Sobre el amor: ¿Por qué el amor es amor? Las claves artísticas y psicológicas del sentimiento más universal
by Jonah LehrerEn Sobre el amor, Jonah Lehrer entreteje estudios científicos de psicología, análisis profundos sobre la salud y la felicidad, relatos históricos y personajes literarios, manuales sobre la crianza de los hijos y el lenguaje de las webs de citas para examinar en profundidad el impulso más misterioso e importante que determina y mueve nuestras vidas. El mito más peligroso sobre el amor es que resulta fácil, que nos dejamos llevar por el sentimiento y que a partir de ahí sigue su curso. Es posible medir la dopamina que generan los primeros síntomas de «enamoramiento», pero los vínculos afectivos y la entrega que duran décadas, o incluso más, continúan siendo un misterio. Este libro versa sobre ese misterio. El amor, sostiene Lehrer, no se cimienta únicamente en una pasión arrolladora, sino, y esto es lo más fascinante, en una serie de cualidades que deben cultivarse a lo largo de toda una vida. El amor nos confunde y determina, puede llegar a destruirnos y definirnos. Ha inspirado la poesía más sublime, ha configurado nuestras sociedades y creencias y gobierna nuestra biología. Desde el apego de los hijos a los padres, pasando por la manera en la que nos enamoramos de otra persona y por el amor que algunos profesan a su dios o a sus mascotas, hasta la manera en la que recordamos y lloramos el fin del amor, este libro se centra en un análisis que trata de abordarlo tanto en el largo plazo como en el día a día. ------- Hay dos leyes psicológicas que conforman gran parte de la experiencia humana y que existen por oposición entre sí. La primera ley es la costumbre. Cuando estamos expuestos repetidamente a un estímulo, poco a poco lo ignoramos. Por ejemplo, la ropa interior. ¿La sientes? ¿Eres consciente de que la llevas? La respuesta es no. La misma triste lógica se aplica a casi todos los placeres, desde el sabor del chocolate hasta el último artilugio de moda. El placer siempre desaparece, reemplazado por la indiferencia habitual. Pero la costumbre no lo arruina todo. Hay una segunda ley sobre la experiencia humana y se basa en lo que perdura. Entre tanto desvanecimiento hay placeres que persisten. Encontramos alegrías que nunca desaparecen. Conocemos gente que nunca se aburre. ¿Y que decimos acerca de estas cosas? Decimos que las amamos. "Amor" es otra forma de llamar a lo que nunca envejece. -------

Sobredosis de Cupcakes (Serie Cupcakes #2)
by Bethany LopezSalí con mis amigas para disfrutar de una muy necesaria noche de chicas, mientras me preguntaba si beber otro martini sucio me llevaría al límite. Lo siguiente que supe fue que estábamos en medio de una situación en la que ningún grupo de mujeres en su mayoría borrachas debería estar. Todo comenzó cuando Bea dijo que necesitaba ir al baño, lo que llevó a Amy May a decir que estaba a punto de estallar, y Carmen y yo decidimos que deberíamos ir todas para volver a la pista de baile lo antes posible. Fue nuestra suerte que desde el baño de atrás escucháramos a una mujer gritar: —No —y la voz de un hombre decirle—: Sé que lo quieres. Ese imbécil eligió el baño equivocado, en el club equivocado, en el momento equivocado. No sabía que era el vicepresidente de Cade. Y, aunque la salvamos de sus garras esa noche, un mes después, la encontrarían flotando en la piscina de un motel... lo que causaría el primer problema que Cade y yo tendríamos que enfrentar como pareja. Bueno, eso y Branson Braswell. ¿Quién hubiera pensado que extrañaría los días en que mi mayor problema era mi ex idiota e infiel? Dirigir una firma de IP era mucho más difícil que tomar fotos para uno, especialmente cuando tu vida profesional se desborda en la personal. Y salir con un macho alfa que montaba en motocicleta y se veía bien haciéndolo, no siempre era sol y rosas. Estaba comiendo tantos cupcakes como nuestro nuevo cachorro gastando tapetes absorbentes y si no tenía cuidado tendría una Sobredosis de Cupcakes.

Socrates' Daimonic Art
by Elizabeth S. BelfioreDespite increasing interest in the figure of Socrates and in love in ancient Greece, no recent monograph studies these topics in all four of Plato's dialogues on love and friendship. This book provides important new insights into these subjects by examining Plato's characterization of Socrates in Symposium, Phaedrus, Lysis and the often neglected Alcibiades I. It focuses on the specific ways in which the philosopher searches for wisdom together with his young interlocutors, using an art that is 'erotic', not in a narrowly sexual sense, but because it shares characteristics attributed to the daimon Eros in Symposium. In all four dialogues, Socrates' art enables him, like Eros, to search for the beauty and wisdom he recognizes that he lacks and to help others seek these same objects of erôs. Belfiore examines the dialogues as both philosophical and dramatic works, and considers many connections with Greek culture, including poetry and theater.
