The value of a true friend seems a unanimous declaration: a friend is “someone who knows all about you and still loves you” (Elbert Hubbard) and “the most precious of all possessions” (La Rochefoucauld); friendship is “a single soul dwelling in two bodies” (Aristotle), “the only cement that will ever hold the world together” (Woodrow Wilson). And yet, the statement that gets at the heart of Ugarte’s book Deep Friendship belongs to Plutarch, who says: “A constant friend is a thing rare and hard to find.” This is especially true in today’s world, in which we are constantly surrounded by people, but seldom experience deep friendship. The concept and value of friendship has become, more than ever, a rare treasure. What seems a simple task—that of finding a true friend who cares, respects, and deeply appreciates you—can be harder than expected. In his book, Ugarte shares not only how to find a good friend, but how to be one. These attributes of true friendship lead to great benefits, including a more genuine happiness and a greater union with God.

The 21st century has seen a renewed interest in cultivating positive character traits, or virtues, to foster personal growth. Humility is a virtue that has long been understood--especially by early theological thinking and Western philosophers--through its associations with meekness and servility. Even in more recent, secular contexts, humility is associated with low-mindedness, self-denigration, and even self-loathing. While it seems paradoxical that this virtue can be developed to achieve a sense of well-being, this volume provides a comprehensive exploration of humility as an admirable and desirable trait that allows us to place the needs of others before our own, keep our accomplishments in perspective, and fully realize our small place in the world. In a series of multidisciplinary essays spanning religious and secular traditions, this volume introduces readers to the many facets of humility. Essays explore perspectives from Christianity, Judaism, and Islam on the role of humility in determining how we should align ourselves with a higher spiritual power. Other essays examine the epistemic value of humility in the development of knowledge, and the applied nature of this virtue within the professional fields of politics, business management, nursing and hospice care, and competitive sports. This collection concludes by considering the possibility of humility as the most important virtue, foundational to the moral development and expression of all other virtues.

The current financial crisis has deep macroeconomic roots, but the dominant view of the firm has made the crisis deeper and more devastating. Over the past few decades, maximizing shareholder value has become the main objective of the firm. Chief executives have been keen on this objective because their economic incentives have been clearly associated with stock market performance. Unfortunately, this has driven many CEOs to make terrible decisions based on short-termism and greed. In this way, the firm has become the object of anger, criticism and cynicism. In Building Respected Companies, Jordi Canals argues that we must address this problem by developing companies that serve society, not just their shareholders. This requires a new perspective of what a firm is, what the purpose of the firm in society should be and what the role of the board of directors and senior executives should be.

¿Qué tienen en común el seleccionador nacional de baloncesto y el director general de Inditex? Aunque a simple vista pudiera parecer que más bien poco, un análisis más profundo revela multitud de paralelismos entre los que, quizá, el más significativo sea que ambos dirigen equipos ejerciendo (y gestionando) el liderazgo con el objetivo de alcanzar la excelencia (se refleje ésta en una cuenta de resultados o en un campeonato olímpico). Partiendo de las similitudes (y también de las diferencias) entre el ámbito del deporte de alta competición y el mundo de la alta gestión, Juan Carlos Cubeiro y Leonor Gallardo desarrollan un estudio conciso y ameno, repleto de referencias a casos reales y cercanos de deportistas de éxito (Fernando Alonso, Rafa Nadal, el Sevilla C.F., etc.) y de empresas y empresarios igualmente reconocidos (Microsoft, Inditex...) de los que extraen valiosas lecciones que se pueden aplicar en nuestro día a día en la búsqueda de esa excelencia. Descriptivo y formativo, Liderazgo, empresa y deporte, puede leerse desde el punto de vista del deportista o del gestor pues ofrece claves esenciales que permitirán tanto a uno como a otro alcanzar el oro en la gestión y obtener dividendos tangibles en el deporte.
