We always think that psychosis is synonymous with mental illness.. However, it can manifest itself in any healthy person through a temporary break with reality.. In the moment of madness, the madman that we sometimes are follows, obstinately, a fixed and false idea that always emerges in the same circumstances, takes hold of us and impels us to act blindly.. Nasio shows us, in his characteristic accessible language, that each of us harbors a powerful fantasy ready to manifest itself in the form of delirium.. It also explains why a psychotic, conversely, manages to preserve healthy regions in his psyche.. After all, according to the author, within every individual there is a plurality of healthy and sick "people" linked by an invisible thread.
