Johann Hari Libros

La atención ha entrado en una profunda crisis. ¿Cuáles son los motivos?, ¿quién nos la está robando?, y, más importante aún, ¿cómo podemos recuperar nuestra capacidad de concentración? Un demoledor ensayo que indaga en una de las grandes epidemias del momento y en sus posibles soluciones. -- Según algunos de los últimos estudios publicados, los adolescentes solo son capaces de concentrarse en una tarea durante sesenta y cinco segundos, mientras que los adultos apenas pueden aguantar tres minutos. Como muchos de nosotros, Johann Hari es consciente del peligro que supone la omnipresencia de las pantallas, así como de esa imperiosa necesidad que nos asalta de pasar constantemente de un dispositivo a otro sin levantar la vista. Hoy en día, lograr el estado de concentración necesario para acometer labores intelectualmente complejas y exigentes es casi una quimera. -- Hari decidió entrevistar a los principales expertos en concentración humana para identificar las causas de esta crisis. En El valor de la atención desglosa los doce factores que la generaron -desde nuestra incapacidad de dejar fluir la mente hasta la contaminación en las ciudades-, y denuncia a las poderosas empresas que nos están robando el foco. Además, nos da las herramientas para entender la situación, defendernos y recuperar nuestra capacidad de vivir con atención.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Drugs are not what we think they are. Addiction is not what we think it is. And the war on drugs is not what we see on our TV screens. In Chasing the Scream, Johann Hari shares his discoveries through the riveting true stories he uncovered on a 30,000-mile journey - from the founder of the war on drugs who stalked and killed Billie Holiday, to a transgender crack dealer in Brooklyn, to the only country that has ever decriminalised all drugs, with remarkable results. You will never look at addiction - or our society - in the same way again.

A deeply personal, expertly researched investigation into the weight loss drugs revolutionising our approach to food from bestseller Johann Hari.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER'This amazing book will change your life' Elton John'Brilliant' Matt Haig'Wonderful' Hillary Clinton'A game-changer' Davina McCall'Brilliant for anyone wanting a better understanding of mental health' Zoe BallA radically new way of thinking about mental health. What really causes depression and anxiety - and how can we really solve them? Award-winning journalist Johann Hari suffered from depression since he was a child and started taking anti-depressants when he was a teenager. He was told that his problems were caused by a chemical imbalance in his brain. As an adult, trained in the social sciences, he began to investigate whether this was true - and he learned that almost everything we have been told about depression and anxiety is wrong. Across the world, Hari found social scientists who were uncovering evidence that depression and anxiety are largely caused by key problems with the way we live today. Hari ́s journey took him from a mind-blowing series of experiments in Baltimore, to an Amish community in Indiana, to an uprising in Berlin. Once he had uncovered nine real causes of depression and anxiety, they led him to scientists who are discovering seven very different solutions - ones that work.

What began as a personal journey soon took him on an international investigation, tackling some of the most world-changing issues as he asked: Who should be taking these medications?

Das erste Rätsel, vor dem ich stand, war: Wie konnte es sein, dass ich immer noch depressiv war, obwohl ich Antidepressiva nahm? Ich machte alles richtig – und doch lief etwas falsch. Warum? Das zweite Rätsel: Warum gibt es heute so viel mehr Menschen, die unter Depressionen und schweren Ängsten leiden? Was hat sich verändert? Da ging mir auf, dass noch ein drittes Rätsel über allem schwebte. Konnte es sein, dass etwas anderes, und nicht die Chemie in meinem Hirn, Depressionen und Ängste bei mir und so vielen anderen Menschen auslöste? Und wenn ja: Was konnte es sein? »Wenn Sie sich jemals niedergeschlagen oder verloren gefühlt haben, wird dieses Buch Ihr Leben ändern.« Elton John »Eine wunderbare und bestechende Analyse.« Hillary Clinton »Ein Buch, das viel über unsere innere Verzweiflung und unseren Lebenswandel verrät« Naomi Klein »Ein brillanter, anregender und radikaler Ansatz zur psychischen Gesundheit« Matt Haig »Mit seinem persönlichen Erfahrungsbericht und der gleichzeitigen Gesellschaftsanalyse trifft Johann Hari den Nerv unserer Zeit.« psychologie. neuropraxis
