UN CONTAGIOSAMENTE EDIFICANTE —Y NO TAN SANTO— LIBRO DE AUTOAYUDA QUE SE SUMERGE EN LAS VIDAS SALVAJES, SABIAS Y POCO CONVENCIONALES DE LAS MONJAS DE LOS SIGLOS XVI Y XVIICuando pensamos en monjas, la mayoría imaginamos manos entrelazadas en oración, pasos solemnes por pasillos silenciosos y la silueta inconfundible del hábito. Pero ¿qué hay de aquellas que comían telarañas, se enzarzaban en peleas por el maquillaje o producían manuscritos en cadena para ganar un dinero extra? En realidad, estas mujeres estaban lejos de ser mártires unidimensionales. Las monjas de los siglos XVI y XVII eran ingeniosas, rebeldes y sorprendentemente cercanas a nosotros, y sus vidas encierran lecciones insospechadas para el presente.Instrucción de novicias es tu guía para enfrentarte a todo, desde la burocracia patriarcal hasta una amistad que roza la obsesión, con la ayuda de las monjas más fascinantes de la historia. ¿Problemas de dinero? Santa Teresa y sus compañeras carmelitas tienen consejos a prueba de recesiones. ¿Te pierdes en las redes sociales y el FOMO te devora? La capacidad milagrosa de María de Jesús de Ágreda para estar en dos sitios a la vez quizá te inspire nuevas estrategias. ¿Confundida por una relación entre amigas con demasiada química? Los anhelos de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz esconden revelaciones inesperadas.Combinando investigación rigurosa con una buena dosis de humor e hilando referencias pop y anécdotas personales, las investigadoras y mejores amigas de la Universidad de Brown, Ana Garriga y Carmen Urbita, nos revelan los secretos más jugosos de la vida monástica para ayudarnos a sobrellevar este mundo moderno, ansioso e hiperconectado.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"Delightful." —The Guardian"Cheeky."—The New York Times "Insightful." —Marie Claire A not-so-saintly self-help book that dives into the wild, wise, and unconventional lives of 16th- and 17th-century nuns and proves one thing: No matter the century, nuns know best.When most of us think of nuns, we picture hands clasped in prayer, solemn shuffles down cloistered halls, and that iconic habit silhouette. But what about the nuns who ate spiderwebs, erupted into jealous fights over makeup, or chain-produced manuscripts for extra cash? In reality, these women were no one-dimensional martyrs. 16th- and 17th-century nuns were resourceful, rebellious, and refreshingly relatable—and their lives hold surprising lessons for us today.Convent Wisdom is your guide to navigating everything from patriarchal bureaucracy to an all-consuming friend crush with help from history’s most fascinating nuns. Struggling with money? Saint Teresa and her fellow Carmelites have recession-proof advice. Scrolling social media and drowning in FOMO? Mary of Jesus of Ágreda’s miraculous ability to engage in bilocation might help you cope. Confounded by a lesbian situationship? The yearnings of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz contain unexpected insights.Blending rigorous research with tongue-in-cheek takeaways and weaving pop culture and personal anecdotes throughout, Brown University scholars and best friends Ana Garriga and Carmen Urbita spill the juicy inside scoop on monastic life so you can better conquer today’s anxiety-ridden, hyper-connected world. Be it work woes, unholy diets, or crises of the soul, the nuns of Convent Wisdom are here to guide you—with a wink and a prayer. Read more
