¿Sabía que, químicamente, un cerebro enamorado es lo más parecido a un cerebro adicto? Descubra qué hay detrás de un sentimiento tan intenso como el amor.Cuando Cupido ha estampado su flechazo bioquímico en los corazones de los futuros amantes, un preparado de neurotransmisores ingresa en el torrente sanguineo. Desde esos primeros momentos, la confluencia de factores emocionales, cognitivos, socioculturales, inmunitarios, endocrinos y nerviosos fundamenta el acto de la conquista.Pero, ¿para que nos enamoramos?, ¿que fuerza interior nos impulsa a mirar a una persona y no a otra? Ese instante marca el inicio de la conquista amorosa, donde la seduccion es la herramienta principal. No existen formulas precisas ni calculos que determinen por que dos personas se sienten irresistiblemente atraidas.El deseo, la idealizacion y la pasion surgen sin previo aviso. Este juego no es ingenuo: la idealizacion actua como un filtro que resalta virtudes y minimiza defectos. Pero este hechizo no es eterno. Con el tiempo, la realidad se impone, revelando la verdadera esencia de cada uno. Surge asi una pregunta: ¿por que necesitamos idealizar en la fase inicial del amor?

La manera de relacionarnos ha cambiado profundamente de los sonidos guturales y los grupos tribales a las conexiones virtuales y las redes sociales, de las cuevas del Paleolítico a los rascacielos de las metropolis, de los neandertales a los neoliberales. Esta obra es un hibrido: sorprendera con matices nuevos a profesionales de la salud mental y, asimismo, entusiasmara al publico general porque podra entender mejor la mente propia y ajena, los vinculos que nos unen y los abismos que nos separan.Arturo Ezquerro y Maria Cañete expanden la teoria del apego hacia las dinamicas de grupo, en la familia y la sociedad. Su mirada es innovadora y comprometida con el cambio social. Para ello, abordan un tema muy actual: los estados de animo en un sentido amplio, incluyendo los mas sensibles (identidades sexuales y de genero), los mas dañinos y temibles (violencia sexual infantil), los mas cambiantes y abruptos (trastorno bipolar), los mas tragicos (suicidio) y los mas bellos (amor y pasion por la vida).Este libro atesora un gran valor educativo: con un lenguaje elegante, claro y cercano, te ayudara a comprender mejor las complejidades de tu mente y de otras mentes, de tus estados de animo y como regularlos mediante vinculos de apego sano, tanto en tu familia como en la sociedad. Leelo por placer, para crecer como persona, y para construir comunidades menos violentas, mas empaticas y solidarias.

First published in 1621 under the persona "Democritus Junior," The Anatomy of Melancholy is an encyclopedic inquiry into sadness that ranges across medicine, philosophy, theology, and poetry. Organized into learned partitions on causes, symptoms, and cures, it surveys humoral physiology, lovesickness, religious despair, and civic malaise, proposing regimens of diet, exercise, music, friendship, and physic. Burtons baroque, digressive prose, thick with classical citations and sly satire, embodies the early modern commonplace tradition, turning marginalia into method and making the book a polyphonic laboratory of the mind. Robert Burton, an Oxford scholar and cleric, lived amid the libraries and debates of early Stuart England, where scholarship, medicine, and theology interpenetrated. Afflicted, by his own account, with recurring melancholy, he read voraciously and revised the work through multiple expanded editions. His erudition, pastoral experience, and self-experimentation converge to produce a study that is at once clinical, moral, and comic. Readers of intellectual history, literature, or psychology will find in Burton a companionable guide whose wit and compassion remain startlingly modern. Approach this book for its learned consolations, its taxonomy of sorrow, and its exuberant style; stay for the sense that, across centuries, the anatomy it dissects is recognizably our own.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Animal Intelligence: Experimental Studies replaces anecdote with controlled trials, charting how cats, chicks, dogs, and fish escape puzzle boxes and mazes. Using timed learning curves, Thorndike formulates the law of effect and law of exercise, arguing for trial-and-error stamping-in over insight or imitation. Its spare, tabular prose helped found comparative psychology, tempering Romaness anthropomorphism and anticipating behaviorist method. Trained with William James and awarded his doctorate under J. McKeen Cattell at Columbia, Thorndike brought an educators passion for measurement to animal study. Frustrated by anecdotal natural history and seeking general laws usable in classrooms, he devised cue-minimizing puzzle boxes and insisted on samples, controls, and objective recordsan early expression of his connectionism, in which stimulusresponse bonds strengthen or weaken with consequences. This classic remains methodologically bracing and conceptually fertile for readers in psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and education. As both historical touchstone and primer in experimental design, Animal Intelligence rewards anyone curious how robust laws emerge from simple apparatus and careful records. Highly recommended to scholars of learning and practitioners of evidence-based training.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Laura Richmond had no idea that childbirth could result in post-traumatic stress until she experienced it for herself. After a harrowing labour, she was admitted to a psychiatric mother and baby unit together with her six-week-old son.

She was increasingly desperate, until the birth of her son sparked a sequence of events that would change everything.Laura retraces her steps through all of this.
