A work that shows us that our perception of reality is limited, explains how the brain works and proposes a path to change our perspective and find happiness. . The author interweaves anecdotes from his own life, scientific experiments and references to well-known figures and popular culture. Can we reeducate the brain to be happier and live fully?

We live surrounded by a huge amount of information and only a small part (around 5%) reaches our consciousness. When we understand how the body generates thoughts and reality, we can influence the system to replace fear, deep-rooted mental images and automatic response mechanisms with non-linear thinking, happiness and confidence in life, which always It is there to provide us with what we need. From a perspective that is as educational as it is fun, David del Rosario, researcher and scientific disseminator, turns neuroscience into a tool for transformation, one hundred percent applicable on a daily basis. A fascinating journey, from the atom to the stars, that will revolutionize your way of living and understanding the world.
Our reviews
Source: RTVE
The book that your brain doesn't want to read was published in March 2019, and many years have passed before you can get an idea about what you are going to find. As? Through the opinions and reviews of other readers.
Of course, we must warn you that They are very diverse, from those who loved it to others who call it too light in its examples (especially) and in the theory of the book itself. Many of the problems with this book are the examples related to politics, which makes one intuit the author's political orientation and, therefore, may not agree with yours.
We leave you some of those opinions:
«Good book, enjoyable, but it felt somewhat bittersweet because it did not delve into some topics. Likewise, we thank the author for his way of narrating, which makes it very easy to read.
«A very interesting book to understand our daily functioning and the physiological bases that support the fact that it is a dysfunctional way of proceeding. Highly recommended.
«I bought the book because I had already read the other one that he wrote later with Sergi Torres and it fascinated me so I read this one to see.
I had high expectations and when I started reading it I found it interesting but little more. It is true that as you progress it gets more and more interesting.
I love the humor with which he tells things and for those who need a scientific point of how we function in our daily lives, this book is great. I find the examples of tests that have been done with the brain fascinating.
It especially opened my eyes to the fact that it is our brain that thinks and it is not us. It gives a lot of peace to know that you don't have to fight with your mind anymore.
In short, I recommend it. This and the next «The Biology of the Present»».
«What can you expect from a 'scientist', capable of writing this tendentious phrase:»Everything we see and experience in this world are small sections that are part of a great chain reaction, from the 835 accused PP militants known to today to María Teresa de Calcutta, passing through a business, the Pride festival or weapons of mass destruction.»
Why not put the number of PSOE CONVICTED in the ERE case, the largest corruption plot in Spain and all of Europe, for example?
Up to here I can read..."
«Uncoordinated, fleeting and unfounded ideas. You don't know if he wants to talk about the origin of life, cultural diversity or the immensity of the universe. The best thing is when he tries to be “funny – creative”…that's when he nails it.
There are serious options from good psychiatrists and even spirituality books that really show how to achieve a balance between the outside world and how we interpret it, avoiding turning to our "subjective/imaginary/pernicious" interpretations.
I think this guy wanted to fill his 'void' by reveling in his knowledge of general culture."
«I expected much more from a book with such a good score, it is difficult to read, not because of its complexity but because of the writer's way of rambling.
A lot of straw, if you remove it you are left with 5 pages.
However it has some good and simple ideas.
There are too many comparisons (so to speak) that denote the author's orientations, in my opinion in a book like this THERE ARE EXTRA MORE.
