tools for building relationships, and advice for anyone who wants to love sincerely. «I take a block of marble and cut away everything that is not necessary», — said Michelangelo Buonarroti. So it is in love: your chosen one is not a clean slate, but already a ready masterpiece, hidden under layers of fears, stereotypes, and childhood traumas. But how do you become someone who does not distort but frees the best version of a loved one? And why do we most often choose not «sculptors», but those who only multiply our cracks?
Psychologists Ana Maria Sepe and Anna De Simone explore and explain how the phenomenon of «The Michelangelo Effect» works in life, discovered by American psychologist Stephen Dritsas: when two people become mirrors of growth, their views, words, and support release potential they themselves did not suspect.
