La doctora Gloria Villalba vive la neurocirugía no solo con auténtica pasión, sino como una autentica adicción. En este impactante libro se desnuda sin censura y nos muestra una personalidad indomable, que contrasta con una sensibilidad y empatía extraordinarias. Porque, como ella mismo confiesa, no le ha sido fácil -ni le sigue siendo- trabajar en una profesión con zonas muy oscuras, donde la integridad y la justicia demasiado a menudo brillan por su ausencia.

Every successful entrepreneur has their own story to tell. But the story in Dare to Become is especially intriguing and uplifting because Julie Gareleck didn’t have major venture capital dollars to fall back on, nor does she have an MBA from Harvard. What she did have, however, was a sense of drive—of grit—and of a burning desire to achieve her dream.

"Du bist so emotional", klingt nicht nach einem Kompliment, schon gar nicht in der Arbeitswelt. Im Job zeigt man keine Gefühle, stören sie doch das Arbeitsklima. Auf einen cholerischen Chef oder die weinende Kollegin verzichtet man gerne. Doch diese Sichtweise wird den Emotionen und ihrem positiven Einfluss nicht gerecht. Und überhaupt: Emotionen werden viel zu stark unterschätzt. Sie sind wichtig, will man Entscheidungen treffen oder kreativ zu sein. Auch um empathisch zu sein und wenn man sich mit seiner ganzen Persönlichkeit im Job einbringen will, geht das nicht ohne Gefühle.

But neither that chance meeting nor that discovery made Crick who he was. As Matthew Cobb shows in Crick, it is another chance encounter, with a line from the writing of Beat poet Michael McClure, that reveals Crick’s character: “THIS IS THE POWERFUL KNOWLEDGE,” it shouted. Crick, having read it, would keep it with him for the rest of his life.
