El peligro de estar cuerda
Rosa Montero · 2022
Una apasionada defensa del valor de ser diferente.<br/>Partiendo de su experiencia personal y de la lectura de numerosos libros de psicología, neurociencia, literatura y memorias de grandes autores de distintas disciplinas creativas, Rosa Montero nos ofrece un estudio apasionante sobre los vínculos entre la creatividad y la inestabilidad mental. Y lo hace compartiendo con el lector numerosas curiosidades asombrosas sobre cómo funciona nuestro cerebro al crear, desmenuzando todos los aspectos que influyen en la creatividad, y montándolos ante los ojos del lector mientras escribe, como un detective dispuesto a resolver las piezas dispersas de una investigación.<br/>Ensayo y ficción se dan la mano en esta exploración sobre los vínculos entre la creatividad y la locura, y así el lector asistirá en directo al mismo proceso de la creación, descubrirá la teoría de "la tormenta perfecta", esto es, que en el estallido creativo confluyen una serie de factores irrepetibles, químicos y situacionales, y compartirá la experiencia personal de cómo Rosa Montero vivió en directo, y durante años, muy cerca de la locura.<br/>El peligro de estar cuerda habla de que "las hadas" nos dan un don, y nos hacen pagar un precio por él; los normales no pagamos ese duro precio, pero corremos el riesgo de morir de tedio, en lugar de morir de amor. «Como en todo, la clave está en el equilibrio entre el porcentaje de desapego y el de sentimiento, en lograr cierta armonía entre el yo que sufre y el yo que controla», dice la propia autora.

<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i></b><b> BESTSELLER</b><br> <br><b>“If you</b>’<b>re looking for a book to take on holiday this summer, <i>The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo</i> has got all the glitz and glamour to make it a perfect beach read.” —<i>Bustle</i></b><br> <br><b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Daisy Jones & the Six</i>—an entrancing and “wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet” (<i>PopSugar</i>) as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.</b><br><br>Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?<br> <br>Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.<br> <br>Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love.
