Will to Power. The Story of a Grandeur Mania

Will to Power. The Story of a Grandeur Mania

Alfred Adler, one of the founders of psychoanalysis, was the first to ponder why stutterers so often strive for the stage, while the disabled eagerly participate in sporting competitions. These reflections led him to the discovery of the mechanism of... hypercompensation in the structure of personality, within which it is not the presence of abilities, but their deficit that drives a person to great achievements. Why? What serves as the true reason for these actions? The answer to this question was found by Alfred Adler in the pages of the diary of F. Nietzsche, a great patient of a psychiatric clinic, who spent most of his life in the twilight of consciousness, and only the will to power could awaken the greatness of genius in him.
Sigmund Freud believed that the driving force for a person is the pursuit of pleasure. Viktor Frankl made the fundamental human drive the search for meaning, and it was only Alfred Adler who saw the will to power and understood that this dark force propels a person to great achievements. This book is dedicated to the stories of grandeur mania, its triumphs and falls.
