Beyond Me: Dissecting Ego To Find The Innate Love At Humanity's Core (A New Psychology As Philosophy)

Why? Why does it happen to almost everyone? We each suffer frequent bouts of self-doubt often for no clear or sensible reason. We struggle against brutal self-criticism the voices in our heads that insist we are not good enough. Something must be wrong with me! We sabotage our best interests. And we consider all this to be the necessary price of living with our past simply a byproduct of human nature. But Beyond Me argues that it isnt a necessary aspect of human nature at all. We each are struggling to confirm through the judgments of the outside world a broad collection of self-images that are entirely irrational. When we cant do it we each become sick. Year by year by year sick at heart sick of mind. We constantly look for our true selves in the eyes of others but the truth isnt there. This book is the product of five years of writing and 45 years of intense research. Beyond Me explains that many of humanitys worst problems are caused by this malady which the author has named Identity Failure. This powerfully insightful book explores in great psychological detail our human tendency toward self-doubt self-criticism and self-sabotage. And it demonstrates convincingly that this nearly universal problem is learned directly resulting from the many significant but irrational self-images that individuals attempt to validate through outside appreciation by others. Beyond Me shows why this effort can never fully succeed leaving individuals to flounder emotionally and society to suffer the subsequent consequences. The book explores Identity Failures sweeping destructive impact on individuals and society in a story told often through the authors intense personal experiences and uncompromising highly original self-analysis. But Beyond Me also finds an innate love within every individual the desire to be to exist in ways that satisfy our deep need to feel our life is worth living. And the book presents a new full-blown philosophy called Rational Faith based on this innate love offering that rational approach to living as a solution to Identity Failure. Beyond Me is a supremely hopeful fresh view of humanity. It shows that human beings can enjoy healthier more fulfilled lives and raise healthier well-balanced children through transcending the egos immediate self-interest in favor of a deeper innate love that inspires individuals to help other people unconditionally.
