I was becoming mediocre, like so many. And so I decided not to practice the psychotherapeutic profession anymore. Not for failure or incompetence but because I didn’t have the heart. When after a conference or seminar to present my books, they ask me why I interrupted professional practice, I always respond that I am not able to work without heart and without soul. I went toward writing. For a while now, I haven’t had faith in the economy. I’ve stopped consuming. I live off...
Read MoreTECHNOLOGY WILL ENSLAVE US
Contemporary society, above all Western society, is based less and less on traditional theological values- religious, humanistic, artistic or spiritual. Our society increasingly trusts the power of science -or better- technology which by now guides the projects, actions and thoughts of human beings today.

Because he fears solitude he will always desperately seek to have someone near him. Above...
Read MoreSOCIETY OF FEAR
With time I have understood that society, at least the western one, is based on fear. People that live in it are unhappy, unsatisfied, and they continue to be it. In many cases they lead a depressing life. They are always on the defensive. They don’t ever let themselves go completely and deeply, not the least of all in their intimate relationships, where they are only able to reach physical, sexual unions believing themselves to be the maximum of openness and of love, while...
Read MoreTODAY’S CULTURE
TODAY’S CULTURE Our competitive and superficial culture tries to make us believe that life is meaningful only when we become rich, powerful, and above all when we aren’t suffering. This is such that the person that doesn’t reach some kind of success feels frustrated, depressed, unimportant and valueless. Today, personal identity is built outside of the person, on top of our exterior image, on our appearance, on illusion; so much so that characters have substituted real...
