Zerebria is a site dedicated to bringing you tips, tricks, exercises and suggestions to help you explore different areas of your mind and, therefore, improve your life. The name, a variation from “cerebro”, the Spanish word for brain, emphasizes human brain as the conducting thread for everything contained here. In our days, the word “brain” is mostly linked to matters like intelligence, perception, logical reasoning or abstraction, and, while that is true, it is only a part of the truth. The left hemisphere part, to be exact. But this blog will also cover right hemisphere-related issues, like creativity, enthusiasm, intuition, or fun. If they look more unorthodox to you than the previous list, it is probably because of a heavy social conditioning that puts all the stress on our left side. But we need both of them. It is not that there is something wrong with our left brain, it makes us more efficient; but it is the right one who makes us happy.

Ignacio Jordi - I’m a psychologist, behaviorist by formation, and psychoanalyst (Jungian type) by choice. I also work as a translator. I have been into writing since I was a kid (my first “formal” texts were produced in my grandfather’s Olivetti typewriter at the age of ten -25 years ago-). I have also worked as a translator. My main hobbies include music (from Mozart’s Quartets to punk rock), films (from Jean-Luc Goddard to horror films), and literature. I currently live in Madrid (Spain).
