Tearing Down Walls

The book explores the concept of an inner wall that individuals construct to hide their true selves, or "shadow," from the world, particularly from significant figures like mothers. This wall, referred to as the "persona," emerges during socialization as a defense mechanism to protect one's vulnerabilities. The narrative encourages readers to recognize and dismantle these barriers to embrace their authentic identities, drawing a parallel to the historical context of Berlin's wall.
