DESCRIPTION:
Assisting the reader through steps designed to encourage recognition of the endless tirade of blame, criticism, and comparison heaped upon the self by the superego, he provides 30 simple practices to increase self-awareness, decrease incessant judgment, and release this overrated mental projection's stranglehold on heart and soul. Almaas, the reader is alerted to the fact that the author is a student of the Diamond Approach, yet the work stands perfectly well alone without previous introduction to the Ridhwan School. --Randall Cohan. Focusing on the development and structure of the superego, Brown explains how its supposed moral guidance is more than suspect, exposing it as the harsh, purely mental, often untruthful critic it is.
The most sophisticated book I've read on this topic. A Customer This book provides incredibly detailed information on the workings of the inner critic, and helps build awareness and a solid skill set for disarming it. It is very well organized; each chapter introduces a topic and then gives you exercises to work with the material. It had a very powerful impact on me, equivalent to a week-long spiritual retreat.. worth it theworld It seems like a repeat of so many topics that speak about mindfulness. If you've read a few books on Zen and mindfulness, then you're probably easily bored with new authors finding new ways to say, "pay attention!" This book steps away from the rest by using the ideas of Almaas and essence. This is a very useful book to read slowly and repeatedly. It does not contain any miracle methods for killing the superego, but it has lots of simple and useful exercises to explore the depth of your judge.I especially recommend this book. Great. No nonsense and succinct. Great book. A precise description of an internal critic mechanism and of a way to free oneself of this toxic voice. Though stories in the beginning of each chapter may not be to everyone liking and sometimes are slightly cheesy I appreciated them as they really did help me understand the depth of the critic reach. Some of the monologues I would not recognise as a critic atack. Thanks to the stories now I do.
Using straightforward language and examples form everyday life, Brown shows readers where the inner judge comes from, how it operates, why it trips us up, why there is a belief people need it, and more.
