Review in English down below

Me decepcionó. Sí hay cositas interesantes sobre cerebro y los procesos químicos en él, pero en conjunto — es un otro libro de mierda de autoayuda que te va a decir que si quieres ser feliz — sea feliz, al borde de positivismo tóxico.

No me gustó también la contradicción narrativa — en un capítulo la psicóloga quiere que no pienses sobre las cosas malas en tu vida y trates ser feliz, y en el otro — dice que nunca ignores esas cosas, porque las tienes que identificar y admitir/trabajar en ti mismo.

Marica, ¡ya lo sé! Dame si no consejos, al menos ejercicios que me puedan ayudar (y no, la respiración controlada no vale).

Pinche Sherlock, gracias, supongo.

———————————————

Disappointing. There are interesting tidbits about the brain and the chemical processes in it, but all in all — it's just another shitty self-help book that's going to tell you if you want to be happy — be happy, almost verging on toxic positivity.

I also didn't like the narrative contradiction — in one chapter the psychologist wants you to not think about the bad things in your life and try to be happy, and in the other — she advises never ignore those things, because you have to identify them and admit/work on yourself.

Dude, I know! Give me if not advice that can help me, at least exercises (and no, controlled breathing is not worth it).

Thanks Sherlock, I guess.
