In difficult times we realize. The life revolves around the symbols of power and social position. The career is elusive entity. The fame of a chance. Wealth unstable.

From this point of view, of little theories are formulated - and taught - in business schools and universities. What really counts are the human relationships that make a difference and create meaning.

Reflecting on four key pillars of existence - Sex, Money, Happiness and Death - and thanks to his experience as a clinician, psychoanalyst, coach and teacher, Kets de Vries leads the reader to discover the fears and aspirations that belong to each person and indicate a way of overcoming conflicts through knowledge of themselves and build meaningful relationships with those around us.

The original and unique perspective with which they addressed the topics of this book is a fascinating journey into the mind of modern man, along which each player (manager but not only) can find points of contact with his own personal experience and deal with new awareness of life's challenges.
