Why are people unhappy? What makes people tick? Where do our thoughts and feelings come from? How can we find real happiness?
In this explosive and revolutionary work, Roy Masters introduces possibly the most advanced psychological system known to man - Freud and the whole of modern psychology included.
This introductory work explores the root cause of our unhappiness and suffering - living from our false self - and explains the cure: self-knowledge, brought about by a simple exercise of objective awareness which restores our true identity.
Every human being is searching for the same thing: real happiness. Yet as Thoreau observed, "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." While we all anxiously search for this elusive state of happiness, the reality is that most of us are continually haunted by fear, doubt, confusion, anxiety, guilt, tension, and suffering through our entire lives.
But occasionally, we glimpse that there might be something higher - a more real state of living, of true fulfillment.
But how can we find it? How can we avoid a life of quiet desperation?
In the modern world flooded with multitudes of therapies, gurus, drugs, medicines, and trendy psychological techniques, this simple but powerful system has for decades been helping hundreds of thousands of people find the happiness and confidence they had been searching for all of their lives.
Discover the system and philosophy that has helped millions overcome drugs, alcoholism, and other various addictions, heal childhood and sexual traumas, solve relationship and marital difficulties, and answer personal problems of every kind.
This book may hold the answer you have been looking for.
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.
