A book about POP... that also talks about OCD.

Toc y Pop is a lighthearted, anecdotal-filled account of living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) amidst the whirlwind of everyday life. If you grew up in the 80s, are passionate about music or movies, have obsessions, or just keep secrets, this book is for you.

Through records, memories, and key moments in popular culture—such as the magazines Súper Pop and Nuevo Vale, hits by Madonna and Alaska and Dinarama, and films by Eloy de la Iglesia and Pedro Almodóvar—José Ángel Rico takes us on a journey through five decades, in which humor, nostalgia, and sincerity mingle with anxiety, fear, and inner demons.

An intimate, fresh, and honest account that addresses mental health from a different perspective: with sensitivity, but also with a smile. Because talking about what hurts can be the first step toward feeling better.
