Spectators of a world that exalts individuality: the narcissistic society

"When wealth occupies a higher position than wisdom, when fame is more admired than dignity and when success is more important than self-respect, it means that culture itself overestimates the image and must be considered narcissistic". (Lowen TO.)

The term narcissism has now become part of the common lexicon, has become a hashtag, often acts as a frame for descriptions of successful businesses in the various areas of daily life and seems almost a patented term to describe our time.

Londa Hokusai PsyOnlus Blog

In psychology, the Resilience it is configured as a process of mutation that allows hostilities to be transformed into opportunities for renewal and to structure alternative paths, avoiding or canceling those that have become impracticable and enemy.

Dreams creatures of the mind: theories and functions of the dream experience

Since ancient times man has been wondering aboutorigin and meaning of dreams, being attracted by its intimate and fascinating nature, but intimidated by the halo of mystery in which it has always been wrapped.

Anthropological studies report that some tribes believed that during dreams the soul left the body to travel the world, and that it would return only upon awakening. For this reason it was forbidden to wake people up suddenly, because the soul could be in another place. Even today the Masai tribes of Kenya and the Bedouins of the Nile use to wrap their heads with a turban during sleep to prevent the soul from flying away.
