The Paradoxical Path to the Meaning of Life

A Few Words About the Book

Why aren’t you enjoying life as much as you’d like?

Perhaps the answer is not what you think. It’s not your fault. But maybe what’s responsible is everything you’ve been told you should be doing in order to enjoy life.

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

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

Within the pages of this book, you will discover:

• How you can live more happily—even without having specific goals or dreams.
• How to discover what you truly want in life (and why it’s perfectly normal not to know yet).
• How to manage anxiety and turn it into an ally—no matter how anxious you feel. In practice.
• How to solve the puzzle of low self-confidence. In practice.
• How to manage negative thoughts and difficult emotions that trouble you. In practice.
• How to understand and master your mind.
• How to communicate effectively with everyone. In practice.
• How to find the willpower to make the changes you want—and resist temptations. In practice.
• HOW TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OF LIFE’S MEANING.

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

Are you ready for a life with meaning?

The new book by D. Flampouris inspires and practically encourages us, in a clear and understandable way, to see ourselves, life, and others from a different perspective—one that is evolutionarily useful and psychologically relieving.
