About the book: 1977 / The first edition of this book, published in 1973, instantly became a bibliographic rarity and has already been translated into foreign languages. While preparing the second edition, the author, a writer and psychotherapist, known both for his books for the general reader and for his scientific works in the field of psychiatry and psychology, continued to engage in medical and scientific work. The book includes new materials about what internal significance is, about a person’s well-being in communication, and others. The main content, as before, is the art of self-control, practical psychotechnics, in a fusion of ancient and modern experience, ancient truths and new ideas. This is a therapeutic book for everyone and a workshop on internal self-education.
