¿Qué es para ti la felicidad?

Hablar por hablar (Listening)

Hablemos de felicidad (happiness)

¿Qué significa realmente la buena y la mala suerte? En este episodio de 'Tales from de Macondo Man', nos sumergimos en la fascinante parábola china de 'El hombre que perdió su caballo'. Acompaña al narrador mientras desentrañamos esta historia sobre un hombre cuya vida da giros inesperados, demostrando que lo que a primera vista parece una desgracia puede convertirse en una bendición, y viceversa. Además, exploramos la riqueza de la sabiduría popular española a través de dichos como 'No hay mal que por bien no venga', 'Cuando una puerta se cierra, ciento se abren' y otros, revelando cómo estas expresiones encapsulan la misma verdad universal. Un episodio lleno de reflexiones sobre el destino, la resiliencia y la interconexión de los acontecimientos.
