THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE Unknown -

by Spark, Muriel


About this book

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, author Muriel Spark’s best-known work, is the story of an eccentric Edinburgh teacher who inspires cult-like reverence in her young female student-followers, referred to as “the crème de la crème.” Proud and cultured, Miss Brodie makes her distaste for conventional education known to the girls and she instead instills in them her own passion for art, music, men, and all things Italian.  At first, her ideas dazzle and seduce the girls; however, Miss Brodie’s hubris—her excessive self-confidence—also exposes the girls to a new world of adult games and boundary crossing. Miss Brodie’s character is loosely based on Christina Kay, who taught Sparks for two years at James Gillespie's School for Girls.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is so short that it was first published, in its entirety, in the New Yorker. (Macmillan later reissued it in novel form). The novel has been adapted several times. Perhaps most notable is the 1969 film adaptation, starring Maggie Smith who won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is ranked 76th on Modern Library’s “100 Best” English-language novels of the 20th century and 79th on The Guardian’s list of the 100 best novel. It is also included in TIME’s “100 Best Novels” (since 1923).

From the publisher

Un arsenal de armas contra el miedo que te llevar a establecer una nueva relacin con las circunstancias que te producen temor e iniciar el camino a un nuevo y mejor futuro.

Las trampas del miedo, la continuacin del xito de ventas, Inquebrantables, es una visita a las dimensiones biolgicas, psicolgicas y espirituales de los temores que debemos desmantelar. El autor explica cmo operan estas trampas y ofrece herramientas para superarlas, pero no se queda all incluye varias de las secuelas que el miedo causa y explora alternativas para enfrentarlas.

Las trampas del miedo es para ti si quieres:

  • desmantelar los miedos paralizantes
  • tomar mejores decisiones
  • trazar el mapa de tu propsito
  • navegar la soledad
  • catalizar la prdida
  • aprender a meditar y orar

En este libro, Habif potencia su habitual discurso desenfadado y energizante con una recopilacin de investigaciones que soportan la mdula de su pensamiento, varias de ellas a contrapelo de lo que suele repetirse en los discursos de motivacin. Es un arsenal de datos de inters y ejercicios de fcil aplicacin y seguimiento.

Su propuesta va desde las profundidades de la comprensin del miedo a ciertos comportamientos que, sin saberlo, estn vinculados con l, como las adicciones, la permanencia en el dolor, la ausencia de control interno o el rechazo al amor.

Desde los padecimientos producidos por el miedo a su recuperacin, Habif escoge sus experiencias y comparte las claves de su xito. Estos conocimientos llevarn a los lectores a establecer una nueva relacin con las circunstancias que les producen temor y a comprender que no tiene que huirle, sino responder con los mismos recursos que este aplica: una estrategia de trampas.

�La vida es el libro de los hechos, no de los intentos. Este es el momento de apostar en ti, porque si no lo haces t, quin lo va a hacer? --Daniel Habif

Fear Traps

An arsenal of weapons against fear that will lead you to establish a new relationship with the circumstances that produce fear and start the path to a new and better future.

In Fear Traps, the follow-up to the bestseller, Unbreakables, is a trek into the biological, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of fear that we must dismantle. The author explains how these traps operate and offers tools for overcoming them.

Fear Traps is for you if you want to:

  • dismantle paralyzing fears
  • make better decisions
  • create a map for your purpose
  • navigate loneliness
  • come to grips with loss
  • learn to meditate and pray

In this book, Habif guides us with his usual light-hearted and energizing manner through research that supports the core of his thinking, going against the grain of what's common in many other motivational and self-help books. Fear Traps is an arsenal of interesting data and exercises that are easy to apply and follow.

This book guides the reader to the depths of understanding fear as well as to certain behaviors that, without knowing it, are linked to fear, such as addictions, pain, lack of self-control, or the rejection of love.

From experiencing suffering caused by fear to recovering, Habif tells his experiences and shares the keys to his success. These insights will lead readers to establish a new relationship with the circumstances that produce fear and to understand that you do not have to run away from it, but to respond with specific strategies.
