We often realize that as adults we live our lives to make our parents happy. We rarely notice it directly. It happens that uncomfortable questions or emotions or, on the contrary, a lack of emotions alert us to this. Questions we face from time to time are, for example, „Why do I do what I do?“ or „Am I satisfied...
“It’s not true,” said Klára, “that proper scrambled eggs need a bit of sour cream to stay smooth. But you got narked because it’s your turn to cook.” Klára raised her voice.“That’s not true at all. Can you hear yourself? Can you hear what you’re saying? All I said was I don’t mind adding cream if it pleases...
“And is there anything wrong with me wanting my husband to change a bit?” “What do you mean – change”, I asked the weeping Jindřiška, who sank into a large armchair next to me. “Well, I want him to be nicer, more attentive and also to talk to me more. I want to know what the coaching can do for all that...
My American friend didn’t understand the Czech word “řešit”, which means to solve! “I don’t get it – in Bohemia people sit around in pubs and everybody is “solving” something. Girls are “solving” the problem of their diets while eating cream cakes. Boys are “solving” political issues as they drink one beer after another. Mums...
Do you, like me, get wound up by your friends, who from as early as October keep asking you how many Christmas presents you’ve already bought? By shopkeepers who from the first of November 1 start switching on alluring lights which like a will-o‘-the-wisp will entice you into running up exorbitant shopping bills? Don’t panic! There...

Not many people would believe the reason why I originally went to study drama. I love life and I adore literature. It seemed to me that dramatic art somewhat connected the two, so I could live different lives on stage and at the same time work with intelligent texts. I’ve always enjoyed singing, dancing, drawing and particularly speaking and...
Since I sincerely encourage you guys to cry, since I teach you to cry, I’ll tell you why and how I cry. Because once I get going, I cry at full throttle, I cry so much that the expression “sob your heart out” becomes literarily true. Once I start crying, I most often cry for love. I cry in gratitude for the love, which...
Nemám ráda, když se někdo tváří jako guru. Nelíbí se mi komunikace guruů, nezdá se mi jejich maska, že něco pochopili a teď to tlumočí těm méně zasvěceným. Nikdy jsem nepřilnula k idolům. Díky své práci jsem nejednoho gurua měla možnost potkat zblízka. Díky své práci jsem koučovala jejich manželky. Pochopila jsem, že propast mezi ideologií a realitou může být nesmírně hluboká.
Why do we act like lunatics and keep climbing, crawling, trudging, slogging and trekking up high hills? We yearn to see the view from the top, a perspective.
