We live in an era of incessant change, the number of reasons for concern is growing day by day. However, difficult circumstances can not only become a source of stress, but also reveal our growth potential, help adapt to new conditions, and possibly completely change our lives. Often it is unexpected and unpleasant events that prompt changes that we have long postponed. Our goal is not to provide you with ready-made instructions or self-instruction to improve the quality of life - and there can be no such self-instruction in nature. On the contrary, we would like to end once and for all the idea of ​ ​ the existence of some single form of ideal self, which you should strive for. We will help you break free from the shackles of "imposed probability" and begin to live as you like, in your rhythm and style, fully realizing your creative abilities. Famous psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman and Jordin Feingold, a doctor and specialist in positive psychology, talk about how to believe in yourself when exploring your body, mind and the world around you. After reading this book, you will learn what post-traumatic growth is and how to survive psychological trauma, what are the strengths of a person, how to break the impostor cycle and what is harmful to perfectionism.
