It is easy to detect in our society a sense of psychological and emotional exhaustion that seems to become deeper every day. When added to the demands of today's busy lifestyle, dominated by technology, emergencies, and frustrations, negative events overwhelm us and cause emotional stress. The authors model their principles after genuine role models (Montessori, Krishnamurti, Mandela ...) and propose 10 antidotes to protect us from this terrible modern disease. Following these guidelines we learn to reconnect with ourselves and achieve full control over our emotional life.
