A growing library: published works and the ones on their way.
Manuel shares the experiences of his professional career and as a marathoner. A must-read for anyone looking to begin this path, with the closeness of someone who has lived it firsthand.
It brings down to earth concepts that often stay as pretty phrases: purpose → habits → metrics → learning. A guide to move forward with strategic calm and measurable results.
Running 35 marathons and sustaining a 33-year career at IBM doesn't happen by luck, but with discipline that's out of the ordinary. Manuel is living proof that consistency is also a form of genius.
It invites you to run with your heart, to turn exhaustion into purpose and every fall into a new starting line. The finish line is not at the end of the road, but in every step.
Overcome your fears, endure the pain and cross the finish line. $400 MXN with shipping included.
