The Intellectual Adventure. The Origins of Being

This is a new essential work by Igor Kalinauskas. According to the author, every human being is guided by three basic incentives: a desire to love and to be loved, a desire to rule and to serve, a desire to understand and to be understood. These three aspirations are connected with three types of relationships: relationship with yourself, relationship with the society and relationship with the world. Our happiness as we take it, our success and meaning of life are dependent on the quality of these relationships. For some people happiness comprises a quiet family life, a good salary and carefree summer holidays. Other people will readily exchange this lifestyle for an artistic life, an opportunity to be surrounded by fellow-thinkers or becoming a great inventor. Somebody else might dream of other things... In this book, Igor Kalinauskas speaks about his unique discoveries in profound human psychology, made over the past 30 years. The philosopher of today, he talks about life as we know it. His original approach and excellent style of writing will be much appreciated by the readers.
