Kind Companion. Czuła przewodniczka (wersja w języku angielskim) (e-book)

This book is about finding our way back to ourselves. That is our shared task – yours and mine. I feel you are already on this path; I am on mine.

I wrote this book so that, for a while, we can walk it together.

– Natalia de Barbaro.

Why do we not always live the way we would like to? Why do we often not do the things that are good for us – even when we know what would truly serve us? Why do we cling to old patterns of behaviour that feel alien to us, as if our lives were being directed by some harsh inner guide? Why do we turn away from our true selves?

This book is about finding a way back to our inner truth. There are countless books and audiobooks that promise to support our personal growth, boost our confidence, and enrich both our private and professional lives. Yet how many of them look at women’s experience with as much tenderness as this book by psychologist Natalia de Barbaro?

Feeling trapped in roles imposed on us by family, culture, and community, we are often afraid to step out of the old, self-defeating patterns that keep us stuck. We choose stagnation over rejection, the safety of the familiar over the fear of the new. Surrounded by advice, opinions, and criticisms – even those offered in good faith and with the best intentions – we lose touch with our own voice. Perhaps, like so many of us, you long for a companion on your path as a woman – someone who will help you see that you don’t need to fit any particular ideal to live life that feels meaningful and joyful.

In Kind Companion, Natalia de Barbaro shows how to draw wisely on women’s intuition and, by doing so, how to rediscover your own inner kind companion.
