CAN WE REALLY KNOW OURSELVES?
HOW FREE ARE WE WHEN OUR DECISIONS ARE INFLUENCED BY DESIRES WE ARE UNAWARE OF?
CAN WE CHANGE OUR LIVES BY CONFRONTING THE UNCONSCIOUS?
In this book, we meet Sigmund Freud in his study, surrounded by the famous couch, figurines, and the silences of those who trusted him. We sit across from him and, through a simple, lively, and accessible dialogue, hear him speak about the unconscious, dreams, repressed desires, love, fear, and the traumas that continue to shape our lives.
WHAT DO OUR DREAMS CONCEAL?
WHY DO WE REPEAT WHAT HURTS US?
WHO IS REALLY IN CONTROL OF OUR LIVES: THE “EGO,” THE “ID,” OR THE “SUPEREGO”?
A conversation with the man who dared to shed light on the darkest regions of the human psyche; a conversation that invites us to look within without fear, come to terms with what we conceal, and discover that the truth about ourselves may be the most difficult path—but also the most liberating.
