INTRODUCTION
This is an autobiographical comedy book in which the protagonist reflects on an intense internal struggle; The despair of a man trapped in his own feelings of guilt, pain, and confusion. His neurotransmitters enslave him to a deep endogenous depression, triggering fleeting mood swings as he confronts this strange condition. In his quest for relief, he plunges into increasingly chaotic situations, worsening his life and his new romantic relationships after the breakup with his first love of over two decades.
The pursuit of fleeting happiness, where his neurotransmitters play a crucial role, leads him to seek quick yet short-lived reliefs. The narrative is filled with both comedic and dramatic moments, where dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins become the true stars of the book. These substances take center stage in a story of intense emotions, impulsive actions, and a clear disconnection between what he desires and what he truly feels, leading him to episodes of deep pain and confusion.
Trapped in countless crossroads and burdened by unbearable emotional pain, he decides to confront the torment that consumes him. Everything escalates when, overnight, he loses everything in a car accident. This event marks the beginning of a journey of healing and personal transformation. Through the use of psychedelics and spiritual retreats, the protagonist experiences altered states of consciousness, expanding his perception of reality and awakening profoundly from the dream of life.
This evolutionary process allows him to laugh at the past and detach from the future, becoming a true observer of his present. His endogenous depression finally fades away as if by magic, unlocking new abilities and emotions triggered by the neuroplasticity that psychedelics fostered within him. Thus, he embarks on a completely different life, where he learns to control his emotions and feelings, hack his ego, and step outside his comfort zone, embracing radical change.
This is a book full of lessons wrapped in mysticism, where enlightenment comes after darkness, and pain becomes the key to a profound transformation.
From the darkest moments to the brightest flashes of awareness, this story invites you to explore the depths of the human soul and the mysteries of the mind. Here, you will find not only laughter and tears but also an unexpected guide to facing pain and transforming it into strength, opening doors to a life filled with meaning, balance, and spiritual connection.
