Una mirada compasiva y valiente a la forma en que nos hablamos en los momentos difíciles.


Seleccionado por The New York Times como uno de los mejores títulos del año. Finalista del National Book Critics Circle. Estremecedor, real y, al mismo tiempo, esperanzador. Un acercamiento lúcido y tremendamente original a los abismos de la mente humana.


Cuando Rachel Aviv tenía tan solo 6 años, sus padres recibieron un demoledor diagnóstico para su hija: era anoréxica. Rachel, quien ni siquiera sabía lo que significaba la palabra, descubrió que probablemente era la persona que había sido etiquetada con ese trastorno a una edad más temprana.


A partir de esa experiencia, esta prestigiosa y combativa periodista cuestiona el beneficio o el perjuicio del diagnóstico en salud mental y se sumerge en cuatro casos reales, cada uno más impactante y revelador, para repasar cómo las etiquetas han determinado las décadas más recientes de la psiquiatría en el mundo occidental.


El ensayo de Rachel Aviv recoge una investigación fascinante y minuciosa sobre los abusos de esta rama de la medicina en cualquiera de sus disciplinas, y también pone énfasis en la importancia del entorno y de los otros en el proceso de curación. Es, además, un canto a la esperanza de superación de los trastornos mentales.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


A compassionate and brave look at how we talk to ourselves during difficult times.


Selected by The New York Times as one of the best titles of the year. Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Stirring, real, and at the same time, hopeful. A lucid and tremendously original approach to the depths of the human mind.


When Rachel Aviv was just 6 years old, her parents received a devastating diagnosis for their daughter: she was anorexic. Rachel, who didn't even know what the word meant, discovered that she was probably the youngest person to be labeled with this disorder.


From that experience, this prestigious and combative journalist questions the benefit or harm of mental health diagnoses and delves into four real cases, each more impactful and revealing, to review how labels have determined recent decades of psychiatry in the Western world.


Rachel Aviv's essay presents a fascinating and thorough investigation into the abuses of this branch of medicine in any of its disciplines, and also emphasizes the importance of the environment and others in the healing process. It is, furthermore, a hymn to the hope of overcoming mental disorders.

oh wow
Format: Kindle
I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.
