Cómo salvar una mala racha

A catastrophic visit to Ikea where nothing happens as planned, a blind date fails due to several incompatibilities, a mother panics when she discovers that her son is in his teens and does not know what to do with him... Different everyday situations that They can confuse us and make us think that we are having a bad streak. What do we have to do to avoid panicking or to avoid crying? What if we invited Plato, Spinoza, Nietzsche or Wittgenstein to talk about these issues? What would Kant have answered to a breakup message? Would Aristotle have had another vodka? What would Epicurus tell us about our anxieties? What would Spinoza do at Ikea? Philosophers finally come out of libraries to help us react with humor to all the surprises of life. This original and curious book recreates twelve crisis situations and twelve philosophers capable of reassuring us and helping us to de-dramatize. It is about moments that escape us, those minutes of chaos in which everything falters; those moments that lead us to anger, tears, guilt, misunderstanding, shame... How can we not seek an answer in words or ideas that have survived throughout the centuries?
