Book Description
Every year, Americans spend more than $10 billion on self-help products. Psychologist and philosophers agree, however, that self-help makes inexcusable mistakes and is incapable of creating happiness, success, and fulfillment. Stop Chasing Carrots communicates these mistakes in an easily understandable language and develops a philosophy of life that can create better results. Stop Chasing Carrots is the first book that creates a philosophy of life based on scientific evidence. Replacing self-help materialism, Eastern spiritualism/minimalism, and insightful but too complex psychological studies with an accessible, balanced, and realistic concept, Chasing Carrots enables its readers to lead a life based on proven ideas, not on wishful thinking.

Chasing Carrots: Navigating the Allure and Pressure of Societal Expectations
Author: Charles Nehme
Publisher: Charles Nehme
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 51
Book Description
In a world driven by ambition, success, and the relentless pursuit of happiness, we often find ourselves feeling like donkeys chasing a carrot dangled in front of our noses. This metaphor captures the essence of our daily lives, as we strive to attain the promises and rewards that society lays before us. We become ensnared in a cycle of craving, forever reaching for that elusive carrot, hoping it will bring us fulfillment and contentment. This book, "Chasing Carrots: Navigating the Allure and Pressure of Societal Expectations," is an exploration of the myriad ways in which society shapes our desires, aspirations, and behaviors. It delves into the subtle and not-so-subtle forces that drive us to pursue certain goals, often at the expense of our authentic selves. We live in a world where consumerism, social media validation, and the fear of missing out have become ubiquitous. The pressure to conform to cultural norms, achieve ever-higher levels of education, and climb the corporate ladder can be overwhelming. We are bombarded with messages that tell us happiness lies in material possessions, external validation, and the constant pursuit of success. But is this really the path to fulfillment? Are we truly content when we're constantly striving for more, when we're forever chasing that next carrot, whether it's a promotion, a new gadget, or a fleeting moment of social media fame? In the pages that follow, we will embark on a journey to uncover the reasons why society exerts such a powerful influence over our lives. We will examine the subtle ways in which societal expectations shape our thoughts, decisions, and actions. Through stories, research, and reflection, we will seek to understand the impact of these forces on our well-being and sense of self. Chasing Carrots" is not a book that offers quick fixes or easy answers. Instead, it invites you to question the narratives that surround us and encourages you to find your own path to a more authentic and meaningful life. It is a call to awareness, a reminder that we have the power to choose our own values, desires, and aspirations. As we embark on this journey together, let us remember that the pursuit of happiness should not be reduced to a relentless chase after an ever-receding carrot. It should be a quest for a life that reflects our deepest values, fosters genuine connections, and nourishes our inner selves. May this book serve as a guide, a source of reflection, and a catalyst for change as we navigate the complexities of modern society and strive to live lives that are truly our own. With curiosity and compassion, Charles Nehme

“Read this book and experience the freedom to create your reality.” —Deepak Chopra, MD, author of Total Meditation Don’t believe everything your mind tells you. Are you a chronic overthinker? Do you obsess to the point of feeling anxious, hopeless, angry, or stressed out? Have you ever tried to “think your way out” of one of these negative thought spirals, only to fall in deeper?

Buddhist Practice on Western Ground

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
This is the first book to offer Buddhist meditators a comprehensive and sympathetic examination of the differences between Asian and Western cultural and spiritual values. Harvey B. Aronson presents a constructive and practical assessment of common conflicts experienced by Westerners who look to Eastern spiritual traditions for guidance and support—and find themselves confused or disappointed. Issues addressed include: • Our cultural belief that anger should not be suppressed versus the Buddhist teaching to counter anger and hatred • Our psychotherapists' advice that attachment is the basis for healthy personal development and supportive relationships versus the Buddhist condemnation of attachments as the source of suffering • Our culture's emphasis on individuality versus the Asian emphasis on interdependence and fulfillment of duties, and the Buddhist teachings on no-self, or egolessness
