Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Many of the difficulties we have in our personal relationships, both intimate and with our family and workmates stem from an inability to understand how we ourselves function and our resistance to how our partner or friends reflect our personality back at us. Most of the time we would much prefer to ignore what they make us see and continue to blame them for our own deficiencies. Our lack of real identity forces us into seeking external gratifications of all sorts to palliate our own flaws, but is it really so difficult to find out who you really are? In Reflections, the aim is to discover how we can avoid the traps that our false beliefs may lead us into, those crazy notions picked up during our lives that tie us into emotional and sentimental knots. Through easily-digested references to anthropology, mythology, motorcycles and buying shoes, the book will lead you through the minefields of 20th century psychoanalysis and the excesses of Eastern mysticism.
