In "Se vuoi puoi", Roth applica i concetti del "design thinking", ideato in origine come modello per trattare problemi complessi che comportano rischi decisionali nelle aziende, per aiutare a realizzare i cambiamenti positivi a cui ognuno di noi può aspirare. Roth presenta discussioni, esempi, suggerimenti ed esercizi selezionati per aiutarci a vedere in modo differente la nostra vita e per renderci consapevoli del fatto che, un passo alla volta, possiamo realizzare tutto ciò che abbiamo sempre voluto, superando gli ostacoli che si frappongono ai nostri obiettivi. Impareremo: perché "provare" e "realizzare" sono due cose molto diverse; perché trovare sempre delle scuse (anche se legittime) per giustificare un determinato comportamento è un atteggiamento autolesionista; come dei piccoli cambiamenti nel linguaggio che usiamo possono aiutarci a risolvere i nostri dilemmi esistenziali; come aumentare la resilienza ponendoci obiettivi via via più impegnativi; ad apprendere dalle nostre esperienze e da quelle di chi ci sta intorno. Il nostro cervello è un organo molto complesso e spesso congiura con il nostro ego sabotando le nostre migliori intenzioni. Con l'aiuto di questo libro, impareremo a coltivare un atteggiamento di mindfulness autentica e ad alimentare abitudini che miglioreranno la nostra vita sia professionale sia personale.

Tutti infrangiamo le regole. Ma che cos'è quella voce dentro di noi che ci disapprova per averlo fatto? Secondo la psicoanalisi è il Super-Io, concepito da Freud come interiorizzazione infantile dell'autorità genitoriale, manifestazione sublimata del complesso di Edipo. Il libro mostra quanto sia importante il Super-lo nel trasmettere codici morali e di comportamento da una generazione all'altra, ma nel contempo come esso possa portare a stati mentali depressivi di cui molti di noi soffrono.

Aside from the usual updating of material, the major change in this edition is an extensive re-writing of the chapter on memory and learning to emphasize that genes that are involved in behaviour are not immutable but their expression can be modified by transcription factors. Thus, with respect to learning, that old question about which is more important, nature or nuture, genetics or environment, should be answered with the question, which leg is more important for walking, the left or the right?
