Many philosophical and religious teachings surround man. Each of them asserts its exclusive rightness and rejects any other views. Can an ordinary person form a stable worldview with their help? The book offers original, often paradoxical approaches to this topic, which is important for each of us. Accessible language, aphoristic wording, and unexpected remarks make reading truly fascinating. The author is not afraid to contradict himself, to accompany his reflections with practical remarks, and at times switches to the language of parables. The fairy tales and parables included in the text, with their gentle humor and metaphorical nature, give it special expressiveness. Even if you just read them, you can understand a lot about what philosophies can and cannot teach us.
