ABOUT THE BOOK
In her book, the author shares her particular experience, peppered with personal anecdotes, to offer keys on how to approach and face challenges. In this way, with an inspiring and vitalistic testimony, the author merges essay, fiction, and autobiography to reflect on the impulses that guide throughout life and shape the way we see the world, while encouraging us to «never give up in the pursuit of our dreams.»
Divided into six ‘orbits,’ each chapter addresses topics such as the search for identity, the freedom to make our own decisions, the courage to challenge the established, the expansion of physical and mental limits, and the weight of traditions. All this with a critical, sometimes ironic, look at conventions.
