• It will NOT guTHIS BOOK IS MOST LIKELY NOT FOR YOU! It will NOT guarantee success – Life holds no promises! It will NOT guarantee happiness – Ignorance is bliss! There is a secret. It is not the one you have seen so well advertised in the media. It has little to do with positive thinking and really getting in touch with your true purpose in life. Those people you read about in People magazine and see on television know it. Those people who enjoy the lives we would love to have – will never reveal this basic truth. It would be like a magician giving away their secret, and secret it is – the real secret! You won’t read or hear about this one... when you find out what it is, you will know why! Life is too often a sucker’s game. Those who play by the rules, believe in fair play, and believe that what goes around comes around in life, are very often the greatest losers in life. In every one of life’s arenas there is a “Hidden Game.” While the rank and file are all busy with trying to win the brass ring, there is a small group of insiders, the “Players,” who are coolly, cynically, pulling the strings. These “Players” take the lion’s share of life’s rewards – the beautiful homes, the cars, the svelte spouses – leaving the rest of humanity to fight over the crumbs they leave behind. Imagine, what it would be like to be able to recognize this pattern – know how it works, and predict what will happen next? It would be like having a crystal ball – always one step ahead of the game, knowing what is going to happen next! You will have the confidence which comes from knowing that life is a Game – and you have THE EDGE!arantee success – Life holds no promises!

A podcast about stories in history that shook up the United States.

Anemocoria es la dispersión de frutos o semillas a través del viento. Y esta radio anemócora quiere hacer precisamente eso: dispersar frutos y semillas del pensamiento. Radio Anemocoria es un podcast de entrevistas con escritorxs, académicxs o activistas que han escrito un libro de ensayo con una mirada crítica sobre el pasado, el presente o el futuro de la Península Ibérica y sus conexiones globales y poscoloniales con otras tierras. En algunos episodios aprenderemos sobre comunidades, culturas, subculturas y contraculturas que se han desarrollado, contra viento y marea en muchos casos, en lo que actualmente constituye España y Portugal (ya sean campesinos castellanos, poetas andalusíes, novelistas trasmontanos, artistas canarias, punkies gallegos, feministas romaníes, pescadores azorianos o vascos, anarquistas catalanes o madrileñas afrodescendientes). En otras ocasiones, conversaremos con nuestrxs invitadxs sobre nuevas y esperanzadoras maneras de pensar, hacer y sentir que están surgiendo en la Península Ibérica como respuesta a las amenazas del borrascoso siglo XXI y a la herencia algo sombría que nos dejó el XX. En otros episodios de nuestro podcast, en fin, hablaremos de las conexiones globales y (pos)coloniales de España y Portugal con África, con las Américas, y con otras partes del planeta. Queremos agradecer a David Vila y la poderosa banda de fusión latina The Rumba Madre la música con que cada día comenzamos nuestro podcast, y también al genial creador de cómics Miguel Brieva la imagen de nuestra portada.
