What is the real cause of unhappiness, and what is the cure?
Few people have the courage or insight to see the truth behind our suffering: chronic negative emotions.
Too often, we wake up one day and realize unhappily that we dont know who we are. We realize that life is slowly wearing us down, one step at a time, and painfully face the fact that we simply dont know how we lost ourselves, or more importantly, how we can find ourselves once again.
The cause for this, as Masters explains, is simple: fear, guilt, anxiety, despair, tension, confusion, and other emotional reactions exert a powerful and cumulative hypnotic spell. In this spell, we lose our true selves in a maze of hazy, unseen forces - often never to be found again. We painfully realize that we are simply unhappy - and have no idea why, how we lost our peace of mind, or what we can do to become happy again.
Roy Masters knows - the cause . . . and the cure. The remedy to unhappiness, once understood, is simple but profound: know your real self - and Roy shows you how. In this powerfully effective and practical book, he explains the simple remedy which strikes the cause of unhappiness at the root.
This book can save lives, and can save you from spending thousands on drugs or years in therapy. The principles in this book, uniquely suited for modern times - yet rooted in the wisdom of the ages - have dramatically transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands already.
To millions of people, Roy Masters is a daily voice of sanity and conscience.
Born April 2, 1928, by the age of four, young Roy was already aware of the plight of human existence. "I remember looking down upon the street from the window of our apartment, and watching the people walking back and forth from their homes to their work," he recalls. I clearly remember the expressions of unhappiness on their faces and thinking to myself, 'There must be more to life than this.'"
Masters' father died of a heart attack when Roy was fifteen. In 1948, Roy left England for South Africa, where he worked as a diamond cutter for a little over a year. At age 24, Masters married his wife, Ann, and eventually settled down in Houston, Texas, where he established the Institute of Hypnosis. In 1961, Roy had become aware, as a result of his work with hypnosis, that the reason why he was so successsful with his patients was that he was actually DE-hypnotizing them. Needless to say, he was eager to share his discovery with as large an audience as possible.
In 1963, Roy formed the Foundation of Human Understanding a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people resolve their problems using the knowledge Roy had discovered. Soon, he decided to buy a small amount of air time and go on the radio. The program was a success from the very beginning.
Today, Roy continues to spread his message not only to his five children and (at last count) eleven grandchildren, but to millions who listen to his radio show every day.
The Foundation has achieved modest success by worldly standards. But for the thousands whose lives have been changed through their contact with the Foundation, however, the organization has achieved the greatest success possible.
