“The material this book offers is a stepping stone for Latin societies to implement ideas that help improve their quality of life. The construction and organisation of the book provides the reader with a clear account of the main challenges modern societies are facing. … The book fits all kind of audiences. Due to its varied content and colloquial vocabulary, the book is a good asset for both academic and personal purposes.” (Lucia Macchia, Applied Research Quality Life, Vol. 13. 2018)
