Psychologist to himself

The highly successful popular psychological handbook on mental health, one of the most successful publications of experienced psychologists Tomáš Novák and Věra Capponi and a long-time bestseller of Grada publishing house, is now in its fourth, revised edition.

The popularity of this book is a testimony to the fact that the topic of self-knowledge is inexhaustible and relevant for every generation. We ask ourselves again and again who we are, where we are going, what makes us happy or unhappy. The authors provide all those who want to embark on the path of self-discovery with the necessary theoretical knowledge of the basic features of the human psyche, but above all they focus on the overlap of psychological knowledge into practical life.

With characteristic insight, they describe the most common prejudices, defence mechanisms, stereotypical thought processes and communication games, that complicate our lives, and they don't neglect the basics of relaxation, meditation and assertiveness. The text is enriched with tests, exercises and practical examples to help readers better navigate their own motives.
