The Paradoxical Path to the Meaning of Life – eBook

A few words about the book

Why aren’t you enjoying life as much as you would like?
Perhaps the answer is not what you think. It’s not your fault. Maybe what’s responsible are all the things you’ve been told you “should” do in order to enjoy life.

The protagonist of the story is fortunate enough to meet a magical guide who shows him an alternative path.

In this pioneering and unconventional book, Dimitris Flamouris, PhD, challenges many of the myths of the self-improvement world. Combining the latest research in neuroscience, the new science of stress and motivation, with Psychology, Existential Philosophy, and Ancient Wisdom, he proposes a different—more human—approach.

In the pages of this book, you will discover:

• How to live more happily—even without goals or dreams.
• How to find what you want in life (and why it’s okay not to know yet).
• How to manage stress and turn it into an ally—even if you feel overwhelmed. In practice.
• How to solve the puzzle of low self-confidence. In practice.
• How to manage negative thoughts and difficult emotions. In practice.
• How to understand and tame your mind.
• How to communicate effectively with everyone. In practice.
• How to find the willpower to make the changes you struggle with—and resist temptations. In practice.
• HOW TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF THE MEANING OF LIFE.

Written in the author’s well-known practical and accessible style, this book promises to take you to parts of yourself you never imagined existed—on a paradoxical path toward the meaning of life.

Are you ready for a meaningful life?
