Description

Psychologist Mikhail Labkovsky is absolutely certain that a person can—and has the right to be—happy and to do only what they want. His book is about how to understand yourself, find harmony, and learn to enjoy life. The author explores the reasons that prevent a mentally healthy way of living: where do our conscious and unconscious anxieties and fears come from, why don’t we know how to listen to ourselves and build relationships with other people? A distinctive feature of Labkovsky’s approach is its concreteness. No matter how difficult the question is, he always gives an extremely clear answer. His statements and advice are so radical that many people have to first feel surprise—if not shock. In his recommendations, the author doesn’t hide behind vague formulations—he clearly names the causes of problems. And, most importantly, he knows how to solve the problem—without digging into childhood psycho-traumas and without closely analyzing your past. If a person has knowledge and the desire, changing themselves and their life for the better is entirely possible. The goal of any psychologist’s work is the personal happiness and well-being of their patient. The purpose of publishing this book is the personal happiness of everyone who reads it.
