Todos hemos escuchado la expresión “el poder del amor”. Sin embargo, en este libro Barbara Fredrickson le da un nuevo y más profundo significado a estas palabras. Para la autora, el amor es la clave para mejorar la salud mental y física, así como para alargar nuestra vida. Ello se desprende de sus investigaciones clínicas, las cuales muestran que el amor (entendido no como ese sentimiento arrebatado de raíz romántica, sino como los “momentos de conexión significativa entre las personas”) es capaz de producir resultados sorprendentes sobre nuestro cuerpo y nuestra psique.\nWe have all heard the expression "the power of love." However, in this book Barbara Fredrickson gives a new and deeper meaning to these words. For the author, love is the key to improving mental and physical health, as well as extending our lives. This emerges from their clinical investigations, which show that love (understood not as that feeling taken away from a romantic root, but as the “moments of significant connection between people”) is capable of producing surprising results on our body and our psyche.
