Action Instead of Reaction

The outstanding neurobiologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal wrote: «Every person can, if they so wish, become the sculptor of their own brain». This is precisely what this book is dedicated to – the great ability of a person to change themselves and to change the life around them. Our innate talent for change is a double-edged sword. It empowers us to destroy ourselves and the world around us, but at the same time, due to its plasticity, we can purify and perfect our minds, transforming chaos into order. We can consciously act instead of automatically reacting to life situations. This book discusses the possibility of change and how to manage it. Its author is the creator of the largest project in Russia on philosophy, psychology, and neurobiology «Letters to Oneself», a candidate of philosophical sciences. This means it is not only extremely useful but also written in an engaging and vivid language!
