Looking For Your Self In All The Wrong Places: How To Recognize Your Authentic Self and Live On Your Terms

We live in a world where people are chronically dependent on others for their happiness. To fill up the emptiness and confusion, we seek answers like an addict. Looming around every corner is the “next thing” that can fix us or cure us, all the while deepening our dependence on others for our value and self-worth. How do we do this? We look outside for something that can only be found inside. We look to social media, friends, family, religion, the government and society in general to tell us who we ought to be. As if somehow the prescriptive “rules” offered by others will illuminate the missing answer to our deep sense of feeling lost, incomplete or unhappy. Yet with all these outside influences, the answer to what we truly want can never be fully revealed unless we are willing to dig deeper. After all, happiness, as they say, is an inside job. Mental health has tried to answer this existential question for ages. Even with all the information out there, somehow, in 2019 it still slips through people’s fingers. The simple truth is that when someone really wants to define their life, speak their truth, stand on their own feet, make their own decisions or create their chosen relationships no one can do the work for them. It is only by doing this work that people find the one thing they’re truly seeking- freedom. Knowing thyself is the work that leads to personal independence. When you know what makes you happy, what you truly desire and the lengths you will go to create these things, you are truly free. Looking For Your Self In All The Wrong Places will teach you how to be yourself, live life on your own terms and be authentically you.
