★From philosopher and bestselling author Alexander Korol.
★Not a book of information—one of feeling. Korol recreates how a creative person sees the world and explains what “creative” means in terms of sensation, viewpoint, drive, and inspiration.
★Described by readers as a “soul first-aid kit,” it has pulled many out of creative slumps.

This is not a transfer of facts but an emotional resonance. Through a creator’s eyes you’ll relearn the world—what a creative person feels, how she observes, what propels her, what ignites her. No dense theory, only honest fragments of self-conversation: how others live, how they grow tired, how they misplace purpose. The prose feels spontaneous yet lands on actionable insight—listen closely and your pulse quickens, childhood warmth returns.

If you’re low, aimless, convinced life has gone grey, and you can’t recall the last time you cried at beauty, this book will haul you out of the mud. It offers no standard answers—only the feeling itself: first you cry, then you laugh, then you return to work with clear eyes.

Alexander Korol – writer and philosopher, born in Saint Petersburg. In 2006 he began a diary of reflections on perennial human questions: why children stop listening to parents, why people deceive each other, why we avoid what we love, and countless other relational riddles. In 2008 he collected these entries into his first book, *Answers*, and adopted his maternal surname Korol as a pen name. All of his books remain free to read online; by 2018 he had published more than ten such digital volumes.

His first printed book, *Corridor* (2018), became an instant bestseller. There he replaces traditional social strata with the concept of “frequencies” determined by everyday elements—music, film, clothing, people—and describes how one moves between them.

Also in 2018 he published *Paradox*, a collection of strange yet meaningful personal events, each chapter a standalone vignette. Its 2021 sequel, *Paradox 2.0*, continues the form.

In 2022 Korol released the two-volume *Without Love*, which sold out in pre-order. It dissects human vice and virtue, offering readers a mirror for their own inner weather. Vice is framed simply as “lack of love,” virtue as “love,” and the book is a field guide to the soul.
