Why does humanity go through upheavals again and again? Why do the fight against poverty and suffering progress so slowly? How do ordinary people become tyrants like Stalin and Hitler? In search of answers, M. Hollick and K. Connelly conducted a large-scale study and came to the conclusion: the root of wars and disasters lies in human nature itself—in psychological traumas that, in one form or another, exist in everyone. The authors believe that anyone can come to peace and inner harmony if they can heal the hidden pain, and they explain how to do that. They examine different approaches—from ancient Indigenous rituals to modern methods of psychology—and offer their own system that can help not only personal recovery, but also change the direction of historical events.
