Pasamos mucho tiempo pensando acerca de los grandes retos de la vida cuando realmente son los pequeños detalles los que pueden cambiar absolutamente todo. ¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué pasamos tanta energía y tiempo pensando en los grandes desafíos de nuestras vida cuando toda evidencia comprueba que son realmente los pequeños detalles los que pueden cambiar todo? Así es… absolutamente todo. Andy Andrews autor best seller del New York Times es conocido por su forma especial de contar historias sobre principios que empoderan la mente y el espíritu humano. Este libro encarna su propio enfoque a la vida y al trabajo, detallando por primera vez material exclusivo que él utiliza para enseñar y capacitar a algunas de las corporaciones más exitosas, equipos e individuos en todo el mundo. En su estilo único y con buen sentido del humor, Andy muestra cómo las personas pueden triunfar al ir en contra del adagio popular «no te fijes en los detalles». Por contraste Andy prueba que enfocándonos en las cosas más pequeñas es cuando agregamos valor. «En un mundo en el que muchos se sientes impotentes, ¿no sería grandioso sentirse en control? Entonces considera esto. La perspectiva puede ser más importante que las respuestas básicas». «Estoy más apasionado que nunca por notar eso… tan pequeño, que cuando lo entendamos y aseguremos nos permitirá crear una vida con propósito extraordinario y resultados poderosos. No se trata tanto de determinación y de fuerza de voluntad como de comprender ciertos principios y por qué funcionan… cada vez». Andrews provee una perspectiva de sentido común y un plan de juego para alcanzar diversos desafíos, como: • Manejar la vida en una sociedad que parece estar contantemente ofendida por algo o alguien • Crear cambios que son permanentes y a largo plazo • Incrementar drásticamente los resultados al reducir el margen entre el segundo y el primer lugar • Comprender nuestra conexión espiritual con Dios y cómo eso afecta la planificación y los resultados • Identificar el momento preciso en el que preguntar ¿por qué? incrementa el éxito de un plan.

How do you get away with the murder of 11 million people? The answer is simple—and disturbing. You lie to them. Learn how you can become an informed, passionate citizen who demands honesty and integrity from your leaders. In this nonpartisan New York Times bestselling book, Andy Andrews emphasizes that seeking and discerning the truth is of critical importance, and that believing lies is the most dangerous thing you can do. You’ll be challenged to become a more careful student of the past, seeking accurate, factual accounts of events that illuminate choices our world faces now. By considering how the Nazi German regime was able to carry out over eleven million institutional killings between 1933 and 1945, Andrews advocates for an informed population that demands honesty and integrity from its leaders and from each other. This short, thought-provoking book poses questions like: What happens to a society in which truth is absent? How are we supposed to tell the difference between the “good guys" and the “bad guys”? How does the answer to this question affect our country, families, faith, and values? Does it matter that millions of ordinary citizens aren't participating in the decisions that shape the future of our country? Which is more dangerous: politicians with ill intent, or the too-trusting population that allows such people to lead them? This is a wake-up call: we must become informed, passionate citizens or suffer the consequences of our own ignorance and apathy. We can no longer measure a leader’s worth by the yardsticks provided by the left or the right. Instead, we must use an unchanging standard: the pure, unvarnished truth.
