Will to power. The story of one megalomania

Alfred Adler, one of the founders of psychoanalysis, was the first to think about why Zaiks so often strive for the stage, and cripples are so striving to participate in sports. These thoughts led him to the discovery of the hypercompensation mechanism in the structure of the personality, within which it is not the presence of abilities, and their deficiency pushes a person to great achievements. For what? What serves as the true cause of these actions? Alfred Adler found the answer to this question on the pages of F. Nietzsche’s diary, a great patient of a psychiatric clinic who spent most of his life at twilight of consciousness, and only the will to power was able to awaken the greatness of a genius in it.

The stories of mania of greatness, its triumph and fall, and this book is dedicated
