O knihe

Most of us have an idea of what our ideal self would be - perhaps you wish you were more motivated, confident, friendlier, funnier, less awkward. At some point though, we usually come to terms with who we are, accepting the parts of our personality that are less than ideal. Does that mean that the possibility of becoming your ?ideal self' is just wishful thinking? Or can we really change who we are if we wanted to?

Antonia Case was a high-flying executive who felt that something was missing. One day, she found herself unable to work, and walked out of her job and her life. She realised she needed to look for something more. This book is that story.

Now a journalist and publisher of popular psychology and philosophy magazines Womankind and New Philosopher, Case takes readers on a personal journey - her journey - across South America, as she gave into Nietzche's callthat There is one road along which no one can go, except you...Do not ask where it leads - go forward.?. On that journey she examines the philosophy of ?self', looking at the the science of self-transformation. Across 14 extraordinary chapters, she examines every aspect of what makes us who we are from the perspective of a range of disciplines - philosophical, psychological, metaphysical, historical and more. She meets experts armed with strategies to alter mind and behavior and people who've one day decided to transform who they are. In the end, she builds upon hundreds of years of psychological and philosophical practice to reshape her life, and in doing so teaches us all what it is to truly Flourish.
