Who controls your life — you or the autopilot? Is your behavior controlled by your intellect and beliefs or by automatic programs and conditioned reflexes? Where do your grievances, aggression, irritation, disappointments, negative emotions and irrational actions come from? Who is their author? Why do you blurt out "Oh, shit!" or even worse in the heat of the moment, even if it is inappropriate? This is just the tip of the iceberg — most of your reactions go unnoticed! Why are some people calm, sociable, thoughtful, cheerful and healthy, while others are hampered by negative emotions and irrational actions? How to return the steering wheel to the intellect of a real Homo Sapiens? Who are you at your core: a Crab — a rebel, an innovator and a generator of ideas, or a Snail — a conservative master of the world? Every few years we experience programmed Growth Crises. These are shifts in our worldview! It does not change in parts — only in leaps and bounds! This process first breaks us and then builds us. This book describes in detail why, how and when age crises occur. It explains the patterns of these processes and gives recommendations on how to stop generating unnecessary emotions, avoid breakdowns and rise to a new level!
