We live in the post-truth era, when the techniques of manipulating our consciousness have reached an unprecedented level. Under the guise of various shows and media materials, political marketers sell people wars, terrorism, enemies, threats, blood, dirt, uncertainty and a sense of greatness at the same time. In the post-truth space, everyone can find facts that will confirm any hypothesis and any ideas about the world. Andrey Movchan is one of the most famous and experienced top managers of the Russian financial market. In the book, he gives a balanced assessment of important events in Russia and the world in recent years. His opinion sounds tough and uncompromising, but this is the main message of the author: having learned to hear and adequately evaluate someone else's inconvenient or incomprehensible opinion, we will be able to break through the information noise and live consciously.

"We live not by reason, but by feelings, we need positive (sharp, exciting) sensations and emotions, we avoid negative impressions (boring, depressive). We do not want a feeling of hunger, we want to be in a state of constant excitement. Bread and circuses. Until real hunger sets in, we want only excitement — only circuses — and nothing more."
