A weird book, to put it that way. I could actually recommend this book, with a few disclaimers, but the grade fell down to - whether I would read this book again. And I don't feel as I will.

un lungo monologo senza personaggi, storie, idee; soltanto aneddoti giovanili nella prima parte decisamente patetici, funzionali solo all'autocelebrazione dell'autore, mentre nella seconda parte "elenco della spesa" di "cure" e qualche vaneggiamento filosofico privo di consistenza e interesse. supponente nella narrazione, didascalico racconto, fastidioso nei contenuti.

POR FIN!!! Un pinchi acto más de psicomágia y me aviento del avión. Que libro tan pesado! Empieza bien y luego se vuelve tan repetitivo y cansado que se hace casi imposible de leer.
Me he tardado mas tiempo del acostumbrado en terminar este libro, no me atrajo lo suficiente, creo que el 30% de el ya estaba escrito en su otro libro «Psicomagia».

“No sé adonde voy, pero sé con quién voy.
No sé dónde estoy, pero sé que estoy en mi.
No sé qué es Dios, pero Dios sabe lo que soy.
No sé lo que es el mundo, pero sé que es mio.
No sé lo que valgo, pero sé no compararme.
No sé lo que es el amor, pero sé que gozo tu existencia.
No puedo evitar los golpes, pero sé como resistirlos.
No puedo negar la violencia, pero puedo negar la crueldad.
No puedo cambiar al mundo, pero puedo cambiarme a mi mismo.
No sé lo que hago, pero sé que lo que hago me hace.
No sé quién soy, pero sé que soy el que no sabe.”

“The worst grotesque situations: believing one knows oneself, believing one knows everything about some topic, believing one has judged with absolute impartiality, believing one will love and be loved forever. In conversation, people think one thing and, in trying to communicate it, say something else. The interlocutor hears one thing, but understands something different. When answering, one does not respond to what the other person initially thought, nor to what the other person said, but to what one has understood. The final result: a conversation between deaf people who do not even know how to listen to themselves.”
