Sommario/riassunto |
|
Human beings have the ability to think consciously about themselves, which allows them, among other things, to imagine themselves in the future, anticipate the consequences of their behaviour and plan ahead. This can sometimes cause problems and the author suggests ways to approach self-reflection in a positive manner. |
