Bucay, Jorge.
Argentina: RBA, dist. Santillana. 2008. 285p. ISBN 978-84-9867-117-9. $21.99. SELF-HELP

The prolific and best-selling Bucay has refreshed, reorganized, and synthesized material previously published in his series “Hojas de Ruta”—consisting of of El camino de la auto-dependencia, El camino del encuentro, El camino de las lágrimas, and El camino de la felicidad—which presented his views on achieving self-realization and happiness. Happiness is achieved, says Bucay here, through the process of exploring and answering three fundamental questions: Who am I? Where am I going? With whom? The book is organized around these questions, with each question helping readers explore their own answers. All of Bucay’s familiar themes—the importance of knowing oneself and accepting responsibility for one’s life, finding purpose in life, and maintaining loving relationships—are presented in a new and succinct manner. Bucay’s easy, warm, and conversational manner makes the thought-provoking material interesting and fun to read. For the uninitiated, this can serve as an introduction to Bucay’s work. For his legions of fans, this will satisfy and bring a different perspective to familiar themes. Highly recommended for all public libraries, academic libraries, and bookstores.
