The Intimate Resistance is a keen, deeply beautiful reflection on the human condition. The author explains howwe ourselves can warm, protect and guide those around us. “The intimate resistance is the name for an experience belonging to a state of proximity; a state cannot be visited in one day, but rather habitually. Today, to remain in this state is by no means simple. Proximity cannot be measured in metres or centimetres. Its opposite is not distance, but rather the ubiquitous monotony of a world dominated by technology. What is clear is that day to day and home life are essential ways of experiencing proximity.”

“Against our compulsive immediateness and hyperconnectivity, against permanent public exposition and dispersion, Esquirol proposes the pausing, talking clearing, proximity, difference, reflection, the reinvention ofthe gaze, the return to thought.”Josep Massot, La Vanguardia“It’s one of those books that will never go out of fashion and I dare say that his reflections will serve as a reference for future generations.”Lluís Foix, El Punt Avui“A captivating essay that focusses on stimulating, intentional reflection. And, very importantly, it is magnificentlywritten. Don’t miss it.”Guillem Pufarré, El Temps“A philosophical essay, as deep as it is entertaining, that promotes fundamental values.”Josep Maria Ripoll, Serra d’Or
