I think the book is primarily addressed to people who are searching, active, striving to improve the quality of their lives, but who now and then “stumble” over mental difficulties. For example, if you are not yet morally ready to seek help from a specialist, perhaps I will help remove irrational anxiety and some prejudices regarding the culture of seeking help from psychiatrists and psychologists.
