Short Synopsis
Doctor, writer, and mental health advocate Tom Davies breaks down the true problem at the heart of our psychological pain and the growing mental health pandemic, providing effective solutions that anyone can practice to live a more fulfilled and happy life.

Full Synopsis
There is one point that contemporary psychology and centuries old Eastern Buddhist and Taoist teachings agree on: if you wish to experience less suffering, you must change the way you see yourself. But what if the change that is needed is to let go of our selves entirely? What does this mean for those of us living in an increasingly self-obsessed and individualistic society?

In this compassionate and galvanizing book, Dr. Tom Davies gently invites you to consider the basic elements that define who you are.

In Part One, get to know your self. From the ground up, discover what the self truly is, how it links to identity, and how self-obsession is central to the human condition and the psychological pain that each of us experience.

In Part Two, overcome self-obsession. Free yourself from your psychological prison, and learn how to live the peaceful and joyful life that you deserve.

With a fresh and lucid style, Dr. Tom Davies combines his knowledge of the medical, psychological, and the philosophical to bring you real solutions to life's most challenging problems.
