I'm very picky about the books I take the time to read, which is why I am always drawn to non-fiction. Usually they're slow reads, ones you want to go back over and highlight certain parts to iron in your memory.
Like this book:
It's a book that walks you through your relationship with your thoughts and emotions, often referring to your inner thoughts as your 'roommate.'
It's refreshing to know that the voice inside your head is a boundary and can be set free from the self.
What's special about this book? This part was an 'aha' moment:
An event or experience happens and affects you.
Your heart and mind are fixated on that experience even though it's already gone.
"There's a blockage, an event that got stuck. All the subsequent experiences are trying to pass through you, but something has happened inside that has left this past experience unfinished. Life must now compete with this blocked event for your attention...You will see that your tendency is to think about it constantly. This is all an attempt to find a way to process it through your mind.....because you resisted, it got stuck, and now you have a problem."
Sound familiar?
Read his solutions to these stuck-in-the-mud thought patterns.
Set yourself free one at a time.
