Faz sentido falar em aversão à felicidade? Se faz ou não faz parece não importar porque a gente, em algum momento, sente como se a felicidade não tivesse no nosso caminho. Quem nunca já meteu os pés pelas mãos, fez uma sequência de escolhas ruins, pensou no desastre que estava por vir quando as coisas estavam “perfeitas”? Nesse episódio eu falo do assunto, comento testes psicológicos que já existem sobre o medo da felicidade, e aproveito para compartilhar a sabedoria da tia-avó Clotilde.
