Recommended Portfolio: Help! I have a boss

The book "Help! I Have a Boss" by Sami Ramírez is a practical guide that analyzes workplace relationships between bosses and employees, proposing alternatives for transforming a potentially toxic dynamic into an opportunity for growth. The author explores the roots of these conflicts and offers tools for managing them effectively.

The book is presented as a humane and practical guide for those who feel trapped in a difficult work relationship but are unclear about what to do. The author structures her proposal around three pillars so they don't have to simply choose between giving up or putting up with it: It is crucial to analyze the conflict from the perspective of differences between people, conflicts of values, and undergo a process of self-knowledge to identify one's own strengths. Evaluating emotional intelligence, the proposal includes understanding one's own emotions and learning to manage what is happening in the workplace, especially those intense emotions such as anger, frustration, and fear that a bad relationship with a boss can arouse. In addition, it invites the reader to reflect on whether the problem truly lies in the relationship with the boss or, in reality, in a deeper dissatisfaction with the job itself. A fundamental principle of the book is the idea that "bosses are not parents or teachers." Ramírez warns that it is a common mistake to project onto the boss the expectations of healing or nurturing that come from other relationships, and emphasizes that each person comes to work with their own "childhood wounds" that they must address, without expecting the boss to resolve them. The book addresses the phenomenon of new generations in the workplace. It explains that while young people have valuable lessons to learn about the pursuit of happiness at work and the rejection of unsatisfactory environments, it also points out that a lack of perseverance can deprive them of accumulating crucial experiences for their future professional development.

With engaging language and storytelling, the book offers a mirror for the reader to make decisions from a place of awareness, not fear.

'All the Daughters of My Father's House' by Juan Francisco Ferré. Publisher: Anagrama

The Spanish transition as it's never been told before: through the experiences and hallucinatory writing of a teenager awakening to the adult world. In the novel, she recounts her awakening to adulthood from her teenage years in a Dutch-founded housing development, where her rebellious hedonism and friendship with the ever-present Regina will catapult her far from the surrounding mediocrity.

It is about writing as a weapon against the world, crossed by transitions and initiations: transitions: it takes place in Spain between 1976 and 1983, and initiations, because what is being told is the discovery of the adult world through sex and desire.

'The Three Worlds' by Santiago Posterguillo. Publisher: B

In 58 BC, Rome, Gaul and Egypt were three different worlds that, without knowing it, were heading towards a single destiny... If in Rome is me we knew the origins of Julius Caesar and in Damned Rome we witnessed his political rise, now Caesar faces one of the greatest historical challenges of all time: the conquest of Gaul, a territory always hostile to Rome, vast, immense and, in the eyes of Caesar's enemies, an unconquerable place destined to be his tomb. With rigorous documentation and a superb pace, we experience the suffering and epic nature of the Gallic Wars, but we also witness the fratricidal political struggle in Rome and travel into exile with Pharaoh Ptolemy XII, expelled from Egypt in the company of his daughter, the young and mythical Cleopatra.
