WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT. What are books by Sigmund Freud, Eric Berne, Frederick Perls, Carl Jung, etc., about? These books are about us, people. About what we have inside of us and about what we should do to stop suffering and become happy and successful. But if these classical books on psychology can be of such great use then why so few of us manage to read them? Why don't we apply the ideas in our everyday life? Probably it happens so because the texts are too complicated, they are written in a difficult language and do not contain any clear instructions of how to use the knowledge in practice. And also because the modern person, especially a young one, prefers using contemporary «gadgets» here and now instead of studying semiconductor physics, chemistry, electrodynamics and other sciences in order to understand how and why his/her mobile phone works. The book by a talented business-coach, Elena Samsonova, «The New Technology of Managing your Life», is also about people and their lives. However, this book is written for modern people who are used to receiving high-quality information, quickly analyzing it, making decisions and acting immediately. This book is based on the original theory of roles suggested by the author. Using the notion of a «role» (a dynamic informational system) and the notion of a «personality» (a dynamic role system) the author explains in simple terms the reasons of any person's psychological problems and suggests simple solutions which can be of great use in everyday life. After reading this book you will be able to understand and solve most of the problems in personal life independently without consulting any specialists. The book contains a number of examples taken from real life which illustrate every theoretical statement and help to understand the technologies. This book could be called «Human.
