Imagine a superhero who is tired of saving the planet every night and realizes he can’t get off the couch. In the real world, where everyone is expected to be productive and successful, there are surprisingly many such “superheroes” – lonely, exhausted and burned out in pursuit of the perfect life.

Alexey Solovyov talks about how we are influenced by the cult of efficiency, the pressure of social networks, the constant rush and unattainable ideals of bodily perfection and wealth on display. According to the author, the way to overcome these challenges lies in conscious self-development, accepting one’s own vulnerability and establishing close ties with others.

About how to live fully - without imposed illusions, safely and happily, Alexey Solovyov explains in his book.
