Бремя страстей. О причинах внутренней тяжести

The Burden of Passions is a book about the inner heaviness that a person often feels without understanding its causes. It describes a state when everything appears well externally, but life loses joy and inner peace. Archpriest Andrey Tkachev examines passions not as abstract sins, but as stable states of the soul: irritation, condemnation, pride, and the craving for possession, which distort the perception of the world and become a source of spiritual fatigue. The book represents an honest and sober conversation about the causes of mental discontent, about the substitutions of spiritual life, and about repentance as a path to inner healing. It is addressed to readers seeking clarity, responsibility, and genuine depth of spiritual experience.
