Riassunto:

Are you constantly worrying about approval?

Do you find yourself worrying endlessly about what other people think of you? Are you always desperately trying to please your boss, your parents or your partner? Do you even lose sleep over what strangers think of you? You are not alone! Millions of us fret ourselves witless, all snared within the approval trap alike.

“The approval trap can be crippling. The craving for approval is insatiable. In fact, the more you feed it, the bigger it becomes.”

So, what can we do about it?

Stop!

How much time do you waste chasing approval? Imagine what it would be like if you could just stop! If you could just focus on the moment, exist purely in the present, and stop chasing approval like a dog habitually chasing cars. Think of all the time you’d get back for yourself, wouldn’t it be wonderful?

Well here’s the good news: you can stop; we can all stop! And Joey Lott can show us how.

Freedom

In Freedom from the Approval Trap Lott shares his extensive personal experiences of both being caught in the trap, trying several unsuccessful strategies to get out, and then finally making his escape. Through his honest and detailed insight we learn exactly how we can follow in his footsteps and free ourselves from the fear, pressure, anxiety, anger and discomfort that the constant need for approval brings. He shows us how our own freedom is ever-present, and explains that all we need to do to find it is to let go. It’s that simple. So simple in fact that it won’t cost you anything. So simple that you don’t need a special course, or a qualified teacher. All you need is yourself, and some time, and you too can find freedom. With Lott’s unique approach, simplicity is the key, and your freedom awaits!

Informazioni sull?autore:

"The secret to happiness is to let go of everything - see through every assumption."

Beginning at a young age Joey Lott experienced intensifying anxiety. For several decades he lived with restrictive eating disorders, obsessions, compulsions, and an inescapable fear. By the time he was 30 years old he was physically sick, emotionally volatile, and mentally obsessed with keeping any and all unwanted thoughts and experiences at bay.

At this time Lott was living on a futon mattress in a tiny cabin in the woods. He was so sick that he could barely move. He was deeply depressed and hopeless. All this despite doing all the "right" things such as years of meditation, yoga, various "perfect" diets, clean air, and pure water.

Just when things were at their most dire, a crack appeared in the conceptual world that had formerly been mistaken for reality. By peering into this crack and underneath all the assumptions that had been unquestioned up to that moment, Lott began a great undoing. The revelation of this undoing is that reality is utterly simple, ever-present, seamless, and indivisible.

Lott's books provide a glimpse into the seamless, simple, and joyous nature of reality, offering a glimpse through the crack in conceptual worlds. Whether writing about the ultimate non-dual nature of reality, eating disorders, stress, disease, or any other subject, he offers the invitation to look at things differently, leaving behind the old, out-grown, painful limitations we have used to bind ourselves in suffering. And then, he welcomes you home to the effortless simplicity of yourself as you are.

Not sure where to begin? Pick up a copy of Lott's most popular book, You're Trying Too Hard, which strips away all the concepts that keep us searching for a greater, more spiritual, more peaceful life or self.
