A new look at shame - unexpected, stunning, arising from the latest research in the field of neurophysiology and psychology. A book that helps to cope with the destructive feeling of guilt and regain strength, self-esteem and freedom. In the book of Boris the Barber, not only individuals are ashamed, but also social groups and entire nations. Some of them learn a lesson from this, some of them lead to death. The Barber not only explains how and why the feeling of shame arises, but also equips the reader with the tools necessary to make this natural feeling (sometimes necessary and inevitable, and sometimes the result of manipulation) has not turned into a poison that poisons life, makes you withdraw into feelings of guilt and interferes with development.
