Vježbom do sreće: Autogeni trening
Exercise to Happiness: Autogenic Training by Vladimir Gruden is a practical manual that introduces readers to autogenic training, a method of self-regulation of mind and body developed by German psychiatrist Johannes Schultz.
Gruden, a physician and expert in psychosomatic medicine, adapts this technique to a wider audience, offering a simple guide to achieving inner peace, reducing stress and improving health.
The book explains autogenic training as a series of exercises that, through concentration and autosuggestion, allow the body and mind to relax. It consists of six basic exercises: feeling heavy, warm, regulating the heartbeat, breathing, warmth in the abdomen and cooling the forehead. Gruden describes in detail how each exercise affects the autonomic nervous system, helping to relieve anxiety, insomnia and psychosomatic complaints. He emphasizes the importance of regular practice and patience, with practical advice for beginners, such as a quiet environment and a comfortable position.
The work is written in accessible language, with examples from practice and an emphasis on the connection between mental and physical health. Gruden also warns of the limitations of the method and advises consulting a doctor in more serious cases. Practicing to Happiness inspires readers to take control of their own well-being, making autogenic training an accessible tool for everyday life.
