Night vision: seeing ourselves through dark feelings

Stop feeling bad about yourself.. your suffering is not a sign of your defeat, but a proof of your intelligence and sharp awareness. In a world that pressures us to be "happy and grateful" all the time, the book "Night Vision" by philosopher Mariana Alessandri comes to offer a completely different approach. Instead of escaping from sorrow and distress, the book invites us to learn how to "see in the dark." Inside this book, you will discover: Philosophy of darkness: how thinkers like Kierkegaard and Audrey Lord exploited their negative feelings to reach deeper truths about existence. Beyond the constraint of "self-help": why we should stop viewing our dark moods as psychological disorders, and start seeing them as an authentic part of our humanity. Night vision: how dark moods give us hidden aspects of wit, clarity, and warm closeness to ourselves and others. A journey to reconcile with oneself: a powerful and intimate book that frees you from the feeling of "shame" for not being optimistic enough. Integrating philosophy and psychology: offering a solid academic perspective in a humane style that touches the heart.
