Description
La salud es entendida por los autores como un recurso positivo para vivir mejor. Partiendo de esta idea y sin renunciar al rigor propio del método científico, tratan de explicar de un modo claro y sencillo cómo la psicología puede ayudarnos a mejorar nuestra salud. Por medio de un profundo análisis, esta obra explica: - Por qué adoptamos hábitos de riesgo para nuestra salud (v.g. fumar, comer en exceso, vida sedentaria, etc.) - Cómo utilizar la psicología para sustituir dichos hábitos por comportamientos beneficiosos para nuestra salud - Por qué es tan difícil mantener un estilo de vida sano (v.g. por qué cuesta tanto esfuerzo y trabajo mantener un programa regular de ejercicio físico) - Por qué acudimos al médico y, sin embargo, no le hacemos caso - Cómo puede motivarnos el médico para que cumplamos sus prescripciones - Qué se puede hacer desde los medios de comunicación social para crear una cultura de la salud En definitiva, este libro nos muestra cómo transformar nuestras condiciones de vida para que nos mantengamos sanos.
