Staunch defender of the cognitive psychology , which advocates emotional control from objective reasoning situations, the Catalan psychologist ensures that any negative situation can be minimized, based on a rational and positive internal dialogue.
In a time of crisis like the present, the appearance on television and youtube programs of coaches, experts and psychologists to help rationalize things and bring a happy and empowering point of view is essential.
Rafael Santandreu this wave climbs to contribute their bit, away from psychoanalysis, positivism and other pseudoscientific psychological schools and obsolete.
Joy inside Auschwitz
In this new book, Rafael explains how many prisoners lived very happy in spite of the hellish conditions of camp . The key was in relativize and positively assimilate the adverse situation.
The truth is that not going misguided, since history and testimonies that have come to our days, only serve to reaffirm it.

Swastika, timeless symbol of human happiness
It is well known, for example, that the Swastika has been since the beginning of the human species, a symbol of good luck, joy and happiness.
It seems that emerged in Samarra in ancient Mesopotamia more than 7000 years ago, after going through different countries, such as India, China and Germany and by different religions such as Buddhist, Hindu and Aryan.
The joy and happiness therefore are inherently linked to mankind, are its essence, it does not distinguish races, ideologies, centuries or situations. Happiness in the Nazi period is no exception, as you can believe.
It is not a question of revisionism or negationism, or desire to gimmicky simplification, because in the very entrance of Auschwitz the famous phrase once stood Arbeit macht Freit , which means work will set you free . Swastika, timeless symbol of human happiness.
It all fits with the idea of freedom, happiness and joy.
Viktor Emil Frankl, another famous psychologist, who survived Dachau and at the same Auschwitz, which was hospitalized for more than three years, wrote the famous book of self-understanding and psychology Man’s Search of meaning.
