Pacífico de los Estados Unidos. Con veintidós años creía que lo había perdido todo en la vida. Tras la muerte de su madre y tomar la decisión de separarse, sus hermanos se dispersaron y ella se quedó sin pilares sobre los que construir su vida. Cuatro años después de la muerte de su madre toma la decisión más impulsiva de su vida: recorrer el camino del las Cumbres del Pacífico, una ruta de senderismo que recorre toda la costa oeste de los Estados Unidos, desde el desierto Mojave en California y Oregon al estado de Washington. Y decide hacerlo completamente sola. Sin ninguna experiencia en senderismo, y ni tan solo habiendo pasado jamás una noche al aire libre, para ella se trataba de una idea, vaga y extravagante y prometedora.Pero esa promesa se convirtió en la necesidad de volver a juntar las piezas del rompecabezas en que se ha convertido su vida. Narrada con suspense, estilo, sentido del humor y ternura, Savaje consigue atrapar el miedo y los placeres en la vida de una joven que se encuentra en el proceso de forjar su vida contra toda expectativa, en el viaje que la volvió loca, que la fortaleció y que acabó por sanarla. La crítica ha dicho...«Espectacular...Te atrapa... Una aventura que te quita el aliento y una profunda reflexión sobre la naturaleza del dolor y la supervivencia. Un triunfo a nivel literario y personal.»New York Times Book Review «Un libro ameno y a ratos duro, que hará las delicias de senderistas y amantes de la buena literatura con las peripecias de una joven en procesode reconstrucción, a lo largo del viaje que la volvió loca, que la fortaleció y que terminó por sanarla.»EvadiumEmotional, physical and sexual abuse in childhood can result in a range of problems and lead to long-term difficulties that…

Too many of us have become addicted to the popular, enticing, dangerously misleading drug of multitasking. Devora Zack was once hooked herself. But she beat it and became more efficient, and you can too.Zack marshals convincing neuroscientific evidence to prove that you really can’t do more by trying to tackle several things at once—it’s an illusion. There is a better way to deal with all the information and interruptions that bombard us today. Singletasking explains exactly how to clear and calm your mind, arrange your schedule and environment, and gently yet firmly manage the expectations of people around you so that you can accomplish a succession of tasks, one by one—and be infinitely more productive. Singletasking is the secret to success and sanity.“Devora Zack shows us how doing one thing at a time reduces stress, increases efficiency, and produces higher quality results. If you want to work smarter, not harder, read this book!” —Ken Blanchard, #1 New York Times-bestselling coauthor of The One Minute Manager®“Don’t let Zack’s lighthearted tone fool you—Singletasking is backed by hard science, and this book’s pragmatic advice can really change your work and your life.” —David Bach, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Automatic Millionaire“Zack shows readers how they can manage the expectations of others, unplug from technology (at times), and operate in the moment.” —Library JournalCentered: Autism, Basketball, and One Athlete's Dreams
