We all face feelings of stagnation, lack of progress, or perspective in life. Sometimes this happens because we do not see obvious ways to move forward or achieve goals, experience professional dissatisfaction, difficulties in relationships, or feel oppressive fatigue from the monotony and predictability of everyday life. And sometimes we realize that we are hostages of our experience and live as if by inertia, following other people's rules and expectations. How to get out of a life deadlock? Ekaterina Davydova suggests abandoning familiar ways of thinking and venturing into the mysterious forest of the unconscious. Drawing on examples from her own professional experience and works of mass and classical culture, she explains how to learn to listen to intuition, trust dreams, and use the potential of the irrational. The book will help readers establish contact with their unconscious to find solutions to tasks that recently seemed impossible.
Quotes
"No one wants to find themselves in a life deadlock. Nevertheless, we all end up there: when current relationships have run their course, and we can't decide on further steps, when we have long pursued earnings to gain external status or stop worrying about tomorrow, but, having surrounded ourselves with expensive bags, cars, and apartments, have not experienced joy or peace, but instead faced a sense of meaninglessness and emptiness. When after many years of 'living right,' suddenly feel like a student who gets straight A's, does everything with an eye on others and for their approval, but does not know their true self."
"We try to 'squeeze' our individual life story into general frameworks and recommendations. It's no wonder that other people's advice only causes irritation. This is how the psyche protests and calls for finding our own remedy, a personal prescription."
"What if feelings, sensations, intuition, deep self-connection can help us just as well as rational thinking? What if the answers and clues we need can be found in the unconscious?"
