A serious but simple and modern work on the defense mechanisms we adopt to manage small or large psychological traumas.
These mechanisms are necessary and useful to a certain extent, but often dominate our lives, limiting us to a comfortable prison.
The author presents mechanisms such as denial, repression, idealization, etc., and how we use them, but most importantly, shows us how to bypass them so that they do not hinder or restrict us.

One of the greatest advantages of the book is the way the author introduces us to human nature, with love for the positive and negative aspects of our character and for our strengths and weaknesses.
With realism and subtle humor, with references to everyday life, with many examples and stories, it is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand themselves and those around them.

The book "Why do I do this?" lays the foundation for understanding the thoughts and influences we have received, everything that lies behind our choices and actions.
Our mental health is a dynamic state that we must take care of throughout our lives, and this work gives us a practical tool for this purpose.
