A book about all things pop… that also talks about OCD.
TOC y POP is a light-hearted, anecdote-filled account of what it’s like to live with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in the whirlwind of everyday life. If you grew up in the ’80s, love music and cinema, have quirks, or simply keep secrets, this book is for you.
Through records, memories, and key moments in pop culture—from Súper Pop and Nuevo Vale magazines, to the hits of Madonna or Alaska y Dinarama, and the films of Eloy de la Iglesia and Pedro Almodóvar—José Ángel Rico takes us on a five-decade journey where humor, nostalgia, and honesty blend with anxiety, fears, and inner demons.
An intimate, fresh, and candid testimony that approaches mental health from a different angle: with sensitivity, but also with a smile. Because talking about what hurts can be the first step toward feeling better.
About the Author
José Ángel Rico Sierra is an actor and radio contributor. He lives in Barcelona, where he collaborates with the station Ona de Sants, sharing his passion for music, film, and pop culture. He was born in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, but his heart is in Cabeza del Buey—the town in Badajoz his family comes from and which he also considers home. His roots are ever-present in the way he tells stories: with tenderness, humor, and disarming honesty.
TOC y POP is his first book, a work that blends memories, songs, and emotions to speak naturally about mental health—from personal experience and without ever losing his smile.
