Cómo recuperar la alegría : Reflexiones neurobiológicas y espirituales

Sadness, anxiety, distraction, a loss of meaning, and a sense of emptiness have become characteristic phenomena of our time. But what is really happening? Alfred Sonnenfeld addresses this question from an original perspective that integrates neuroscience, philosophy, and humanist tradition. Throughout these pages, he analyzes how the “silent epidemic” of digital hyperconnectivity, the attention crisis, fear, loneliness, and the weakening of human bonds are transforming the way we live and understand ourselves. With scientific rigor and humanistic sensitivity, this essay shows how the brain’s extraordinary capacity to change and regenerate always keeps open a crucial possibility: that of recovering the profound joy that gives meaning, drive, and fulfillment to life.
