Title : Of Flesh and Soul - Boris Cyrulnik - book

• Summary

We can discover within ourselves, and those around us, the means that allow us to return to life and move forward, while retaining the memory of our wounds. The paths of life lie on a narrow ridge, between all forms of vulnerability. To be invulnerable would mean impossible to hurt. The only protection consists of avoiding the shocks that destroy, as much as avoiding over-protecting ourselves from them. Each age has its strengths and weaknesses, and the unwounded moments of existence are explained by our ability to control, even overcome, what, in us, is a matter of constant reorganization, of the biological, the emotional, and the social and cultural environment. Happiness is never pure. Why must a burst of happiness so often provoke the anxiety of losing it? Without suffering, could we love? Without anxiety and emotional loss, would we need security? The world would be bland and we might not want to live in it," BC This book establishes a new biology of attachment. It explains why, for each of us, life is a permanent conquest, never fixed in advance. Neither our genes nor our background prevent us from evolving. Everything remains possible. A message of hope, full of tenderness and humanity. Boris Cyrulnik is a neuropsychiatrist. He is also a teaching director at the University of Toulon. He is the author of numerous books, all of which have been huge successes, including A Wonderful Misfortune, The Ugly Ducklings, and Talking About Love on the Edge of the Abyss.
