What if our modern obsession with identity and self-improvement is actually hurting rather than helping our psychological wellbeing? And what can we do to truly alleviate our suffering?
If you've ever struggled with stress, low mood or a loss of meaning, you have likely been told to engage in self-help. But how do we help ourselves without truly understanding what the "self" is or how our relationship with it causes us problems?
In this compassionate book, Dr Tom Davies gently invites you to consider the elements that define who you really are.
In Part One, get to know your self. From the ground up, discover what the self really is, how it links to identity and how self-obsession is central to the human condition and the psychological pain we experience.
In Part Two, overcome self-obsession. Free yourself from your psychological prison and learn how to live a life full of joy and meaning - a life that you deserve.
Dr Tom Davies combines his knowledge of the medical, psychological and philosophical to invite you to consider a radical change in perspective that will transform your life and offer a real, lasting solution to anxiety, grief and depression.
