Overview
Una invitación a recuperar algo que nunca debimos perder: la fuerza de una tribu de mujeres que se acompaña, se comprende y se sostiene. Un libro para todas las que anhelan volver a sentirse parte de esa red.
En una aldea remota, cuando una mujer enfermaba, no se le daba una medicina, se le daba una cuchara tallada por otras mujeres de la tribu y se le decía, «Hoy no cocinas tú. Hoy te alimentamos nosotras».
Pero un día la cuchara se perdió y, sin ella, las mujeres empezaron a dejar sus necesidades al último, a compararse, a competir, a hacerlo todo sin ayuda, a hablar a través de una pantalla. Nunca se habían sentido tan cansadas, insuficientes y solas.
Como no podían seguir así, se reunieron y juntas buscaron en su interior. En lo profundo, encontraron la fuerza de las redes entre mujeres y se prometieron recuperarla. Así surgieron las tribanas: mujeres que se eligen unas a otras.
En este libro, la psicóloga Olga González nos muestra —con un estilo cálido, historias conmovedoras y evidencia científica— el impacto que tienen la amistad, la pertenencia y las redes de apoyo en nuestra salud, nuestra alegría cotidiana e incluso en nuestra longevidad.
Más que un libro, Tribanas es un movimiento, un llamado a priorizar la amistad entre las mujeres. En una sociedad hiperindividualista, acelerada y artificial, volver a encontrarnos, cuidarnos y elegirnos unas a otras es un acto de resistencia, de amor propio y de autoconservación. Llegó el momento de tallar esa cuchara de nuevo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An invitation to reclaim something we were never meant to lose: the strength of a tribe of women who support, understand, and uplift one another. A book for every woman who longs to feel connected to that circle once again.
In a remote village, when a woman fell ill, she was not given medicine, she was given a spoon carved by other women of the tribe, and told, “You won’t be cooking today. Today, we’ll feed you.”
But one day, the spoon went missing, and without it, the women began to put their own needs last, to compare themselves to others, to compete, to do everything without help, to communicate through a screen. They had never felt so tired, inadequate, and alone.
Since they couldn’t go on like this, they gathered and together looked within themselves. Deep down, they found the strength of women’s networks, and they promised to reclaim it. That’s how the “tribanas” emerged: women who choose one another.
In this book, psychologist Olga González shows us—with a warm style, moving stories, and scientific evidence—the impact that friendship, a sense of belonging, and support networks have on our health, our daily joy, and even our longevity.
More than just a book, Tribanas is a movement, a call to prioritize friendship among women. In a hyper-individualistic, fast-paced, and artificial society, reconnecting with one another, caring for one another, and choosing one another is an act of resistance, self-love, and self-preservation. The time has come to carve that spoon anew.
