Accessible psychology for adults and children.
“ If we learned to understand, we wouldn’t wander through life like children in an unfamiliar grove,” said the Silver Age poet Sasha Cherny. To understand yourself, to see and take into account the traits of other people— isn’t that perhaps the most important skill of a person? Both for a big, mature person over the years, and for the one whom others unfairly still consider “small” and “a child.” This audiobook is about people’s characters. What they’re made of, which psychological ingredients form them and how they develop. After all, a human being is a complex composition created by Nature with love and admiration. And the most important thing is that all the peculiarities of human character are originally strengths—nothing else. Nature doesn’t create “low-quality” people. And only our failure to understand ourselves and others—our psychological ignorance—allows strengths to turn into weaknesses.
This audiobook is a fairy tale. But contrary to the saying, there’s no lies in it. And there are no negative heroes. It’s only “lessons for good fellows.” At least, that’s how the author—psychologist Viktor Ponomarenko—imagined it. In essence, it’s a fairy-tale variation on the theme of his famous psychodiagnostic method “7 radicals.” Listeners familiar with this method, and those who learn about it for the first time, will find plenty of new and interesting things in the audiobook “Seven Emotions of Seven Kingdoms.”
