Fight for Your Freedom or Die Trying: No-one Is Coming to F*cking Save You

"Our addiction to drama leaves us vulnerable. We are distracted, unhealthy and we’re industrialised slaves. Our addiction to drama is why we are so easily manipulated and controlled by far-right-wing extremists, as some would prefer to call them instead of ‘fascists’. They promise us salvation when all they’re really interested in is profits for the billionaires. No-one is coming to fight for our freedom from the algorithms and AI in social media that the billionaires use to control us and keep us locked into our addiction to drama. “Work will set us free” is the fascist message that is written on the sign above the gates of Auschwitz. Our healthcare insurance has now become the true inheritance of that message. We work until the AI decides it's time for us to die based on the profit for the billionaires. We have to fight for our freedom and outwit our addiction to drama. And, I hear you say, “So f*cking what? What are the real tangible benefits? Is this going to get me rich? Is this going to get me the man/woman of my dreams? Is this going to help me live forever?' That is your addiction to drama doing the talking and your fears that have you trapped there. You have to choose to save yourself first, like I did. I fought to outwit my addiction to drama - the dragon in my DNA. And you can do that too. Fight for your freedom from addiction to drama or die trying. Because no-one is coming to fcking save you. The prize of outwitting our addiction to drama is freedom."

"Если овцу посадить в клетку рядом с клеткой волка и при этом создать необходимые условия для жизни – овца умрет. От стресса, вызванного тревогой. Сегодня такие «волки» преследуют нас повсюду. Новостные сводки, экономическая нестабильность, стремительные изменения в обществе ежедневно проверяют нашу психику на прочность. Книга — проводник в мир психического здоровья. Здесь научный подход сочетается с художественным осмыслением — сложные темы становятся ближе и понятнее. Практикующий психиатр Василий Шуров объясняет механизмы тревоги, депрессии и выгорания, разрушая мифы о «стыдных» диагнозах, а писатель Анна Пронина дополняет каждую главу рассказами, где психологические проблемы осмысляются через призму мистических сюжетов. Ее герои – словно наши отражения в кривом зеркале, помогающие увидеть то, что мы привыкли игнорировать. «Ваша тревога — не враг, а сигнальная система. Эта книга научит вас ее понимать», — обещают авторы. И дают главное — надежду, что в эпоху перемен можно найти внутреннюю устойчивость, даже если «волки» постоянно смотрят в глаза. Слушайте аудиоверсию в исполнении актеров Кирилла Радцига и Юлии Яблонской. Авторы – Василий Шуров и Анна Пронина раскрыли замысел книги в предисловии."
