The Gutta-Percha Man: A Brief History of Russian Stress
14.99 €
In this new edition, renowned economist and columnist Yakov Mirkin examines patterns of Russian collective and family behavior during wars, revolutions, reforms, repressions, and crises. What are the peculiarities of our psychology: how have we responded to risks and challenges for 300 years? Which stress response from the classic triad of "Run, Freeze, Fight" do we choose? What personal and family strategies can be applied in Russia for economic growth and prosperity in the future?
A whole gallery of historical personalities - emperors, military leaders, politicians, scientists, and cultural figures - will unfold before the readers. The behavior of each of them is an example of a certain reaction to stress. This book is a very interesting attempt to explain the history and modernity of Russia from the point of view of the psychology of the masses and leaders.
The book was long-listed for the prestigious Enlightener book award.
