Paperback. Condizione: New. "A comically committed exploration of current life-hacking wisdom in areas ranging from athletic and intellectual prowess to spirituality, creativity, wealth, and pleasure." -The New YorkerIn these pages, the authors of the widely-acclaimed Wellness Syndrome throw themselves headlong into the techniques of self-optimization, a burgeoning movement that seeks to transcend the limits placed on us as mere humans, whether the feebleness of our bodies or our mental incapacities.Cederstrom and Spicer, devoted each month of a roller coaster year to a different way of improving themselves: January was Productivity, February their bodies, March their brains. June was for sex and September for money. Perhaps the trickiest was April, a month devoted to relationships, when their feelings for each other came under the microscope, with results that were both hilarious and painful. Carl thought Andre was only "dialing it in," Andre felt Carl was too controlling.In fact, both proved themselves willing guinea pigs in an extraordinary (and sometimes downright dangerous) range of techniques and technologies, had hitherto undertaken little by way of self-improvement. They had rarely seen the inside of a gym, let alone utilized apps that deliver electric shocks in pursuit of improved concentration. They wore head-bands designed to optimize sleep, and attempted to boost their memory through learning associative techniques (failing to be admitted to MENSA bit learning pi to 1,000 digits), trained for weightlifting competitions, wrote what they (still) hope might become a bestselling Scandinavian detective story, attended motivational seminars and tantra workshops, went on new-age retreats and man-camps, and experimented with sex toys and productivity drugs. Andre even addressed a London subway car whilst (nearly) naked in an attempt to overcome a negative body image. Somewhat surprisingly, the two young professors survived this year of rigorous research. Further, they produced a hilarious and eye-opening book based upon it. Written in the form of two parallel diaries, Desperately Seeking Self-Improvement provides a biting analysis of the narcissism and individual competitiveness that increasingly pervades a culture in which social solutions are receding and individual self-improvement is the only option left.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Not exercising as much as you should? Counting your calories in your sleep? Feeling ashamed for not being happier? You may be a victim of the wellness syndrome. In this ground-breaking new book, Carl Cederström and André Spicer argue that the ever-present pressure to maximize our wellness has started to work against us, making us feel worse and provoking us to withdraw into ourselves. The Wellness Syndrome follows health freaks who go to extremes to find the perfect diet, corporate athletes who start the day with a dance party, and the self-trackers who monitor everything, including their own toilet habits. This is a world where feeling good has become indistinguishable from being good. Visions of social change have been reduced to dreams of individual transformation, political debate has been replaced by insipid moralising, and scientific evidence has been traded for new-age delusions. A lively and humorous diagnosis of the cult of wellness, this book is an indispensable guide for everyone suspicious of our relentless quest to be happier and healthier.…

Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿Haces ejercicio? ¿Cuentas las calorías mientras duermes? ¿Te sientes avergonzado por no ser más feliz? Quizá seas víctima del «síndrome del bienestar». ¿Por qué cuanto más te esfuerzas por ser feliz, peor te sientes? Día tras día te levantas con la intención de comer sano, meditar, hacer ejercicio y dar lo mejor de ti en el trabajo. Y, sin embargo, algo falla. En lugar de liberación sientes culpa, ansiedad y esa eterna sospecha de que por mucho que lo intentes jamás serás lo bastante bueno. Quizá seas víctima del «síndrome del bienestar». En este ensayo incisivo y bienhumorado, Carl Cederström y André Spicer desentrañan cómo la obsesión contemporánea por la salud, la felicidad y el rendimiento personal se ha convertido en un imperativo moral. Para ello, siguen a fanáticos de la dieta perfecta, a ejecutivos que comienzan el día con bailes atléticos, a obsesos que lo monitorizan todo (incluida la frecuencia con que van al baño), y a gurús de la autoayuda para los que «sentirse bien» se ha vuelto indistinguible de «ser bueno». El resultado es un mundo en el que la esperanza de un cambio social se ha reducido a un conjunto de sueños de transformación individual, el debate político ha sido sustituido por un moralismo ensimismado y la evidencia científica se ha visto suplantada por delirios new age. Admirado por pensadores como Mark Fisher, Eva Illouz o Simon Critchley, este libro es una guía indispensable para todos aquellos que desconfían de nuestra frenética búsqueda de la felicidad y la salud. «En lugar de obcecarnos eternamente en nuestra enfermedad, haríamos mejor en fijarnos en las enfermedades que sufre el mundo y en responder ante ellas. » Carl Cederström y André Spicer La crítica ha dicho. . . «Un análisis mordaz e ingenioso sobre cómo funciona la ideología hoy en día. » Mark Fisher «Con una impresionante recopilación de pruebas, este libro arroja una luz muy necesaria sobre la nueva tiranía ejercida por los imperativos culturales de la salud y la felicidad. » Eva Illouz «Un ensayo maravilloso que expone la ideología del bienestar tal y como es: una estúpida y espantosa fantasía de autodominio. » Simon Critchley *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
