What We Truly Need

Zusatztext

Finding happiness and contentment: What makes us truly content and what lures us down the wrong path. How to live more authentically: Draw courage from the experiences of a psychoanalyst to fight for yourself! A psychoanalyst takes stock after thirty years on the other side of the couch. What has really helped his patients? What does happiness mean and how can we achieve it? Adler concludes that in the end, it was always the seemingly simple changes that really helped: making friends, finding a sense of security and confidence, having goals in life, rediscovering curiosity, and taking everything much more calmly. Above all, to draw on a deeply felt sense of ones own self, rather than on external and internal constraints. To be authentic and to identify and implement the things in life that bring true satisfaction. This book helps readers find out for themselves: what do I truly need? How do I become secure in myself? How can I shape the best possible version of my life?
