The current socio-cultural context invites us to “not trust:” people who are close to us (from loved ones to simple acquaintances), situations, contexts, daily choices. Trust in others continues to be very low and the number of people satisfied with relationships to family and friends decreases. Why? What is lacking in relationships between people? Why is all this distrust circulating? What effects does it have? How to intervene? The awareness of the power and value of trust, however, is fundamental for the development of the person and his or her relationships. This book wants to start a reflection on the meaning and value of trust in the family, at school, in friendships and at work, where suspicion and mistrust have long dominated. It will investigate three psychological aspects described as “sport activities”: psychological mountaineering that looks at human relationships with spirituality; psychological surfing that deals with behavior’s practical, rational strategies; psychological diving that deals with the deep, unconscious aspect of our attitude. The text is divided into three parts: the first part is dedicated to the birth of trust and the elements that make it up; the second one gives space to the various contexts in which trust develops; the third one explains how to activate trust more effectively.
