DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Cercetările lui Leidy Klotz au condus la un adevăr simplu: indiferent dacă este vorba despre construirea unor jucării cu piese de lego, planurile de urbanizare, sendvișuri sau strategiile de afaceri, mintea e tentată să adauge, în loc să scadă.

Caplan in this impassioned audiobook, is it a mental illness to be devastated by war or other intolerable experiences such as military sexual assault?

In When Johnny and Jane Come Marching Home, Caplan argues that the standard treatment of therapy and drugs is often actually harmful.
