Great Feelings. ABC Truths

This book is about how to turn great feelings into a powerful force, an energy generator, about how to be proud that you are able to experience them!

"Underestimation", "Happiness", "The Sixth Sense", "Generosity"... The most important and serious feelings that we experience are arranged in alphabetical order in this book. Big feelings!

• Elena Pasternak explains what "Apathy" is: "I look at familiar things and it's not that I don't recognize them, but it's as if they've lost their features and colors, faded. My familiar thoughts have left me, I still can't catch them, and I don't want to. And how can you want them? What is it - to want?"

• Sergey Gandlevsky talks about "Gratitude" and explains the difference between a simple, routine "thank you" and a real surge of gratitude. How nice it is to thank and how ugly it is to be ungrateful!

• Ludmila Ulitskaya - about "Pride" and the very important word "arrogance". It turns out that "pride" can be good and bad.

• Actor Sergei Yursky wisely talks about "Scrupulousness". Why did they call perfumes "scrupulous goods" before?

• Elena Kolmanovskaya says about "Inspiration": "It seems that you yourself practically do not make any effort, you are lifted by some external force that you trust. Inspiration is an action on a single breath. It is like rocking on the waves: inhale, dive - and here you are already high on the crest, and the wave embraces you and carries you to the shore."

• Alla Bossart - about "Envy". It turns out that envy can be so different - black, white, and even programmatic, seemingly obligatory.

• Boris Akunin discusses "Hatred". What a terrible feeling, but how important. Hatred is such a strong feeling that it doesn't even have an antonym, because love is definitely not the opposite of hatred... And again examples - literary heroes, for example, Pechorin and Grushnitsky.

• And the famous cartoonist Andrey Bilzho sees very important letters in the word "Compassion" - SOS, SOS - help! "Many can sympathize, pity, and commiserate. Another thing is to sympathize. Only a minority is capable of this feeling."
