Many appeals to psychologists and psychotherapists are associated with the fact that people burn out at work and in the family, treating themselves as machines with an endless resource. The book touches on one of the most important questions in a person's life - "how should I treat myself"? As a living, feeling, suffering and rejoicing being entitled to occupy his own, unique place in this world - or as a machine with a set of functions, the full value of which lies in how successfully and quickly it does its job? The book touches on issues such as functional and emotional attitudes towards oneself, violence against oneself and others, the ability to take care of oneself, support and self-support. It pays special attention to a person's emotions - how to recognize them, what they are trying to report and how to deal with these emotions.
