About the Book

We are increasingly impatient and irritable. Do you notice that it is harder for you to pay attention? Have you been feeling anxious lately? Do you tolerate boredom and pain worse? 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, and with fast mode activated. Without realizing it, we have become emotional drug addicts inundated with multiple distractions. All of this has an impact on our ability to pay attention to what is important, to go deeper and to concentrate. The good news is that we can rescue lost attention, reconnect with ourselves and with everything wonderful that surrounds us to find that emotional balance that we so long for. In this book, Dr. Marian Rojas Estaép, with her informative and scientific style, delves into these and other issues.

Recover your mind, recapture your life helps you think about what behaviors you show when you find yourself involved in emotions that you don't know how to manage and provides you with tools to understand yourself better, and thus regain control of your life.
