Nikola Tesla: The Brilliant Inventor Who Dreamed of a Wireless World invites listeners on a powerful journey through the life and mind of one of history’s most electrifying geniuses. More than a catalogue of inventions, this book captures the soul of a man who saw the world not only as it was, but as it could be—lit by unseen energy, connected across great distances, and liberated from the wires that once defined modern life.

"PSYCHIC, MEDIUM, CLAIRVOYANT, CHANNEL-these are all words used to describe Sylvia Browne's unique power. I would prefer to use the word LOVE because that's what Sylvia Browne represents to me-love of the gift God gave her, and love of spirituality in the messages she gives us all. I've...

El objeto de este libro es mostrar quién fue, qué pensó y cual es el sentido, para nosotros, del pensamiento de Abu al-Ualíd Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Ruxd, en adelante Averroes, nombre que deriva de la latinización del apelativo Ibn Ruxd, nacido en Córdoba en 1126 y muerto en Marrakex en 1181.

En cambio, Ramon Bayés, uno de los grandes referentes de la psicología de nuestro país, nacido en 1930, sí estuvo allí. Y Ramón, con lucidez, con brillantez, recuerda.

La vida es, esencialmente, variabilidad y cambio; nuestra biografía –el viaje- se va construyendo sin mapa, brújula ni itinerario previo, momento a momento, a lo largo de una insistente búsqueda de felicidad y plenitud, por selváticos senderos, superpobladas ciudades y, a veces –demasiadas veces-, por desoladas carreteras.
