Overview
Dariel Ventura, actor y psicólogo, formula preguntas incómodas para hacernos la vida un poco más fácil
¿Estamos todos malitos de la conducta? ¿Quién está diagnosticado del trastorno mental más de moda? ¿Son las ciencias del comportamiento un nuevo horóscopo donde términos como narcisista, apego ansioso, persona depresiva o altamente sensible han sustituido a los signos tradicionales? ¿Nos dirigimos a un futuro en el que los seres humanos dejaremos de ser organismos con posibilidad de cambio y nos convertiremos en etiquetas?
De ese futuro solo puede salvarnos nuestra capacidad de pensar.
En este libro, estimado pensador, es un análisis científico y profesional de los consecuentes de ese futuro de etiquetas y una guía de cómo corregirlo, en caso de que la distopía se convierta en realidad.
