In this thought-provoking book, Laura Tappata brilliantly guides
the reader from a description of the existential problem of
psychological addictions to a possible solution leading to a
potentially positive outcome for the individual. The central theme
of the book is anchored in the dismal nature of "post-modern
identity" with a focus on searching for meaning in what we are and
who we are. This identity is characterised as being narcissistic
and fragile, suggesting from the outset that we need to somehow
strive for a stronger and more well-defined self in order to,
first, survive and, then, possibly thrive emotionally. Living in
this post-modern world naturally leads to a superficial existence
and the seemingly blind quest of acquiring non-essential and
meaningless things designed to bolster our ill-defined, weak and
vulnerable self. Although this leads to a false sense of happiness,
it does not generate true contentment let alone a sense of
well-being. As such, many of us are left to drift with few
essential values, certainties and stable points of reference. This
book attempts to lead the reader on the path from "the post-modern
dependence on psychological addictions" to freedom, the expression
of one's identity and a true sense of well-being.
