How to Love Yourself. Always on Your Side!

Sergey Petrushin – a psychologist-consultant with over 30 years of experience. He has come to the conclusion that the key problems in the life of a modern person are a consequence of the absence of self-love: self-criticism, self-deprecation, indifference to oneself, and sometimes even self-aggression. Even the current Criminal Code seems more humane than the inner court by which some people judge themselves. Rigidity, criticalness, and judgment have penetrated us so deeply that they have even become a reason for a strange pride in the violence we inflict on ourselves. But happiness lies in being in peace, love, and harmony, primarily with oneself. How can this be achieved? One can use the following metaphor: each person conditionally represents a car brand. Of course, one can envy that another is a “Mercedes”, while I am only a “Ford”. But it’s not about what kind of car you are, but about how well you know yourself and use your resources. Let me have a “Ford”, but if I can squeeze, for example, 20% out of it, that’s cooler than a 5% “Mercedes”. In this book, the author shares his own approach to how to become a close person to oneself and “spark” a romance with oneself for many years!
