Hay algunas historias y mensajes que me gustan y más que no.. pero lo que realmente me disgusta es que no dice el origen de las cuentas. Hay muchas que he oído por otras partes y me parece importante saber de dónde provienen.

Wie begegnet man den Wirrnissen des Lebens? Mit Geschichten, sagt Jorge Bucay, der die Gabe hat, das Komplizierte einfach werden zu lassen. Und er hilft seinem Zuhörer Demian, seine Ängste und Probleme besser zu verstehen, indem er ihm Märchen aus aller Welt, Sufi-Gleichnisse, Zen-Weisheiten, antike Sagen, selbst Erfundenes erzählt. »Bucays Buch ist voll von zauberhaften Geschichten, die einem helfen, sich selbst zu helfen.« Bücher-Zeitung
