Omschrijving

Have you ever felt stuck, drained by anxiety, or as if your life were "on pause" waiting for a stroke of luck?

Allow us to introduce you to Fidelio, the stingiest, always-asking country fellow, who is the tragicomic mirror of our own soul. Fidelio is the living image of human contradiction: a man blessed with talent and resources, yet paralyzed by the fear of spending them. Fidelio embodies the Paradox of the Seed: the universal fear of letting go of what we have (talent, presence, joy) for fear of losing it, condemning us to inertia, loneliness, and the belief that life must be a gift, not a sowing.

In "The Paradox of the Seed: A Miser Who Learned to Grow," Boris M. Mijares M. invites you on a journey through 14 motivational stories that, with folksy wisdom, touch upon the deepest crises of modern life. This book is a simple map of human psychology disguised as fables. Each tale is a seed that Fidelio refuses to plant, until life forces him to confront his own emotional stinginess.

Travel with Fidelio through the different stages of life, discovering essential lessons in each of his facets:

You will meet Fidelio the Gambler, who seeks the big, magic solution, and you will learn that success comes from the routine of fortune, not from chance. You will see Fidelio the CEO who refuses to delegate, and you will understand that leadership is an act of Trust, not of exhausting control. You will feel the anguish of Fidelio the Alcoholic who begs for a drink, and you will discover that honesty is the only boat that escapes the bottle of denial. You will laugh at Fidelio the YouTuber who begs for likes, and you will realize that validation is not asked for on a screen, but is born from your own truth. With Fidelio the Soccer Player who hoards the ball, you will learn that glory is a very large dish, and you cannot eat it alone.

This book is a powerful antidote against inertia, revealing a fundamental truth: depression is inertia, it is the paralysis of believing that the world must hand you success. Dignity and growth are earned by standing up and doing, not by waiting and asking.

Don't wait for the universe to gift you life. Take your role, let go of control, and sow the seed of your own presence in the world. Growth is inevitable if you dare to release what you guard so closely.

Stop being the plot that asks. Dare to be the Harvest.

Your seed is in your hand. Do you dare to let it go?
