[Spanish] - Nacidos para sudar: El calor nos hace más fuertes
"Del coautor de Outlive, número uno de The New York Times, con más de 2 millones de ejemplares vendidos. Una exploración innovadora sobre la capacidad de nuestro cuerpo para adaptarse a temperaturas extremas y aprovechar el calor para alcanzar una salud óptima. «Fascinante». James Nestor, autor best seller de Respira ¿Y si la clave para prosperar en un mundo cada vez más cálido no fuera evitar el calor, sino aprender a aprovecharlo a nuestro favor? En Nacidos para sudar, el periodista científico Bill Gifford nos guía en una exploración fascinante del poder del sudor para mejorar nuestro rendimiento y nuestra salud. Combinando ciencia de vanguardia, experiencias personales y consejos prácticos, revela que la adaptación al calor y terapias térmicas como la sauna activan los mecanismos naturales del cuerpo que favorecen la longevidad y la resiliencia. Para ello, el autor: * se adentra en el mundo vaporoso de las saunas finlandesas, * se presta como sujeto de estudio en laboratorios de calor de última generación, * afronta una ruta en bicicleta de ciento sesenta kilómetros bajo el sol abrasador de Texas, * explora cómo la terapia de infrarrojos podría combatir la depresión con mayor eficacia que algunos medicamentos. A través de investigaciones innovadoras en biología evolutiva, fisiología y termorregulación, este libro muestra que los seres humanos evolucionamos para prosperar en condiciones sofocantes, y que reactivar esta ventaja ancestral nos ayudará a rendir mejor, a prolongar la vida de manera saludable y a adaptarnos a un planeta cada vez más cálido. A lo largo de este audiolibro descubrirás que el sudor es mucho más que un mecanismo de refrigeración: es clave para lograr el máximo rendimiento. Nacimos para sudar, y sudar nos hace más fuertes. La crítica ha dicho: «Fascinante. Gifford demuestra con ciencia y sudor que el calor no es el enemigo, es un superpoder que hemos olvidado cómo se utiliza.» James Nestor, autor best seller de Respira «Nacidos para sudar es una exploración fascinante del calor como pilar fundamental de la salud.» Dra. Sara Szal, autora de The Hormone Cure y Women, Food and Hormones «Una investigación apasionante sobre el poder del calor que nos recuerda que el camino hacia un cuerpo y una mente más fuertes a menudo pasa directamente por la incomodidad.» Michael Easter , autor superventas de The Comfort Crisis y Scarcity Brain «¡Lee este libro! Nacidos para sudar es una obra maestra de divulgación científica que desentraña los beneficios del calor para la salud.» Dan Buettner, investigador de National Geographic, autor superventas de The New York Times y fundador de Blue Zones"

Hotwired: How the Hidden Power of Heat Makes Us Stronger from the Bestselling co-author of Outlive
"Brought to you by Penguin. Humans were born to sweat – and sweating makes us stronger. In Hotwired, bestselling co-author of Outlive and science editor Bill Gifford explores how heat can improve our performance and our health. Combining cutting-edge science, personal discovery and practical insights, Gifford reveals how humans evolved to excel in hot conditions – and how we’ve lost touch with this ancient advantage. He plunges into the steamy world of Finnish saunas, serves as a test subject in heat labs and tackles a 100-mile bike ride under the blazing Texas sun to show how exposing ourselves to discomfort can expand our physical and mental limits. He even explores how infrared sauna therapy and cold plunging could fight depression more effectively than medication. And he examines how, in cities around the globe, social saunas are reviving communal wellness. Whether you want to perform better, extend your lifespan or adapt to a warming planet, Gifford shows you the incredible benefits of reawakening your body’s natural adaptability to heat and cold. Hotwired is a thrilling call to reimagine heat – not as a threat, but as a tool for strength, resilience and longevity. 'Read this book! Hotwired is a masterpiece of story-driven science that unpacks that health benefits of heat.' Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow, New York Times bestselling author and founder of the Blue Zones 'Bill Gifford makes the science come alive' Michael Easter, New York Times bestselling author of The Comfort Crisis and Scarcity Brain 'Fascinating. Gifford shows - through science and sweat - that heat isn't the enemy. It's a superpower we've forgotten how to use' James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath © Bill Gifford 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity: The Million-Copy Bestseller
"Brought to you by Penguin. This is the ultimate manual for living better and longer. For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Dr Peter Attia, the world's top longevity expert who is featured on Chris Hemsworth's National Geographic documentary LIMITLESS, believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalised, proactive strategy for longevity. This isn't 'biohacking,' it's science: a well-founded strategic approach to extending lifespan while improving our physical, cognitive and emotional health, making each decade better than the one before. With Outlive's practical advice and roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before. 'One of the most important books you'll ever read.' - Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics ©2023 Peter Attia & Bill Gifford (P)2023 Penguin Audio"
