In this book, Santandreu analyzes several concepts, one of them being «terribilitis,» which is based on the fact that we think things are much more terrible than they really are, because we create a subjective reality based on irrational beliefs and this in turn causes us suffering and pain.

Another of the concepts that Santandreu focuses on in this book is “needitis” and that is that we need more and more to be happy.

According to the author himself, «it is we ourselves who make our lives miserable with our internal dialogue.»
