Die Blume des Glücks

Humans are always interconnected and dependent on one another. Absolute autonomy does not exist. However, those who do not develop sufficient independence, perhaps due to an overly strong attachment to their parents, remain psychologically immature and cannot realize their potential. The renowned Jungian analyst and psychotherapist Verena Kast interprets five fairy tales, including "The Iron Stove," "The Flower of Happiness," and "The Golden Bird," which illustrate ways to break free from an excessive attachment to one's father or mother and to overcome insecurity and resignation.
