C7 reads

Since its beginnings, there were very few requirements for each new C7 employee. As time went by, some basic conditions were added, each of them with its corresponding learning system, to carry out in the first months of activity.
However there is a first condition that survived from those early days and that remains valid today: reading.
An old rumour, which has already become myth, says that Hari Seldon himself predicted C7's foundation, while working in his theory about the Galactic Empire decline. In his honor, The Foundation (I. Asimov) is the first non-theoretical book recommended for anyone who wants to understand what is done within Continente Siete.
In contrast, in The Fifth Discipline (P. Senge) is where one can find better answers in terms of operational and theoretical aspects. These help you understand the mindset and approach taken in most problems, and the subsequent resolution.
The last member of the founding triad is The Black Swan (N. Taleb). This book serves as a constant reminder that those premises which are assumed as valid are not always so, thereby driving a constant review of every working paradigm.
Numerous literary works were added to these three books, such as Statistical Inference and Design of Experiments (R. García), Six Pixels of Separation (M. Joel), Pride and Prejudice (J. Austen), The Courage of Truth (M. Foucault), The Tipping Point (M. Gladwell). Each one of them has an owner who lends it so that anyone interested can read it, scoring on a sheet that serves as a record and control, to avoid  losing anything on the way.
Together, these books foster the habit of reading, both as educational and for the simple pleasure of reading. In fact, our library is near the arm chairs, inviting anyone who has some time off to visit at any point.
So the next time you come, we invite you to look through all these books. I am sure you'll find one that catches your eye, allowing you to pause your activities, have a coffee and read, read, read.

Leer, leer, leer, vivir la vida

que otros soñaron.

Leer, leer, leer, el alma olvida

las cosas que pasaron.

Se quedan las que quedan, las ficciones,

las flores de la pluma,

las solas, las humanas creaciones,

el poso de la espuma.

Leer, leer, leer; ¿seré lectura

mañana también yo?

¿Seré mi creador, mi criatura,

seré lo que pasó?

- Miguel de Unamuno -
