2000DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO. LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Un libro composto a più voci, che cerca di affrontare il tema della felicità liberandolo dalle manifestazioni New Age e anche dalle lamentele dei professionisti dei disastri. La felicità come possibile, come impegno e immaginazione. Due saggi dei curatori affrontano l'analisi uno dal punto di vista storico e l'altro dal punto di vista sociologico. Seguono quattro scritti, tre molto personali, e chiude la riflessione di una psicologa, Flavia Flacco, che affronta il tema del pensare positivo a tutti i costi come pericoloso sintomo di rimozione e di paura. In principio la felicità era un sentimento privato, come la tristezza o la malinconia. Oggi, invece, sembra quasi una costrizione pubblica. Dalla propaganda New Age agli spot televisivi, dalle pubblicazioni di manuali che pretendono di insegnare come essere o vivere felici ai film di una comicità accomodante ed epidermica, un trionfale irritante edonismo impone dappertutto le sue regole, allontanando i dolori, nascondendo in angoli appartati le magagne quotidiane dell'esistenza. E' un modo superficiale di affrontare la vita, cui questi saggi invitano a opporsi, non per cedere nell'eccesso opposto di visioni apocalittiche o di lamentele passatiste, ma per riflettere sulle assurde procedure che spostano meditazioni profondamente individuali e soggettive verso atteggiamenti codificati. Se la felicità è un dovere, afferma Filippo La Porta che apre introduttivamente la sequenza dei saggi da lui curati insieme ad Alessandro Carrera, è comunque un dovere che va interpretato, e, da Epicuro a Robert Nozick attraverso Leopardi e una rilettura di Adorno, la sua analisi è una sollecitazione a vivere senza conformismi di sorta. A La Porta segue il punto di vista sociologico - da Thomas Jefferson ad Audrey Hepburn - e autobiografico di Alessandro Carrera sui concetti di felicità americana ed europea e le considerazioni di Rachel Wetzsteon sulle difficoltà di essere felici in due. Flavia Facco invece affronta da psicologa il tema del pensare positivo come pericoloso sintomo di rimozione e di paura, mentre Emily Fox Gordon racconta la sua odissea terapeutica di disadattata infelice in un centro rieducativo. Una segnalazione a parte merita Cynthia Ozick e il suo particolare contributo. La scrittrice ebrea americana, i cui romanzi sono tradotti anche in Italia, indaga sul suicidio di primo Levi, la cui motivazione, secondo lei, è già implicita ne "I sommersi e i salvati" suo ultimo libro. E la Ozick sembra quasi richiamarci a una conclusione: quanto sia difficile o impossibile il ritorno alla felicità laddove l'umanità venga così crudelmente oltraggiata. A book composed of many voices, which seeks to address the issue of happiness by freeing it from New Age events and complaints of the professionals of the disasters. Happiness as possible as commitment and imagination. Two essays by curators face tracing one from a historical point of view and the other from the sociological point of view. Follow four written, three very personal, and closes the reflection of a psychologist, Flavia Flaccus, which deals with the theme of positive thinking at all costs as dangerous symptom of removal and of fear.
