Summary

Take a look around and see if you can find just one completely happy person, someone at peace with themselves, someone who is fearless and free from insecurity, depression, lack, and worry. You would be lucky if you found one in a hundred thousand. The irony is we were born happy; we lost touch with it. We were born surrounded by a divinity of peace, joy, and love; we lost sight of it. It's as if we've been hypnotized to see what is not there and not see what is there.

We were brainwashed by society into building our life on the unquestioned belief that without money, power, success, approval, romance, etc., we cannot be happy. It's a false belief that has us constantly striving, constantly focused on what we don't have, constantly at the mercy of things and people as we try desperately to make life conform to society's formula for happiness, only to discover it offers nothing more in the way of a happy life than temporary respites from the fear of failing.

Suppose there is a way of waking up from all that, where what is false and neurotic within you would drop with little or no effort on your part and your eyes would open to the reality of joy surrounding you. Here it is: Stop Fixing Yourself, the new book by Anthony De Mello that helps you rediscover the life you were meant to live.

Interesting pondering

I thought I'd get a bit more action in this book & there's a lot of refwrence to God. Interesting ideas though, good for bedtime listening.

Not fantastic.

This book has some in great points and I got a few things out of it (thank you), however it doesn’t go into depth or really give a solution. It feels more like a trailer or a preview of an actual program/situation.

Important lessons in the self-help era

Overall a very good book, though the audio quality could have been better. I loved the message of how your life is better than you think.

Enlightening & existential

The performer sounds like Alan Johnson from Peep Show and I love it. The book was incredible

Author died 1987. But he mentions smartphones!?

perhaps its just been updated for a contemporary audience. but I'm suspicious of who actually wrote this
