This article presents the views on love and happiness of the famous and somewhat scandalous Russian psychologist, Mikhail Labkovsky. His statements evoke conflicting feelings in my mind. On the one hand, I understand and agree with him, but on the other hand, following his rules could dramatically change your life. Are we ready for this? "A healthy person loves only those who love him or her. All others are not interesting to the healthy person," this is one of the most striking statements of Mikhail Labkovsky. This statement is unusual and explains a lot, like many other words of Mikhail Labkovsky, immediately drawing attention to him and his teaching. Before the speech “About love and happiness: where to find it and how to keep it,” the psychologist immediately said that the lecture itself would take no more than 15 minutes, the rest of the time he would answer questions. “This is not a lecture, when a lecturer talks for two hours, you sleep, and then we disperse,” he said ...
Mikhail Labkovsky is a renowned psychologist whose 30-year practice and personal experiences have resulted in six rules that consistently help people overcome neurosis. Like many professionals in his field, he was motivated to enter the profession due to his own struggles and found success in his work. Mikhail created his six rules to help people find peace, confidence, and happiness. Although, these rules are known to be quite radical but effective in dealing with neurosis. Who can benefit from these rules? The rules can be helpful for anyone who is struggling in life and may not be able to see the positive aspects of the world. However, they are particularly recommended for neurotics, as they often have deeply ingrained patterns of behavior that need to be broken and replaced with new ones. It's worth noting that while the rules are designed for neurotics, they assume a baseline of mental health and healthy desires. Any issues related to mental illness should be addressed by a p...
Hey beautiful people, You know how sometimes life just zooms by? Like, one minute it's Monday morning, and then poof, it's Friday, and you're wondering where all that time went. In all that rushing, it's super easy to miss out on the small stuff, isn't it? The little moments, the tiny details that are actually kinda magical if we just take a second to notice. I've been thinking a lot about this lately. About how we often wait for big, flashy things to feel beautiful or inspired — a fancy vacation, a new outfit, a huge accomplishment. But what if real beauty, the kind that truly nourishes your soul, is actually hiding in plain sight, in the everyday things we just walk right past? For me, finding that kind of beauty has become a real game-changer. It’s like when the light hits my old teacup just right in the morning, making the steam glow. Or the smell of freshly baked bread wafting from a neighbor's window on a chilly day. It could be the way the shadows da...
Hey dear ones, I’ve shared a lot here about finding beauty in the everyday, about inner peace, and the magic of simple moments. And honestly, I believe all of that with my whole heart. But there’s another part of my everyday, a really big, heavy part, that I haven’t really talked about. It’s living in a country that's at war, in a city that still gets hit by missiles and combat drones. You might wonder how you live when the air raid sirens go off, not just sometimes, but every single day. At first, every wail would send a jolt through you, a cold fear straight to your bones. You’d drop everything, grab your go-bag, and head to the shelter. But after a while… well, it’s like your mind just can’t hold that much fear, that much constant dread. So, a lot of people here, including me sometimes, we just keep going. The sirens become background noise. A terrifying, heartbreaking background noise that you try to tune out, because if you don't, you just can’t function. And then there a...
