João Sevilhano
Synopsys
Just as microplastics contaminate the oceans, plasticized ideas – synthetic, shiny, disposable – contaminate our mental universe. Concepts that took centuries to build now appear in fast-consumption versions: five minutes of mindfulness, three steps to success, two-day workshops that promise transformation.
From two decades of work between clinical psychology and business consulting, João Sevilhano examines how, in a culture that has banned emptiness, we have turned wisdom into mental fast food.
Influenced by authors such as Byung-Chul Han, David Graeber, John Keats, and Donald Winnicott, the book offers a vocabulary to name what we feel but cannot articulate and positions itself as applied philosophy: it does not create original concepts but reinterprets existing tools to diagnose contemporary pathologies.
