñez Miret and I’m a writer. I also do translations of other author’s work. What else? I was born in Barcelona, Spain,lived in the UK for many years and went back home again in the Spring 2018. Over the years I’ve done many things and had other lives but however far I wander I keep coming back to books and stories, my two earliest loves. When reading was no longer enough, I started writing. My first book was published in 2012 and my publications span different genres, from literary fiction to romance, Young Adult and psychological thrillers. I plan on writing more novels in the same genres and if my imagination so dictates, I will explore others. I love to connect with readers, so don’t hesitate to get in touch..

Reviews

[D.G. Kaye · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful little book filled with inspiration with quotes to live by on laughter, self-love and so much more.
Olga Nunez Miret has compiled a beautiful summation on some of life's situations taken from the wisdom she accrued from her patients as a practicing psychiatrist. The author shares nuggets of wisdom in short poignant messages with lovely illustrations, sharing reflections on life. A handy little guide for life we can pick up and read again whenever we could use a dose of inspiration.This book is bilingual - written in both English and Spanish - a clever idea, giving us a nice little Spanish lesson if we'd like to learn a few words in a different language. #Recommended!

[Teagan Geneviene · Rating 5 out of 5]

I wasn't active on Goodreads when I first read this delightful book. This is a warm, mindful collection of wisdom, presented by a psychiatrist. However, there is nothing cold and clinical about it. Lovely, peaceful illustrations accompany each of the “20 Things.” I love that the Spanish and English translations are included in a single volume, because I’m always trying to learn Spanish… and always woefully neglecting my studies. It makes for a good study tool, but that’s an aside, an added benefit. In the current, unexpected, and difficult world in which we find ourselves the thoughts Dr. Núñez Miret expresses in these pages are ever more relevant. For example, “I’m not trying to quote Tennessee Williams, but at times it’s the kindness of strangers, the small kindnesses complete strangers show us for no reason that can brighten our day…” This volume makes for a good thought to begin, or end, each day. This is a book to be read and re-read, repeatedly enjoyed.
