What critics say

Her books have sold more than three million copies in forty countries, and Cómo hacer que te pasen cosas buenas was among Spain's best-sellers in 2019. Some experts criticise her for oversimplifying, explaining mood almost entirely through cortisol, dopamine or serotonin and setting social factors aside; others say the idea of vitamin people versus toxic ones sorts people in a simplistic way.
