Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Jeremy on September 28, 2024

Lovely, but please read with caution. Please, please, please keep the analytical part of your brain turned on. I appreciate what Mello has to say, but some of the wording rubbed me the wrong way. This book is great if you're reading from a place of wholeness and you don't take every word literally. Ho......more

When the student is ready, the teacher will come. I read de Mello's Awareness twice. I found the insights in that to be eye-opening but did not sometimes love the delivery, which feels a little aged. This book on the other hand hit home. It has Awareness's message without some of the theatrics of del......more

Goodreads review by Kathy on March 24, 2022

This book is somewhat of a guide to total acceptance of oneself and others.No need to strive for perfection because there is no such thing. Dr Mello was a Jesuit Priest and his book was actually banned after being deemed " incompatible" with the catholic faith. Which for me, made it more interesting......more

Short, spiritual, lots of Buddhist teachings but says “Jesus” a lot too. I just mentally re-phrase that and then bam - the advice is still useful. It was a free download on audible and I’ll probably listen to it again sometime when I’m trying to get over myself.......more
