The author, a famous psychophysiologist, introduces readers to the range of problems associated with understanding the nature and mechanisms of communication with oneself (autocommunication). At the same time, attention is focused on the most common “difficult” states of the human psyche (stress, phobias, frustrations, monotony) , methods and techniques for their correction and prevention - psychosomatic regulation, meditation, self-hypnosis, auto-training, etc. The book is a kind of continuation of the work of L.P. Grimak “Reserves of the Human Psyche”, repeatedly republished and translated into a number of foreign languages.
