«Goza el día, y no creas nunca que va a haber otro».

Nunca es tarde para descubrir las claves de la felicidad que nos regalaron los clásicos.

El coaching no es invento nuevo. De hecho, buena parte de lo que hoy en día aparece en charlas y libros de autoayuda ya estaba en los poemas, obras teatrales y discursos filosóficos que escribieron griegos y romanos hace dos mil años. Algunas de esas enseñanzas, sin embargo, nos han llegado a medias o en versiones descafeinadas. Y aún tenemos mucho que aprender de ellas.

El poeta y filólogo Juan Antonio González Iglesias nos lleva de la mano a recorrer los textos de autores como Ovidio, Horacio, Marcial o Marco Aurelio. A través de su pensamiento, nos descubre la vigencia de sus ideas para nuestro día a día. Porque regresando a las raíces de nuestra cultura podemos aprender a ser más felices.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Enjoy every day as if it were your last.”

It’s never too late to discover the secrets to happiness contained in the classics.
 
Life coaching is not a new invention. In fact, much of the advice shared by contemporary self-help books and motivational speakers can be found in Greek and Roman poems, plays and philosophical works dating back two thousand years. The messages we hear today, however, are often watered-down versions of the originals, which still have much to teach us.
 
Poet and philologist Juan Antonio González Iglesias guides readers on a rediscovery of authors such as Ovid, Horace, Martial and Marcus Aurelius, many of whose ideas have retained their relevance over the millennia. By returning to the roots of our culture, he maintains, we can learn to be happier today.
