The End of Self-Help by Gail Brenner

The End of Self-Help by Gail Brenner

The self-help industry perpetuates the myth that we are limited, damaged, inadequate selves who need to be fixed. Sadly, it keeps millions of us hoping for a better future when we will finally be happy and fulfilled. But what if it's possible, at any moment, to be peaceful and free? In The End of Self Help: Discovering Peace and Happiness Right at the Heart of Your Messy, Scary Brilliant Life, psychologist Gail Brenner, Ph.D. reveals that in fact, it is-once we realize that who we are is not defined by our distorted thoughts and painful feelings. With an infectious spirit, Dr. Brenner describes how personal suffering is a case of mistaken identity. She walks with readers as they expand their attention beyond their well-worn troubles to the very source of happiness and peace: presence itself. Guided audio meditations, included with each chapter, help light the way. The End of Self-Help makes ancient teachings accessible to the modern mind. It's a must-read for anyone who has finally realized that self-help doesn't actually help. You'll discover the fulfillment you've been longing for-the living, breathing possibility of peace now.and now.and now.

Gail Brenner, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist, blogger, and speaker who joyfully helps people discover that suffering is optional. Through investigating her own experience, and working with clients for over 25 years, she has discovered how to unravel common problems of everyday life to reveal the deepest acceptance and peace. Gail has authored many published articles on coping with stress and chronic medical illness. She has special expertise working with older adults and their families, bringing clear seeing and compassion to the transitions of aging, death, and dying. Her offerings point to realizing that the happiness you seek is already here. It's absolutely possible, in your own experience, to fully live this ordinary, extraordinary, precious experience of life.
