In our cities, we stand in silent buses and tube carriages, barely acknowledging one another. Online, we retreat into silos and carefully curate who we interact with. But while we often fear strangers, or blame them for the ills of society, history and science show us that they are actually our solution. Throughout human history, our attitude to the stranger has determined the fate and wellbeing of both nations and individuals. A raft of new science confirms that the more we open ourselves up to encounters with those we don't know, the healthier we are.

Il genio di Freud è largamente riconosciuto non solo nel campo della psicoanalisi. Le sue teorie hanno rivoluzionato in modo definitivo il pensiero occidentale. Ma quello che colpisce nella sua opera è l'anticonformismo, che si traduce in un'audacia teorica mai provocatoria e sempre razionale. Freud scopre l'Edipo scrivendo sul sogno poco dopo la morte di suo padre. Afferma che la sessualità determina la vita umana. E colloca all'origine della vita sessuale un desiderio ingovernabile che chiama "pulsione".

"Major Depression" is a medical disease, which some would argue has reached epidemic proportions in contemporary society, and it affects our bodies and brains just like any other disease. Why, this book asks, has the incidence of depression been on such an increase in the last 50 years, if our basic biology hasn't changed as rapidly?

"Man muss nur fest genug daran glauben, dann kann man alles erreichen" – wir alle kennen solche Grundannahmen, die unser Denken, Fühlen, Handeln beeinflussen. Erziehung und Sozialisierung haben uns geprägt, wir hinterfragen solche Überzeugungen nicht, sondern nehmen sie als gegeben hin. Dabei beruhen sie oft auf überholten Fehlkonzeptionen und irrationalen Annahmen. Solche Mythen über die menschliche Psyche können uns stark belasten, davon ist Sacha Bachim überzeugt.

Per secoli, la mente umana è sembrata trasparente. Si sapeva che qualcosa sfuggiva al controllo della coscienza, ma si trattava di messaggi inviati dagli dèi. Poi, tutto cambia. Con Freud è l'inconscio che spiega l'origine e il significato dei sogni, ma anche le sviste e i lapsus della vita quotidiana. Un inconscio che tutti noi conosciamo, ma che non è l'unico. Incontreremo qui altri inconsci; quello, pervasivo, che chiamiamo cognitivo e che è l'esito dell'evoluzione naturale del cervello.
