La vacuna contra las adicciones : Inmunología mental para una especie vulnerable

If we want to be free, why do we cling to that which constantly prevents us from achieving it? Can we do so in an addicted society? Can science and philosophy help us? José Antonio Marina dissects the phenomenon of addiction from its deepest roots in biology, culture, and psychology. Starting from a provocative premise—namely, that addictions are not a problem but a poor solution—he proposes a hopeful alternative: creating a mental vaccine that protects us against our natural tendency toward dependency. With scientific rigor, a philosophical perspective, and an educational vocation, the author guides us through an interdisciplinary journey in which he not only offers a revealing interpretation of our compulsive behaviors but also creates a transformative project: educating minds capable of resisting and choosing freely. In an increasingly clingy and demanding society, this book is an urgent breath of fresh air that calls us to wise prevention, giving us tools to understand our impulses and apply the necessary antidotes. An urgent work for an increasingly addictive society. A clear call for prevention, to regulate our impulses, understand what drives us to seek constant stimulation, and strengthen ourselves before dependency takes hold.
