Petit manuel de non-développement personnel

Some people are beings of light? Chromotherapy could cure mental or physical disorders? Certain stones would have magical virtues? Alberto Montt strongly doubts it, as he doubts of the relevance of many practices which are flourishing everywhere in the Western societies. Under the promise of healing and success, the trade in spirituality, personal development, esotericism, positivism and Holistic therapies of all kinds bring in more than eighteen billion dollars per year, just in Latin America and Europe. But the discourse according to which everything is possible if you put your mind to it implies that each individual is responsible for your problems. If you don't succeed, it's your fault. If you are not happy, it is your karma... Lovely program! Through A series of sharply humorous vignettes, Alberto Montt mocks the small world of merchants of hope and dreams.
