Awareness: Conversations with the Masters | 
panIt's like zen but the asshole view. It was published in 1990 and has all of the "tough love", "I'm just being honest", self-improvement on cocaine attitude you might expect. There‘s lots of content that hasn‘t aged well (a couple of slurs, lots of ableism) and way too many stories, quips, and parables. I agree with de Mello‘s overall message of not being dependent on people or things for happiness, but this isn‘t the book that‘ll get you there.
#rocktober #knowyourenemy @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Im going with the enemy within. Freud spoke of the "super ego" & more recently we speak of " the inner critic"
Anthony de Mello's book Awareness is so helpful, because awareness is the key to understanding & to knowing that enemy within us. & we can stop listening to that enemy voice within & develop a kinder voice. A lifetimes work ❤️pic of kindle and cup in the dark
pickThe author was an Indian Jesuit priest and psychotherapist, who wrote in a style that was modern and unconventional, laced with folk tales and a sense of humor. Lots to think about!
