This audiobook explores how human mentality—our ingrained habits of perception and emotional logic—shapes conflict in families, workplaces, and politics. It shows how changing the way we see can change the way we live together.
At its core lies the idea of antihabitus: the capacity to step beyond automatic reactions, cultural scripts, and inherited patterns. Building on Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus, the author expands it into a dynamic view of mentality—a structure of perception, rhythm, and meaning that governs behavior often beyond our awareness. By learning to recognize these hidden systems, we stop blaming individuals and begin to see conflicts as collisions of mental worlds.

The audiobook offers:

• Tools for identifying mental automatisms;
• Methods for turning resentment into understanding;
• Practices for families, organizations, and societies;
• Techniques for daily awareness of perception;
• An ethical foundation for respecting difference without self-erasure.

In an age of polarization, cultural divides, and identity clashes, this work teaches a new literacy of perception—the ability to notice, rename, and re-choose. It is not a theory of tolerance but a practice of freedom: understanding how influence works, engaging with one’s roots, and learning the art of thoughtful disagreement—without destruction, contempt, or fear.
Among its pages are over thirty personal, business, political and social cases showing how mentality fuels conflict—and how a shift in mindset has resolved, or even prevented, catastrophe, including the threat of nuclear war.
