Reclaim Your Mind, Reclaim Your Life

Reclaim Your Mind, Reclaim Your Life

We are increasingly impatient and irritable. Do you find it harder to pay attention? Have you felt anxious lately? Do you tolerate boredom and pain less?

We live in the era of instant gratification, in the culture of immediacy and rewards, and we seek happiness at the click of a button. We lead a hectic and intense life, with "fast mode" activated. Without realizing it, we have become emotionally addicted, inundated with multiple distractions. All of this impacts our ability to pay attention to what's important, to delve deeper, and to concentrate.

The good news is that we can rescue lost attention, reconnect with ourselves and with all the wonderful things around us to find that emotional balance we so desire.

In this book, Dr. Marian Rojas Estapé, with her divulgative and scientific style, delves into these and other questions. She introduces you to dopamine, the pleasure hormone, and how it affects the search for immediate rewards that are commonplace, and the perception of pain, boredom, and discomfort.

Reclaim Your Mind, Reclaim Your Life helps you think about what behaviors you exhibit when you find yourself caught up in emotions you don't know how to manage, and it provides tools for you to understand yourself better, and thus regain control of your life.
