{"product_id":"9781684032174","title":"The No-Self Help Book: Forty Reasons to Get Over Your Self and Find Peace of Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe No-Self Help Book\u003c\/i\u003e is the first to take the “self” out of “self-help.” Written by a clinical psychologist and student of Eastern philosophy, this handy little guide offers a radical solution to anyone struggling with self-doubt, self-esteem, and self-defeating thoughts: “\u003ci\u003eno-self\u003c\/i\u003e help.” By breaking free of your own self-limiting beliefs, you’ll discover the unlimited potential of who you \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e are. It’s time to get over your self!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is an insidious, global identity theft occurring that has robbed people of their very recognition of their true selves. The culprit—indeed the master\u003ci\u003emind\u003c\/i\u003e of this crisis—has committed the inside job of creating and promoting the idea that we are all a separate self, which is the chief source of our daily distress and dissatisfaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo more than a narrative of personhood pieced together from disparate neural activations, the self we believe ourselves to be in our own minds—although quite capable of being affirming, inspiring, and constructive—often spews forth a distressing flow of worry and second-guessing, blaming and shaming, regret and guilt. This book offers an antidote to this epidemic of stolen identity, isolation, and self-deprecation: no-self (a concept known in Buddhist philosophy as \u003ci\u003eanatta\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eanatman\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe No-Self Help Book\u003c\/i\u003e turns the idea of self-improvement on its head, arguing that the key to well-being lies not in the relentless pursuit of bettering one’s self but in the recognition of the self as a false identity born in the mind. Rather than identifying with a small, relative sense of self, this book encourages you to embrace a liberating alternative—an expansive awareness that is flexible and open to experiencing life as an ongoing and ever-changing process, without attachment to personal outcomes or storylines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo help you make this leap from self to no-self, the book provides forty bite-sized chapters full of clever and inspiring insights based in positive psychology and non-duality—a philosophy that asserts there is no real separation between any of us. So, if you’re tired of “self-help” and you’re ready to explore who you are beyond the self, let \u003ci\u003eThe No-Self Help Book\u003c\/i\u003e be your guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Harbinger Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037398122736,"sku":"9781684032174","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781684032174_p0.jpg?v=1763701871","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781684032174","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
