More about the book
The book presents a novel perspective on mental health, arguing that poor mental health stems from our inability to respond effectively to internal and external stimuli, rather than solely from early care or environmental factors. It emphasizes the importance of spontaneity in shaping the self and suggests that our reactions to events are crucial in defining our identity. By examining themes of agency, spontaneity, and creativity, the author delves into fundamental questions that challenge traditional psychoanalytic views.
