“Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional”, Buddha said after years of meditation. The doctor Daniel Lopez Rosetti brings that sentence back to start his new book”Stress, suffering and happiness” (Ed. Planeta), where he expresses the years of work and learning he had in Stress Medicine.
Recognized for his professional career as a clinician and cardiologist, in addition to his presence on television and radio, López Rosetti published nine books about his work in the field of medicine. “When it is stated: pain is inevitable, suffering is optional, it is strong, because pain is inevitable when there are family, economic, and emotional losses. There are always losses and pain is inherent in life itself, both emotional and physical, but suffering is optional, ”he assures in a talk with NOTICIAS.
From classical medicine, psychology, philosophy and history, López Rosetti seeks uA concrete answer to questions that arise daily. Specifying the symptoms of stress and placing main emphasis on the perception and subjectivity of the human being, it provides the public with detailed information to ask themselves questions that continuously condition their own well-being.
“If the pain becomes chronic it becomes suffering”, states in his latest book the 64-year-old doctor who began to work hard in Stress Medicine after a family loss. “My dad passed away abroad, I mourned correctly, but since stress has three stages: alarm, resistance and exhaustion, after having an alarm reaction for that event and resisting for some time, the holidays came and I had a lung infection. severe. He lived in a stressful condition”, he assures.
“About 25 years ago it was not common to talk about stress, today it is absolutely frequent,” explains the doctor who spends his time in the corridors of the San Isidro Municipal Hospital where he works as head of the Stress Medicine service. “Today it can be said that stress is greater because the pressure of everyday lifeof cultural development throughout the world, the tendency to speed makes the human being see himself recharged in his vital coping capacities”, he affirms.
Consecrated in the field of medicine and communication, López Rosetti through the pages of his book describes the stress system in a clear and simple way. In addition, he highlights the negative impact it generates on the people who suffer from it and how it can affect them chronically. “Hard talk is easy. I seek to speak in a simple way because it is the only way to heal or accompany someone. The key is to be able to transmit it to the patient”, assures the specialist.
The main theme of his new book is a phenomenon that affects the majority of the population. “When I talk about stress I am talking about everyone, in which I include myself, because the experience and management of stress is daily for each one of us,” explains the professional who is also in charge of the Stress-Free and Health Chair of the University of Buenos Aires and adds “The way of living, what ‘you have to reach‘ It makes most people exceed the response capacities for which we have been prepared in this world.”
The happiness
“You have to conceptualize happiness. Happiness is not joy, it is not exaltation or euphoria. Happiness is nothing acute or intense, on the contrary, it is a soft emotional state of well-being and balance on which one can inscribe the events of his life”, says the doctor. In his book, López Rosetti dedicates entire chapters to emotions, to explain to the reader the difference between them and feelings.
“We observed that most people get stressed by false questions and that philosophically they could overcome. They also magnify the problems they have. This is basically a matter of mental and emotional learning”, comments the expert on his daily experiences in the hospital and adds “We say that reality does not exist, what exists is the interpretation of the factual facts from our own point of view” .
