More about the book
The book presents an innovative perspective on mental health, emphasizing the importance of spontaneity in shaping the self. It argues that poor mental health stems from our inability to respond effectively to both internal and external stimuli, rather than solely from early care or environmental factors. By focusing on how reactions to events define our identity, the author explores themes of agency, creativity, and the role of spontaneity in psychoanalysis, raising thought-provoking questions about these critical aspects of human experience.
