The tree is a symbol of a sense of belonging and connection. Many people today feel that they do not fully fit into their environment (family, work, cultural...) They can establish very intense connections (online) but at the same time may feel a great loneliness or that they are without a place to contribute.

Many people do not know the origin of their discomfort: they have never learned to detect the symptoms, as in the case of Noemy. She knows MAP because of her son, but upon hearing the MAP procedure during the first visit, she soon discovers it for herself. What she says is true: there are many people who

If more than one solution is not sought, it ends in disability → The first alternative is not the only solution. I present a classic writing that concludes with the morality: “Don't complicate your work! Conceive the simplest solution to the PROBLEM. Learn to focus on SOLUTIONS and not on PROBLEMS.” The issue is even more important: if more than one solution is not sought

A 16-year-old philosopher points to the wound: what does it mean that we fear change? She looks, reads seemingly insignificant things like the keyboard of her computer, and asks questions that anyone should ask. Precisely because it is something HUMAN, unique, and inimitable... Why do we want freedom? What do we understand by freedom? One in two

Recently, I wrote a review for the Spanish Journal of Pedagogy about an essay titled Educator's Heart by Jaume Camps, a former professor I had at university. The book highlights that behind many educators, we find something immaterial, something intangible that is often referred to as vocation. This is defined and perceived through the testimony of many teachers.

Life is a sequence of tones: light and dark, high and low; an increasingly harmonious and intimate melody that leaves a resonance: my personal contribution, which enriches and accompanies people, uniting the sounds of the world. Thanks to a friend, I discovered the violin maker Martin Schleske, who understands

How do you become YOURSELF? We all know the sayings that are illustrated on postcards, t-shirts, and Instagram. Be yourself! Or, to put it in the words of Coco Chanel: “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself!” – but – how to achieve it? This text by a 16-year-old philosopher, because that is what she is, clearly shows

Carles Capdevila was a Catalan journalist and screenwriter with a great career, not only in journalism but also in education, having a significant impact on children's education. In one of his last interviews, where he presents his latest book *The Life I Learn*, 2017; already with some weakness due to the cancer he

On Christmas Day, Disney released Soul, a Pixar production by the great Peter Docter (Inside Out, Up, Toy Story…). A small gem of cinema that we recommend and where we have found many of the key intuitions that drive MAP's research. We have all seen animated films where the characters...

This week, our colleague Jordi Claret, primary school teacher and family man, conducted a workshop for Eurekakids television titled “Learning to Manage Emotions.” As he himself announces at the beginning of the talk, his approach to the topic is based on his own personal experience as a parent, as a teacher and

Puff the Magic Dragon is an American folk song that originated from a poem and has become part of the popular culture of many countries. I have sung it many times with my students at school, and it always creates a magical and nostalgic atmosphere. I think its lyrics suggest that today we should talk about loneliness. One

I recommend this video by Doctor of Philosophy Jordi Graupera, in which he explains that we live in times marked by the fear of death. This circumstance leads us to try to hide it by distancing ourselves from illness, old age, and death. The sick are treated in hospitals, the elderly are cared for in nursing homes, and the dead are

“A vacation at the other end of Europe that could not take place, a concert tour that had to be canceled, the longing for the uncle or aunt at the 'second home': the vast majority of the 49 entries received for the #Little Steps competition by the European Commission had one theme: the restriction of travel options

I came across Casi, a song that Ramón Melendi Espina released on November 1, 2019. The lyrics evoke what happens to a person who wants to soothe their insecurity by pretending to have everything under control. The sad reality is that they do not succeed and are always on the verge of …, almost …, almost …

Here is the conference 'Life after Life' that Dr. Manel Sans Segarra, a surgeon from the Barcelona Medical College, gave at the headquarters of the Tarragona Medical College on October 16, 2018. I found it very interesting and recommend watching it. In his professional life, he has encountered patients who are clinically

Here is the presentation of the book Because you have seen me, you have believed. The New Testament in art, published by Fundación Amigos Museo del Prado last November by Pablo d’Ors. It is the first time I have listened to a conference by this grandson of Eugenio d’Ors and, to be honest, I loved it. I saw a parallelism with

TDA – ADHD One of the origins of a person's lack of attention is a decrease in confidence and security. The MAP method allows for the identification of the origin of the lack of confidence and security within the person, and provides tools that enable them to increase their academic and professional performance.
