¿Quién Decide Por Ti Cuando Decides Tú? / Who Decides for You When It Is Up to You? [Spanish]

By Domm Cobb and Pedro Jara

Book Overview

Gu?a de psicolog?a ilustrada para conducir bien tu vida.

Qui?n lleva el tim?n de tu vida? La ilustradora Domm Cobb y el psic?logo Pedro Jara te lo cuentan en este libro que inaugura un nuevo g?nero literario: la psicolog?a ilustrada.

Peque?as o grandes, conscientes o inconscientes, los seres humanos nos pasamos la vida tomando decisiones, pero hasta qu? punto decidimos con verdadera libertad y autonom?a? De d?nde sale aquello que t?, de forma casi autom?tica, consideras «verdad ? Aunque no te des ni cuenta, las voces, discursos, im?genes, mensajes, aprendizajes, tradiciones e inercias que nos rodean y que aprendimos e imitamos constantemente, tienen mucho que ver con los caminos que eliges. As? que, c?mo decidir por ti mismo cuando tal vez no sepas qui?n eres en realidad t? mismo?

El psic?logo Pedro Jara y la vi?etista y creativa Dommcobb se unen para crear un libro verdaderamente pionero y original que inaugura un g?nero: la psicolog?a ilustrada. Una combinaci?n de texto y vi?etas, seriedad y humor, reflexi?n e iron?a, para ayudarte a ti, lector, a tomar, de manera aut?ntica y real, las riendas de tu vida.

«Somos cerebros emocionales con muchos mecanismos evolutivos desfasados respecto a los retos y modos de vida de hoy en d?a. La propensi?n al autoenga?o y a la ficci?n no es solo una caracter?stica muy humana, sino que es, de hecho, lo que esencialmente diferencia a los humanos de los dem?s hom?nidos, la caracter?stica que mejor nos define.

«Pero ser conscientes de todo ello es un primer gran paso. (...) Cultivar la conciencia y el autoconocimiento es la ?nica medicina posible. No obstante, aplicarla es m?s complicado de lo que parece, porque tambi?n podemos tomar muchas decisiones y acceder a mucha informaci?n que nos encamina a una verdadera ilusi?n ingenua de conciencia y autoconocimiento, es decir, a un falso autoconocimiento. Nuestras distorsiones y limitaciones mentales tambi?n act?an cuando nos enfocamos en combatir nuestras distorsiones y limitaciones. No desesperemos! Saber lo poco que sabemos es un primer gran paso y un acto de sabidur?a .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Who is at the helm of your life? Illustrator Domm Cobb and psychologist Pedro Jara explore this idea in a book that inaugurates a new literary genre: illustrated psychology.

Whether they may be big or small, conscious or unconscious, we human beings spend our entire life making decisions. But to what extent do we actually decide with real freedom and autonomy? Where does that which you, almost automatically, consider to be "true" come from? Even without you knowing, the voices, statements, images, messages, lessons, traditions, and trends around you, including those you learn and imitate constantly, have a lot to do with the paths you choose. So, how can you choose for yourself if possibly you don't know who you truly are?

Psychologist Pedro Jara and creator Domm Cobb join forces to create an original and absolutely pioneering book that launches the genre of illustrated psychology. It is a combination of words and drawings, seriousness and humor, reflections and irony, to help you, reader, take the reins of your life in a real and authentic way.

"We are emotional brains with many evolutionary mechanisms that are obsolete regarding the current way of life and the challenges we encounter today. Our proclivity to self-delusion and fiction is not only a very human trait, but it is in fact what differentiates humans from all other hominids, the trait that best defines us.

"But being aware of it all is one great first step [...] Cultivating consciousness and self-awareness is the only possible medicine. However, implementing them is more complicated than it seems, since we can also make many decisions and access a great deal of information leading to a truly naive illusion of consciousness and self-knowledge--namely, a false self-awareness. Our mental distortions and limitations act up when we focus on fighting those very distortions and limitations. But don't despair! Learning how little we know is a great first step and an act of wisdom."
