What's so bad about doing something good for yourself?
We've all been there: the girlfriend who keeps getting the wrong partner, the bar of chocolate that cancels out a week of fasting or the desire to save and still spend money. But why do we get ourselves into situations that are not good for us?
Pablo Hagemeyer knows the conflict between the impulsive, selfish fulfilment of needs and the fear of criticism, rejection and failure, which inevitably leads to self-sabotage. And he knows that the cause is deeply rooted in narcissistic characteristics in all of us: We want to please, be seen and be rewarded. The psychiatrist shows how self-sabotage spreads unnoticed in our lives and what effects it has. And he gives hope that it is never too late to free ourselves from self-damaging structures and to recognise and resolve negative narcissistic patterns.
