Overview
¿El amor es solo una enfermedad pasajera con excesivo prestigio social?
¿Hay alguna diferencia entre el amor romántico y la adicción toxicómana?
¿Son inevitables los celos?
¿Podemos elegir de quién nos enamoramos?
¿Existe espacio para el amor en el mundo moderno?
En una época en la que el romance parece algo efímero y las relaciones caen una y otra vez en la trampa del ciclo del enamoramiento y el desencanto, ¿cómo saber si hemos encontrado el amor verdadero o estamos atrapados en el subidón químico del enamoramiento?
La neurociencia y la psicología nos explican que, en la fase inicial del amor, nuestro cerebro se inunda de dopamina, llevándonos a una euforia similar a la de una droga. Sin embargo, persos estudios demuestran que esta "fiebre romántica" es tan adictiva como efímera. Pero ese amor pasional puede transformarse, podemos encontrar esa "persona milagro" con quien compartir la vida de manera significativa y profunda, pero eso requiere de un enfoque consciente y renovado. Tenemos que ir más allá de nuestras necesidades primitivas, reformular nuestras preguntas, dejar de deshojar la margarita y, en cambio, involucrar tanto al corazón como a la mente.
Un viaje por las emociones, la química del cerebro y las trampas del enamoramiento en el que descubrirás cómo el amor puede seguir siendo la respuesta, pero solo si sabemos cómo hacer las preguntas correctas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A fascinating essay by psychologist Luis Muiño, from the podcast “Entiende tu mente,” about how love works on brain chemistry and how to build smart and healthy relationships.
Is love nothing more than a fleeting disease with excessive social prestige?
Is there any difference between romantic love and a drug addiction?
Is jealousy inevitable?
Can we choose who we fall in love with?
Is there room for love in the modern world?
In a time when romance seems ephemerous and relationships fall over and over in a cyclical trap of infatuation and disillusionment, how could we possibly know if we have found true love, or we are trapped in the chemical rush of infatuation?
Neuroscience and psychology explain that, in the first stage of love, our brain gets flooded with dopamine, leading us to a euphoria similar to being drugged. However, these studies prove that “romantic fever” is as addictive as it is fleeting. But passional love can indeed transform; we are able to find that “miracle person” with whom to share our life with in a deep, significant way, but it requires a conscious and renewed approach. We must go beyond our primitive needs, rephrase our questions, stop plucking the daisy, and involve the heart as much as the mind.
A journey through emotions, brain chemistry, and the traps of infatuation, where you will learn how love can still be the answer, but only if you know how to ask the right questions.
