Sample Book Insights: #1 The works of Russian authors Dostoevsky and Chekhov meant a lot to me when I was younger. I later realized that these authors’ writings were flawlessly executed examples of the disassociative mechanism. #2 The author describes how he was able to overcome his fears of his father by writing him a letter. But he needed an enlightened witness to help him do so. #3 I have also noticed similar parallels in the life of Friedrich Nietzsche, who suffered from a multitude of complaints throughout his life. If someone had helped Nietzsche to admit the knowledge stored in his body, he might not have had to lose his mind to remain blind to his own truth for the rest of his life. #4 The belief that children can be harmed by being spanked or slapped from time to time is widespread. Many people believe their own lives are the best proof of this. But the truth is that the effects of these types of discipline are not easily reversed.
