“Felicidad Sólida” was a self-publishing project that Capponi published with the Spanish publisher and distributed through the Chilean Zigzag label. Camila Domínguez, general editor of Zig Zag publishing house, told La Tercera PM that “after the first edition sales success, 14,000 copies were published, of which more than 10,000 have already been sold”.

In this publication, the writer investigated the concept of happiness from its broader perspective, the complications to achieve it and the importance of knowing its pillars in order to achieve it.

The doctor also considered that "Chilean society is facing a paradigm shift in the way of exercising justice."

For Capponi, the crime that contributed most to the loss of confidence in the Catholic Church was and is the cover-up.

In relation to the participation of the psychiatrist in the dialogue tables convened by the government after the social outbreak, Ampuero believes that getting “that people of different convictions address that issue from humility and civic respect, may contribute to establishing in Chile the peace, security, justice and trust, which urge ”.
