About this listen

What if the ability to laugh at yourself were not a weakness, but a hidden strength?

This book explores self-irony as a rare art of survival—an inner freedom that does not erase pain, but softens its weight, allowing us to breathe even in moments of failure, doubt, and imperfection.

Through philosophy, psychology, cultural insight, and lived experience, Self-Irony as a Way to Survive invites the listener to see self-irony not as mockery or self-denial, but as a form of quiet courage. It teaches us how to meet life’s heaviness with lightness, to face flaws without shame, and to transform vulnerability into resilience.

Tender, thoughtful, and at times gently humorous, this is not a book of quick fixes but a companion for anyone who wishes to live with clarity and dignity. It shows that to laugh at oneself is not to fall, but to stand more freely—stronger, softer, and more human.
