In this episode, we speak with Jesús G. Maestro, Professor of Literary Theory and author of "The Failure of Happiness," who fearlessly dismantles the pillars of positive thinking, self-help, and contemporary idealism. We explore key concepts such as the triple D (disillusionment, disappointment, and disenchantment) that defines the Cervantine generation, the dangerous substitution of freedom with happiness as a social value, and why Don Quixote is actually a survival manual against deception.

Sobre todo una idea: que quizá hemos cambiado la palabra libertad por la palabra felicidad. Y eso parece una frase bonita, pero en realidad es bastante dura.
Porque hoy todo se traduce a “estar bien”, “tener propósito”, “ser positivo”, “adaptarte”, “agradecer”… incluso cuando a lo mejor la pregunta no debería ser si somos felices, sino si seguimos siendo libres.
También me gustó mucho lo del Quijote. No como ese libro que todos nombran y casi nadie lee, sino como una especie de vacuna contra vivir engañado por ideales que luego la realidad te rompe en la cara.
No me parece una entrevista pesimista. Me parece incómoda, que es distinto. No te consuela. Te obliga a mirar qué estás aceptando, qué has normalizado y cuántas veces has llamado felicidad a lo que quizá era simple resignación.
Para mí, esa es la fuerza de la conversación.
LA CLAVE ❤❤❤
GRACIAS.
