Why did two such different topics end up under the same “roof”? The author of the book made an attempt to look at rapidly changing life from different angles. The first part deals with men, their position and psychological state in the modern world, the changes that have happened to men over the past hundred years. The book examines the most characteristic sharp corners that are often found in human relationships, over which many stumble and sometimes hurt their knees so that it becomes very difficult to move on. In the second part of the book, we will try together with the author to get between them and at the same time get hurt as little as possible, but think as deeply as possible. Whatever one may say, it all starts with awareness. This is the first step to answering the question: what to do with all this? Of course, there are no ready-made recipes for all occasions. But over twenty years of practice, Elena Novoselova has developed some ideas about hopeless and desperate situations. And she is sure that there is a way out of any situation.
