Anthony De Mello

If peace, love, and happiness are our natural states, why aren't we experiencing it? As we have grown as a people, as a society, even as individuals, we have also grown further away from that which is at our core. But it is not lost. The fountainhead of serenity and joy hides in every human heart. It is there for any to embrace who choose to search for it. Call it God, call it grace-call it understanding, hope, or love. The answer to life's troubles, the mind's chaotic thoughts, and the heart's heavy burden is within our grasp. A YEAR WITH ANTHONY DE MELLO offers a path to those seeking a way home to what is already inside each of us. For anyone who is feeling like their life is unfulfilling, this week-by-week workbook includes fifty-two passages of De Mello's wisdom paired with inspiring quotes from influential writers, philosophers, and spiritualists from across the world, each followed by an engaging journal prompt for the reader to mindfully respond to. Wake up and see that happiness and peace are not things one must earn-they exist within us already.

The question Anthony De Mello's STOP FIXING YOURSELF poses and successfully answers is: Can you attain enlightenment without the slightest effort on your part? Spiritual seekers exhausted from years of fruitless striving might well sigh deeply and think, "If only that were true." Well, Anthony De Mello asserts it is true. STOP FIXING YOURSELF provides the simple path to living an enlightened life. De Mello tells us that if you are watchful and awake, all that is false and neurotic within you will drop away and you will begin to live increasingly from moment to moment in a life made whole and happy and transparent through awareness. Awareness transforms you from a seeker to a finder, opening your eyes to the reality of the love, peace, and beauty that has always surrounded you. Awareness will set you free. In STOP FIXING YOURSELF, De Mello's down-to-earth teaching method helps you discover true awareness, releasing the divinity all around you and making your life meaningful, beautiful, and prosperous.
