A.M. Tavira releases book Huir de la NADA on survival and grief

A 153-page paperback weighing 150 grams and measuring 15 centimeters by 22 centimeters marks the literary release of HUIR DE LA NADA. El arte de reconstruirse by A.M. Tavira, published by EGREGOR Ediciones under ISBN 979-13-993068-5-9. The book chronicles a life shaped by early displacement, military service, and a near-fatal 2019 cardiac arrest on an operating table.

Leaving Valdepeñas and Entering Military Service

A.M. Tavira left his native Valdepeñas at fourteen years old, confronting an unpredictable early life that eventually led him into the military. According to the publisher, the armed forces provided discipline, loyalty, and companionship alongside physical and mental rigor. Those formative years sparked an ongoing personal inquiry that later drove him across various countries and spiritual traditions in search of direct truth rather than inherited dogmas.

Subsequent years brought profound personal losses, illness, solitude, and romantic fractures. The author recounts surviving periods of severe personal crisis and internal conflict prior to the medical emergency that altered his perspective on consciousness and mortality.

Cardiac Arrest in the Operating Room

During a 2019 surgical procedure, Tavira’s heart stopped beating. The publisher notes that this near-death experience fundamentally shifted his outlook on existence and dying, serving as the primary catalyst for the new publication. Rather than offering structured formulas or happiness guides, the text addresses survival, grief, and self-reckoning.

The author states that he is not a guru and does not believe in magic formulas or recipes for happiness, emphasizing that he is someone who did not die trying and shares his experience.

The 153-page volume compiles reflections on fear, guilt, loneliness, and affection, steering clear of prescriptive advice in favor of examining unresolved personal questions.
