Summary
Salman Akhtar: The Psychology of Kindness
Courage, Resilience, Gratitude, Generosity, Forgiveness and Sacrifice
The book The Psychology of Kindness consists of two parts: the first deals with positive traits and contains chapters on courage, resilience and gratitude, while the second deals with positive actions in chapters on generosity, forgiveness and sacrifice. Together, these six chapters form a coherent gestalt of relational scenarios that provide the richness of human experience. The book offers socio-clinical reflections that temper Freud's view that human beings are essentially "bad" and that any goodness they can produce is largely defensive. Explaining the origins, dynamics, social satisfaction, and clinical benefits of courage, resilience, gratitude, generosity, forgiveness, and sacrifice, this book illuminates a corner of the human experience that is insufficiently understood by psychoanalysts and other mental health professionals. On the one hand, it would be very good for psychoanalysis if it softened its determinism and pessimism by opening up to the original qualities and goodness of people. On the other hand, it may be important for the general public to think and talk about goodness because of global tendencies in media reporting focused on crimes and gossip, because of the general crisis of morality in the age of superficial identities and frequent relocations, but also because of the almost complete disappearance of optimism from social life in Serbia. from the foreword by Aleksandar Dimitrijević
