De Jon Kabat Zinn. El título viene de Zorba, El Griego:
“Zorba, have you ever been married?” to which Zorba (played by the great Anthony Quinn) replies, growling (paraphrasing somewhat), “Am I not a man? Of course I’ve been married. Wife, house, kids … the full catastrophe!”
It was not meant to be a lament, nor does it mean that being married or having children is a catastrophe. Zorba’s response embodies a supreme appreciation for the richness of life and the inevitability of all its dilemmas, sorrows, traumas, tragedies, and ironies.
