Growing Up. How to Not Just Grow Up, but Become an Emotionally Mature Person

Do you know the feeling when you are anxious, sad, or irritated about something and cannot distract yourself? Or do you know that you want to achieve something, but you cannot quite focus on the goal? Or maybe life just seems to you like a vicious cycle that you go through over and over again?
Whether you’re finishing your education, starting a career, trying to achieve financial independence, or creating your first long-term relationships — entering adulthood is associated with a whole bunch of difficulties and obstacles. But much more than external circumstances, our own emotional habits hold us back. They destroy motivation and focus, cause self-doubt, and push us into a vicious circle of stress and self-criticism.
This book is about how to find inner balance and discover a path to a rich and happy adult life. Psychologist Lara Fielding skillfully connects relevant scientific research with real-life stories from young people she works with in her therapeutic practice. Each chapter of this unique guide is filled with vivid examples and effective strategies that will help you connect with your own emotions, determine your core values, make informed decisions, and invest energy in what truly matters.
