Do we believe that we can take control of our lives, because a lot depends on us, on our choices? Or do we believe that we inevitably have to walk a path at the mercy of the circumstances, our environment, our past, the patterns brought by our ancestors? Do we have real, far-reaching, mature decisions, or do we wait for other people and external events to sway us in one direction or another? Or do we drag out the time until certain opportunities are lost, so that in the end we are no longer forced to make a decision?
Are we able to stick to our decisions in the long term, even against external expectations, if they lead us in a different direction than where we want to go? Do we have enough autonomy - and if we don't have it yet, what can we do to increase our internal (and with it external) freedom? These questions are dealt with in the title presentation of the volume, while many other topics arise in the other chapters.
During the past decade, Dr. Kitti Almási gave many hundreds of lectures in various parts of Hungary and beyond our borders. Anyone who has been lucky enough to listen to him somewhere knows that he is at least as remarkable as a speaker as he is as an author, and that personal meetings inspire him so much that many believe that this is when he is truly in his element.
In this selection volume, we have collected a few of his best lectures in a bouquet, which flash a slice of the renowned psychologist's thinking while venturing into different areas of life. It is about self-awareness, relationships, family, expectations and autonomy, courage, coping, the possibilities of standing up for yourself and self-defense, healing your wounds - in the usual readable, enjoyable style from Kitti Almási.
