The Tao of Ordinariness: Humility and Simplicity in a Narcissistic Age by Robert

Description: The Tao of Ordinariness by Robert J. Wicks Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book is an invitation to come home to your authentic self in a world that is frequently mesmerized by "spin," narcissism, fantasy, and exhibitionism. Psychology and classic wisdom literature have, in various ways, long recognized the value for simply becoming who you are (i.e., ordinariness). However, this call is becoming increasingly drowned out by the many other voices that emphasize publicity and image-making over authenticity and humility. Renownedtherapist and author Robert Wicks has written The Tao of Ordinariness as a way of beginning to address these tendencies in contemporary society. In this new countercultural work, thestrength and joy of exploring who you are - and proceeding to share yourself with others in a way that they too can reclaim themselves - is revisited from a range of vantage points. The author specifically reexamines themes of humility, simplicity, letting go, self-awareness, "alonetime," resilience, and mentoring. In an era when people increasingly measure self-worth by external measures, such as the number of likes and views and followers on social media feeds (which have manyindividuals chasing impossible fantasies and living with a constant fear of "missing out"), Wicks offers a return to your authentic self.
