Summary
Starting from her personal experience and reading numerous books on psychology, neuroscience, literature and memoirs by great authors from different creative disciplines, Rosa Montero offers us an exciting study on the links between creativity and mental instability. And she does so by sharing with the reader numerous amazing curiosities about how our brain works when creating, breaking down all the aspects that influence creativity, and assembling them before the reader's eyes as he writes, like a detective willing to solve the scattered pieces of a puzzle. research. Essay and fiction go hand in hand in this exploration of the links between creativity and madness, and in this way the audio reader will witness the very process of creation live, will discover the theory of "the perfect storm", that is, that in the creative burst a series of unrepeatable, chemical and situational factors come together, and she will share the personal experience of how Rosa Montero lived live, and for years, very close to madness. The danger of being sane speaks of "the fairies" giving us a gift, and making us pay a price for it; The normal ones do not pay that hard price, but we run the risk of dying of tedium, instead of dying of love. As in everything, the key is in the balance between the percentage of detachment and that of feeling, in achieving a certain harmony between the self that suffers and the self that controls, says the author herself
