«El misterio de la voluntad perdida» is José Antonio Marina's essay on contemporary psychology and culture, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (328 pages, in Spanish).
The book starts from a question: why has the concept of will disappeared from psychology textbooks. Marina presents himself as a detective hired by the reader and, with a tone close to crime fiction, turns a psychological issue into a cultural analysis: the replacement of will by motivation as a symptom of contemporary Western society, visible in art, politics, education and therapies.
It belongs to Anagrama's Compactos Collection, number 354. First edition published on 18 April 2006.
Recommended for readers interested in philosophy, psychology and cultural criticism seeking an accessible essay with a flair for style.
