About this title

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 DeMello that helps you rediscover the life you were meant to live.

About the Author

Anthony (“Tony”) De Mello was a Jesuit priest born in Bombay, India in 1931. He is regarded as one of the foremost spiritual teachers of the twentieth century, respected widely for his groundbreaking and enduring work that integrates Western and Eastern spirituality. De Mello founded the Sadhana Institute in India and is the author of bestselling masterpieces Awareness and The Way to Love, along with 11 other books that have been translated into 21 languages and have sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. His large body of work continues to have an impact beyond his untimely death in 1987, influencing some of our era’s most acclaimed spiritual teachers, including Rhonda Byrne, Eckhart Tolle, Neil Strauss, Adyashanti, Thomas Moore, and Paulo Coelho. Visit the DeMello Spirituality website at https://demellospirituaity.com.

Don Joseph Goewey is the director of the Center for Spiritual Exchange, the agency founded by Anthony De Mello. Don managed the Department of Psychiatry at Stanford University Medical School and also directed the Center for Attitudinal Healing that pioneered a psycho-spiritual approach to overcoming catastrophic life events; in 2005, the Center was awarded the AMA’s Excellence in Medicine citation. He has worked with people in some of the most stressful situations on earth—from refugees of war to people facing life-threatening illnesses. Don also participated in a think tank that integrated psychology, spirituality, and neuroscience into an approach for resolving the reactive patterns caused by fear conditioning.

Don is the author of Mystic Cool: The Neuroplasticity of Attitude and The End of Stress, both of which facilitate the shift in mindset that changes brain structure to quiet stress reactions and amplify the higher brain function that predicts greater success and happiness in life. Don is also the editor of the works by the late Anthony De Mello, including Stop Fixing Yourself: Wake Up, All is Well,  A Year with Anthony De Mello: Waking Up Week by Week, and the  Awareness Deck: 108 Cards for Selection and Inspiration.
