More Description

Inspired by the philosophy of Victor Hugo, the poetry of Rubén Darío, the rich and daring thoughts of Jorge Luis Borges, and the search for the meaning of life as a primary motivation proposed by Dr. Viktor Frankl, Austrian neurologist, and psychiatrist, founder of logotherapy; the poetic pictorial mixture of the sublime feminine poetry in the indigenous oil paintings embroidered by Mayra Cortés, with the verses of fire and life of Alfonsina Storni, Gabriela Mistral, Juana de Ibarbourou, Delmira Agustini, and Teresa Wilms Montt to create something new. A quintessence of art, psychology, music, deep reflections, how to renew and rebuild a new personality, based on the JOEL mentality and the Japanese IKAGI philosophy. Throughout twelve chapters I have described the struggle between the life drive (Eros) and the death drive (Thanatos). Amid a chaotic pandemic and a crazy world, there is time for mature love. Discover different realities while reading this book, discover new and complex personal situations in fictional or real characters; and how to psychoanalyze them to increase self-esteem, prevent femicide, psychological violence, and achieve a harmonious balance in relationships according to the knowledge of Robert Stenberg with his triangular theory of love, the five stages of love of Jed Diamond and the identification of toxic relationships described by Walter Riso; plus Romy Kate's five basic requirements for understanding and living mature love and overcoming the traumas of the great failed romances in the European cinema of the sixties and seventies; such as Alain Delon and Romy Schneider or Marcelo Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve. In short, it is an an eternal struggle between good and evil, where love and life always win when we are prepared to exercise our intelligence and emotional sovereignty.
