Why does the miracle of love arise in the life of a person and humanity? Is it possible for two to become one while maintaining the uniqueness of their selves? Is love not that powerful force through which humanity is born in each of us and victories are won over dehumanization in the most tragic times?
In front of you is a book about understanding human life in the context of love and understanding love in the context of the great law of evolution: the law of demanded diversity. Alexander Asmolov, an outstanding Russian psychologist, a distinguished professor, head of the department of personality psychology at Moscow State University, scientific supervisor of the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis, and author of the bestseller "Psychology of Dignity: The Art of Being Human," discusses love as a reinvention of life, a necessary experience of the fullness of experiencing one's time and eternity in time.
The author discusses modern threats to love, the fear of vulnerability, and the fear of the unknown, hopeless dreams of guarantees. However, since the outcome of love as an action is inherently unpredictable, only by having the courage to set and solve tasks of personal meaning, does each person have the chance to, through love, reveal why they came to this world, a world in which there are always those for whom it is worth living.
