Klidná mysl v dobách zlých - Co duši dnešního člověka ničí a co ji uzdravuje – Hrnčířová Martina (2022)

In a time of rapid and urgent changes in society affected by the COVID pandemic and social, climate, or geopolitical crises, the internal psychological climate of a person is often overlooked. This book is a guide intended to inspire care for oneself and the community as a whole in today's turbulent times and provide instructions on how to achieve mental balance. It presents practical topics such as methods for calming the mind, working with anger, mindfulness techniques, non-violent communication methods, and the development of seemingly mundane things like simplicity, gratitude, and forgiveness. It also addresses the issue of excessive performance pressure, which forms the core of modern unfreedom and inner discomfort, excessive perfectionism, and the constant pursuit of material wealth, and seeks to offer solutions on how to break free from these feelings and live life fully but freely. The author's perspective as an educated psychiatrist and psychotherapist is complemented by research from the fields of medicine and cognitive sciences aimed at understanding what behaviors have a real effect on improving quality of life and coexistence among people.
