Book Description

The Egosystem is not an academic indulgence of science, chemistry, or mumbo-jumbo psycho-analysis. It unpacks the humanity that exists in all of us, regardless of cultural, religious, or philosophical persuasions and makes it possible for everyone to reconnect with the essence of who they are, and empower them to change it if they so desire. Despite being in the self-help genre, The Egosystem is not about self-help. It is about self-awareness. In a world where everyone expects us to live according to norms that will give us a sense of inclusion in society, but rob us of our own identity, we eventually lose any sense of who we are. When things start falling apart, or when we find ourselves busy from morning till night, yet feeling unfulfilled and exhausted, that's when life starts beating us up and we feel empty or isolated in our thoughts and troubles. That feeling of angst or frustration is usually because we have lost sight of what we wanted for ourselves, versus what others demanded from us. At times like that, finding our way back to a moment when we felt grounded and appreciated, even if only by ourselves, could mean the difference between growing old gracefully, or dying on the inside while appearing happy on the outside. Understanding your needs, recognising your assumptions, embracing your fears, mastering your behaviours, honing your responses, and establishing more informed perceptions about the world are all outcomes that will naturally result from your time reading this book. It does not provide you with exercises to do, or mantras to repeat to achieve the changes that will reduce the dis-ease that you may feel. Instead, it simply makes you aware of why you respond to life the way that you do, which in turn prompts the natural curiosity and intelligence of the mind to make conscious choices to either accept who you are, or to change the cycle if you prefer to be better. No mantras. No lists. No exercises. No prescriptions. No touchy-feely rants. Just simple logic that will remove the clutter and restore sanity where you thought sanity may be lost forever.
