China – a country where the ability to cope with internal tension, not avoiding difficulties, and moving forward despite fears has become part of the cultural code. There, no one waits for perfect conditions – they take a step even when it's scary.
The author – a practicing psychotherapist with 18 years of experience – shows how we can adopt the Eastern approach. Instead of avoiding conversations, procrastinating decisions, and suppressing emotions, the book suggests understanding why we hide from difficulties, yield when we need to defend ourselves, choose destructive relationships, and fear intimacy.
This book gently explains:
- what "passive silence" is and how to find the strength to speak up;
- why external success and internal feelings are often unrelated;
- why people actually "suffer for love" and much more.
