Synopsis "Happycracia (in Spanish)"

Una vehemente denuncia de la industria de la felicidad y de la aparente legitimidad científica de la psicología positiva. La felicidad se ejercita, se enseña y se aprende: este es el mensaje que promueve la denominada ciencia de la felicidad. Según esta, bastaría con aplicar sus técnicas para ser más productivos, saludables y crecer como personas. Pero, ¿y si la felicidad no fuese más que una mercancía y su búsqueda se hubiera convertido en un estilo de vida obsesivo y consumista? ¿Y si la industria multimillonaria de la felicidad nos quiere hacer creer que podemos moldear nuestras vidas a voluntad, transformar nuestros sentimientos negativos y sacar el mejor partido de nosotros mismos? Edgar Cabanas y Eva Illouz describen con brillantez los orígenes, fundamentos y promesas de la ciencia y la industria de la felicidad, y exploran las implicaciones sociales y culturales de uno de los fenómenos más cautivadores e inquietantes de este principio de siglo.

Es un libro interesantísimos, claro, explicado de manera sencilla, de cómo nuestro cuerpo y mente se han convertido en productos consumibles, y en ese escenario, ocurre lo mismo con la felicidad, junto con la necesidad de crear consumidores siempre insatisfechos. Totalmente recomendable.

Eva Illouz es una de mis autoras favoritas. Creo que he leído todos sus libros y ensayos y siempre es perfecto lo que dice. Sin duda un libro que todo buscador de la verdad debe leer, o más que buscador de la verdad, un adicto al conocimiento y al pensamiento crítico.
