Aqu un extracto de Estoicismo y dureza mental
Durante la antig edad surgieron un alto n mero de escuelas filos ficas, muchas de ellas aportaron grandes ideas de progresos para la humanidad de impacto tan relevante que aun en la actualidad muchos de esos pensamientos siguen vigentes, tal es el caso de la escuela de filosof a estoica, esta que se crey desaparecida para los primeros siglos de la era presente, y pese a la realidad, que los registros literarios no son en cuant a, su pensamiento ha evolucionado con el paso de los a os, y en pleno siglo XXI se est viviendo uno de los momentos m s importantes del posible resurgimiento de esta sistema filos fico.
En medio de la convulsi n social que estamos atravesando en el mundo moderno, muchos han recurrido a ciertas escuelas de pensamientos cuyas teor as podr an generar la salvaci n que nuestra sociedad moderna requiere, por cierto, el estoicismo, cuyo valor principal para una sociedad como la moderna es el manejo adecuado de las emociones, o igualmente dicho, las pasiones (ya que esta escuela habla de una como consecuencia de la otra) resulta ser, seg n la ptica de muchos necesaria, o m s aun para algunos imprescindible.
Conozcamos un poco sobre esta escuela, su evoluci n y sus postulados, luego confront moslo con la realidad de una sociedad como la moderna, a trav s de esto podremos enfocar nuestras vidas para cambiar el rumbo que pareciera ineludible en tiempos como los modernos.
Al aplicar el estoicismo en nuestros tiempos, estaremos adquiriendo unas herramientas maravillosas para enfrentar una modernidad cuya caracter stica principal ha sido un funcionamiento por medio de las emociones, de manera que las pasiones desenfrenadas son hoy por hoy las que gobiernan nuestras vidas, el estoicismo es justamente eso, autocontrol, desarrollo personal, armon a con la naturaleza, armon a con el universo, pero todo desde un sentido estrictamente l gico.
Al dejar de actuar basado en nuestras pasiones podremos crear el enfoque preciso para lograr metas y caminar de manera firme y segura rumbo hacia la superaci n d a a d a, una meta clara y objetiva ser siempre enfocarnos d a tras d as para lograr objetivos puntuales que se puedan traducir de alguna manera en auto realizaci n.
Y esto c mo se lograra? Bien, la estructura de la filosof a estoica nos ense ar como enfrentar la vida en esas situaciones que realmente est n fuera de nuestro alcance individual, debemos aceptar como realidad inquebrantable que no somos todopoderosos, y muchas de las cosas que queremos solucionar de la vida est n fuera de nuestro alcance y lejos de nuestro dominio.

This book can help people with mental health issues to survive and return to a normal life. Citizens believe, and the science shows, that medications for depression and psychosis and admission to a psychiatric ward are more often harmful than beneficial. Yet most patients take psychiatric drugs for years. Doctors have made hundreds of millions of patients dependent on psychiatric drugs without knowing how to help them taper off the drugs safely, which can be very difficult. The book explains in detail how harmful psychiatric drugs are and gives detailed advice about how to come off them.
You will learn:
Peter G tzsche's new book meets patients' need to get tools on how to deal with psychoactive drugs and, above all, not to start them. G tzsche is very clear about the role of GPs in medicalizing grief, misfortune, opposition, and bad luck. -- Dick Bijl, former GP, epidemiologist, and current president of the International Society of Drug Bulletins.
Peter G tzsche has written a very personal account of his battle to get the institution of psychiatry to accept that its drugs are not the 'magic pills' they are made out to be. Every medical practitioner who prescribes them, and every person who takes them, should read this book and be warned. -- Niall McLaren, author of Anxiety: The Inside Story
Peter G tzsche wrote this book to help people with mental health problems survive and return to a normal life. His book explains in detail how psychiatric drugs are harmful and people are told how they can safely withdraw from them. -- Fernando Freitas, PhD, Psychologist, National School of Public Health (ENSP/FIOCRUZ).
