The short stories tell the story of people who find themselves in difficult life situations. When turning to a psychologist, they or their loved ones want to receive advice on how an “unformatted” person can fit into the social environment around him in order to achieve his life goals. The author traces the fates of his heroes, sometimes optimistic, sometimes tragic, and unobtrusively pushes the reader to think about ways to control their own destiny. The events described in the short stories are based on real facts, but all the names of the characters, individual details and circumstances have been changed. Any resemblance to real people is coincidental.
