Gracias a los tres mil pesos moneda nacional que le otorga el segundo Premio Municipal de Literatura, Borges dedica el año 1929 a una investigación sobre el poeta Evaristo Carriego que se transforma en un profundo y revelador estudio sobre el mundo del tango. Más de treinta años después r
evive ese mundo, que lo había adentrado en los bajos fondos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, en cuatro conferencias que dicta los lunes de octubre de 1965 a las siete de la tarde en un departamento del barrio porteño de Constitución. Lúcido y ocurrente, Borges exhuma el Palermo y el Sur de antaño, poblados de compadritos, guapos, niños bien patoteros, "casas malas" y milongas, para interpelar el origen, los símbolos, los mitos y la lírica de la música emblemática del Río de la Plata. Transcriptas por primera vez en este libro, estas conferencias ofrecen un encuentro prodigioso: el de Borges y el tango, para él "un símbolo de felicidad".
Escuchá la tercera conferencia.

Conferencia 3. El tango. Cuatro conferencias. Jorge Luis Borges

Si tomaste la decisión de alcanzar el éxito de una vez por todas, este libro es para ti. Tu Momento Es Ahora. Punto.

El éxito es una ciencia y un arte a la vez. Por un lado, son principios que invariablemente te llevarán a acercarte a tus sueños. Por otro, es un arte, un proceso de descubrirte a ti mismo, y encontrar plenitud y significado para tu vida. Necesitas aprender ambos: el arte y la ciencia del éxito. Este libro te llevará por un proceso de tres pasos:

Conquistando lo interno: Para tener éxito y lograr tus sueños (conquistar lo externo), primero necesitas conquistar lo interno. Debes aprender a reprogramar tu mente, conectar con tu espíritu y desarrollar tu cuerpo, y así estar listo para la gran aventura de tu vida.El epicentro de la plenitud, el significado y la felicidad se encuentran en este primer paso. Si no conquistas lo interno, nunca te sentirás pleno, sin importar el nivel de éxito que hayas alcanzado. Todo esto es el arte del éxito.

Conectando lo interno con lo externo: Este segundo paso tiene que ver con la definición de la visión para tu vida, tus metas, los hábitos que necesitas desarrollar para transitar el camino correcto. En este segundo paso defines el mapa que precisas para lanzarte a la aventura por tus sueños.

Conquistando lo externo: En este tercer y último paso te entrego las herramientas y las habilidades básicas que necesitas para alcanzar el éxito tal y como lo tienes definido. Aquí descubrirás la ciencia del éxito: establecer una estructura integral que puedes seguir para lograr tus metas de manera tangible.

Este es el momento que has estado esperando. Tu momento es ahora.
