Theme:  Un lúcido repaso de las diversas inercias que nos autoimponemos, las modas y costumbres convertidas en tácita ley y que casi nunca ponemos en cuestión. / A lucid review of the different inertias we impose on ourselves, turning fashions and customs into unwritten laws, and that we almost never question.

Synopsis

¿Qué hace que nuestra sociedad sea como es? ¿En qué nos diferenciamos de las generaciones anteriores y por qué? Iñigo Martinez trata de describir los rasgos que caracterizan nuestra época, y para ello analiza y define los mandamientos que hemos asumido inconscientemente: viaja, no estés triste, se tú mismo, cuídate, no te comprometas sentimentalmente, sé feliz, busca lo más nuevo… Y así, hasta completar una lista de 19 mandamientos.


Este libro, denso a la vez que gratificante, nos ofrece una serie de reflexiones que nos hacen pensar y nos ayudan a mirar a nuestro mundo y a nosotros mismos con otros ojos, y nos invita a una vida mejor. /

What makes our society the way it is? How are we different from previous generations and why? Iñigo Martinez sets out to describe the traits that characterise our time, and to do this he analyses and defines the commandments we have subconsciously taken on board: travel, don’t be sad, know yourself, take care of yourself, avoid emotional commitments, be happy, look for the latest… and so on, making up a list of 19 commandments.


This book, at once profound and entertaining, provides a series of reflections to make us think and help us to look at our world and at ourselves with new eyes – and perhaps an invitation to try a better way of life.
