0 Qué quiere decir autodependencia? Es el reconocimiento pleno de que uno es el protagonista de su propia existencia. Significa aceptar que, si bien no somos autosuficientes-pues todos dependemos en alguna medida de los demás-, sí tenemos la responsabilidad de decidir los términos bajo los cuales vamos a vivir.

No one can walk down the personal path that leads to happiness for us. Everyone must take the course at their own risk. There are, of course, those who are slightly lost and arrive a bit late, as well as those that discover the shortcut and become the leaders. In this book, Jorge Bucay shares with us the first of his Roadmaps: personal maps that help us stay on course and better cope with obstacles that we inevitably find in our way.
