Soon U-boat packs were sent to operate in South African waters, to deadly effect.

Why do employers judge candidates on the first impression they make, even though they know it’s wrong and often misleading? Why do people smoke, drink to excess, and eat things they know are bad for them? How do normally intelligent people wind up believing fake news stories?

La idea fuerza de este libro parte de una frase de Buda: “El dolor es inevitable pero el sufrimiento es optativo”. Para transformar el sufrimiento en bienestar, Daniel López Rosetti propone gestionar la realidad a través de la sociabilización, a la que llama “modo sociable”, en lugar de “modo lucha”.
