The engine of the world | Review The Engine of the World: World Youth Skills Day
This essay, defined by the author himself as “professional and personal non-linear autobiography” collects convictions and impressions matured over the fifty years that have passed, due to his work, in close contact with children, teenagers and parents.
One of these beliefs is precisely that i feelings are the engine of the world. All feelings mentioned, including hope e love, are studied trying to identify the main characteristics of adolescent and youthful growth.
To be able to do so, however, Charms he had to break some dogmas of psychotherapy. One of these is to assign the cause of any other situation, event or relationship to the past. The reason is explained by him himself when he remembers numerous children asking adults for the ability to take an interest in theirs, however much they are able here I’m. So he begins to deal with the mystery of this present:
“They much prefer to think that their problem arises now, arises in the immediacy of the facts and arises above all from the perception that there is a time called the future that is not remote, that of retirement or permanent work, but what will happen tonight or in two days. “
He also goes on to underline how much the present is actually closely related to future and how the old generations have punished the new ones:
“The present for the adolescent is inhabited by a very near future. For the adolescent, the real trauma is the future, the future that is in the present, that is, growth, adolescence. “
It also focuses on how much theeducation of the youngest is based on and founded on the past, on what happened and not on what could happen:
“We should begin to teach the future, not the theoretical future but the real future, that of the planet, of the organization of society, of work, of the family, of communications. What will the future of young people be like? “

Seen from the eyes of a psychiatrist, the situation of young people seems to be more criticism than it can seem. Adults have stopped wondering what young people think, worrying about their abilities to emphasize only the need who have to bring the new generations to high levels, unable to understand how deleterious this behavior is.
