Publisher's Synopsis
In a time marked by saturated schedules, uninterrupted decisions, and the mirage of infinite productivity, this book proposes an elegant and necessary rupture: to redefine success from a deeper understanding of human temporality, the ethics of care, and the silent transformations that shape our way of living and working.
"REDEFINING SUCCESS IN THE DIGITAL AGE" is an invitation to reflection - and action - for those who feel they have lost the thread of their choices amid corporate pressures, technological promises, and the unsustainable acceleration of everyday life. Inspired by a sophisticated yet accessible approach, the book offers a transformative journey through crucial themes that define the successful contemporary experience. Written with the depth of a philosophical treatise and the clarity of a practical guide, this work interweaves knowledge from different fields - existential philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, time management and organizational health - to propose a new paradigm: that of livable excellence, in which success and well-being are not mutually exclusive, but mutually fertilized.

Instead of promising everything at the same time, it invites the reader to a reconciliation with time, with the body and with what really matters. It is essential reading for anyone who wants not only to succeed, but to be successful - with lucidity, integrity, and humanity. Redefining success is ultimately a gesture of freedom.
