Key learnings to build a love relationship from Lovetopia

12/11/2023 | | English, lovetopia | No hay comentarios

The different women in «Lovetopia» each represent distinct aspects of a relationship, such as non-judgmental acceptance, nurturing care, shared enthusiasm, resilience, spontaneity, embracing contradictions, avoidance of control, and an uninhibited approach to intimacy. These aspects, while highlighted individually through different characters, are indeed meant to be integrated and nurtured together in a holistic approach to relationships.

In Lovetopia, relationships are seen as multifaceted and dynamic, requiring a blend of various qualities and attitudes for them to thrive. The novel seems to suggest that a balanced and fulfilling relationship is not about focusing on just one of these aspects, but rather about blending them all harmoniously. This holistic approach encourages partners to be empathetic, supportive, adaptable, spontaneous, and open with each other, leading to a deeper and more meaningful connection.

In our current society, relationships often face challenges due to neglect of one or more of these aspects. Embracing the Lovetopian approach means acknowledging the importance of each of these elements and working towards incorporating them into our relationships. It’s about creating a balance where acceptance, care, enthusiasm, resilience, spontaneity, and freedom coexist, enriching the bond between partners.

This is a list of key learnings from Ruben’s relationships with the various women in Lovetopia: (más…)

La práctica de mindfulness: ¿qué es lo que entrenamos?

28/10/2021 | | cambio | No hay comentarios

Por lo general, los que practicamos mindfulness y meditación no tenemos mucha claridad sobre lo que estamos cuidando en nuestra experiencia interna y lo que estamos entrenando en nuestro cerebro. Sin embargo, esta claridad nos ayuda a comprender nuestra práctica desde la raíz, convirtiéndose en un aprendizaje clave que luego nos ayudará a mejorar y dirigir la práctica. (más…)

Jordan B. Peterson’s «Maps of Meaning»: what we should be grateful for

21/06/2021 | | cambio, educación, emprender | No hay comentarios

I got to know about Jordan B. Peterson while reading the The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Buzoff. She referred him in the context of the The Big Five Model and I was really in deep curiosity about this. In fact, I have been searching for a good way to learn it for years.

The Big Five Model, also known as the OCEAN model, is the most well known crossroads between technology and psychology. First time I knew about this model was when the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2017. Then, it came back to me while reading and researching Yuval Noah Harari‘s books during 2018 and 2019. Again, it appeared again with the The Social Dilemma documentary and in Shoshana Buzoff’s book in 2020. Finnally, i found it indirectly again in the book AI Superpowers by Kai-Fu Lee associated to what he refers as «the first wave of AI: internet AI».

This model is what big technology companies like facebook, google and others use to organize and classify users. In other words, this model describes the «psychologicy profiles» that they «big tech companies» use to understand better who we are and what is it that motivates us in order to define who to serve and with which services . Please, note that «we» means  «you and me and all people that we know» up to 2,7 billion users (this is the latest «number of active users in facebook» as declared by the company). Of course, I fully know that this paragraph could be a bible itself if we focus on the words «who to serve and with which services», which happens to be the theme of Shoshana Buzoff’s book. (más…)

Mi «nuevo yo» en esta «nueva normalidad»

26/05/2020 | | cambio, English, experiencias | No hay comentarios

Eso que llaman la «nueva normalidad» nos ha llegado, sin excepción, a todos y cada uno, con independencia de cómo hemos vivido estas últimas semanas o lo qué opinemos sobre el corona-virus, el gobierno o el resto de nosotros (la ciudadanía).

Esta «nueva normalidad» tiene algunas características directas e íntimas que facilita reconocer como el «nuevo yo» y que agrupo en dos «novedades fuera» y dos «novedades dentro».

Las novedades fuera (de ahí, F1 y F2) son las siguientes:

F1. una exigencia de DISTANCIA SOCIAL y la correspondiente obligatoriedad de llevar MASCARILLA cuando no es factible;
F2. una recomendación generalizada de NO TOCAR y de mantener una HIGIENE estricta;

Las novedades dentro (de ahí, D1 y D2) son estas:

D1. una exposición permanente a la CONFUSIÓN y a la FALTA DE COHERENCIA;
D2. una TORMENTA EMOCIONAL continua que a veces me arrastra al sufrimiento y la angustia, a veces a estados de alerta y tensión. (más…)

An introductory course and first experience with HeartMath

24/04/2019 | | cambio, experiencias, SIY | No hay comentarios

After my writing of #lovetopía and my SIYLI training, I was in a strong will to get closer to the HeartMath Institute (HMI). Some way, I felt the need to deep on an alternative approach to current mindfulness theories where the «heart» plays also a role. This will got stronger after my BeingOne Forum experiece as presenter when an unknown attendee (who happened to be Silvia Di Luzio) gifted me her book by the title «Start with the Heart – A new medical model«.

So, once more, I asked for and life provided. This online course by the name «HeartMath Resilience Advantage Program» pass through some weeks ago and I enrolled. The course was online and in Spanish. I received a booklet with the main contents in my postbox some days before the course started. We were six participants plus Pablo, the teacher (he declared that he is the unique HMI Certified Teacher in Spain)

What follows are my notes so you can also get closer to HMI approach (given that you are familiarized with mindfulness already): (más…)

Yes, I am a SIY Certified Teacher and I am overflowing with gratitude and love

01/09/2018 | | English, experiencias, SIY | 2 Comentario

Yesterday, August 31st 2018, I received a simple email message in which I was informed that I have received the status as Certified Teacher by the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI). Smile on my face and in my heart, I reflect aloud about this trip that started in May of last year.

It was on my way to the NESI Forum (New Economy & Social Innovation Forum) when Esther, then a new friend of BlaBlaCar and today a good friend of the heart, it was then that Esther told me about a mindfulness program developed at Google. My first reaction was rejection, kind of verbalizing «that does not exist because if it existed I would surely know». She insisted and I kept the question opened.

A few weeks later, I sat at my computer, I launched a couple of searches and … olé! … there it was. I felt a sense of new identity, very strong, like the one I experienced when I discovered Theory-U and Otto Scharmer’s Presencing Institute. I read everything that had to be read and I felt in love.

The story that stuck with me was as follows. A Google engineer, Chade Meng-Tan, designed a course of mindfulness and emotional intelligence to help his (Google’s) coleagues to enjoy more of their work and improve their performance. His success was such, such was the good reception and long waiting lists, that over time that became the headline of articles in the press. He ended up making a «spin-off» that shaped what I had just discovered: the startup of Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute as an independent, non-profit organization, with the aim of offering that same training outside Google and with the great intention of working for peace in the world.

Liderazgo humano y organizaciones turquesa: un nuevo modelo de organización y liderazgo para la empresa

07/04/2018 | | cambio, emprender, nuevas tecnologías, otra economía, SIY, startwith_US, TheAppSchool | 1 Comentario

Desde el año 2011, pero en especial desde que publiqué mi novela #lovetopía en 2014, ando ocupado definiendo un modelo de emprendizaje, liderazgo y empresa que pueda considerar verdaderamente lovetopiano.

Mi objetivo siempre ha sido sencillo y ambicioso en partes iguales: que el modelo resultante fuese coherente con los valores y principios de la sociedad de #lovetopía y que, desde la realidad de hoy, ayudase a poner en marcha empresas (o reorganizar empresas existentes) que pongan toda su energía creadora al servicio de la construcción de una sociedad como la que ofrezco en #lovetopía. Por supuesto, quienes me conocéis, podéis intuir que mis intentos siempre han perseguido ofrecer una propuesta con raíces bien profundas, para que no se tambalee, que admita un crecimiento rápido y que construya desde toda mi experiencia en la industria (y la tecnología) digital.
