This book is for those who are disappointed, no longer expect any help and feel doomed to forever “score goals against their own goal.” It is for those who know that sometimes they are their own worst enemy and cannot control themselves. Richard O'Connor, renowned psychotherapist and PhD candidate, explains why it's so difficult to break bad habits, reveals the duality of our personalities and suggests ways to train the involuntary part of our brain, weaning it off destructive habits and changing our behavior for the better. Published in Russian for the first time.
