Take a look around and see if you can find just one completely happy person, someone at peace with themselves, someone who is fearless and free from insecurity, depression, lack, and worry. You would be lucky if you found one in a hundred thousand. The irony is we were born happy; we lost touch with it. We were born surrounded by a divinity of peace, joy, and love; we lost sight of it. It's as if we've been hypnotized to see what is not there and not see what is there. We were brainwashed by society into building our life on the unquestioned belief that without money, power, success, approval, romance, etc., we cannot be happy. It's a false belief that has us constantly striving, constantly focused on what we don't have, constantly at the mercy of things and people as we try desperately to make life conform to society's formula for happiness, only to discover it offers nothing more in the way of a happy life than temporary respites from the fear of failing. Suppose there is a way of waking up from all that, where what is false and neurotic within you would drop with little or no effort on your part and your eyes would open to the reality of joy surrounding you. Here it is: Stop Fixing Yourself, the new book by Anthony DeMello that helps you rediscover the life you were meant to live. Review: A different kind of book - Probably the best book I have ever read. It is the “how to” of what the Bible teaches. The author shows you how to get rid of societal programming through awareness and how to love others the way the Bible commands us. I would highly recommend this book. Be warned some concepts may be difficult for someone who is a new Christian or someone who is very legalistic since the author combines certain eastern philosophies but it actually completely aligns with the Bible. Review: Easy read, Insightful - This book has short chapters of useful information. Anthony de Mello gets to the heart of our issues quickly in each section. He directs the reader to the exact reasons of why we feel broken, unfulfilled and sad or depressed. I recommend reading his book Awareness first. We must be aware of ourselves instead of frustrated by our negative actions and thoughts, this is how one will evolve.

A different kind of book
Probably the best book I have ever read. It is the “how to” of what the Bible teaches. The author shows you how to get rid of societal programming through awareness and how to love others the way the Bible commands us. I would highly recommend this book. Be warned some concepts may be difficult for someone who is a new Christian or someone who is very legalistic since the author combines certain eastern philosophies but it actually completely aligns with the Bible.

Pretty Good Rerun
This book is largely a rerun of "Awareness", which was a collection of lectures and retreats given by Fr. DeMello decades ago now, but without as many amusing anecdotes. Still a very worthy read - I'm not a true afficionado but I read the occasional self-help/personal improvement book and find elements of Fr. DeMello's work in almost all of them - he was a wise man and gone too soon.

A clearer roadmap to our life's path
Seems that De Mello's infinite human wisdom is targeted to the ones already on the awareness path. It does, however serves to refine and deepenth clarity about the milestones one encounter along their path. De Mello's Conclusion is a masterpiece that helps embracing the growing solitude one feels as part of the journey, and injects sense into it. Thank you.

not christ, but christ like…
I love his work- he merges an eastern detachment to western ideas. Not christ, but christlike in perspective. Quite beautiful.

Very Helpful!
This is a book I have and will continue to read again. There are times I listen to this on Spotify and times I sit and read this in print. Excellent!

Love it!
I have had this book for quite some time, but just read it recently. I love it so much I bought a paper copy in addition to my Kindle copy. I have other, more in-depth, books on “letting go,” but this is simple, straightforward, and inspiring. Even though the title says stop fixing yourself, it is helping me let go of trying to fix others.

loved it
I read it twice while contemplating and marinating his words. I can’t wait to read other books by the author. It’s like a delicious chocolate cake that satisfies all my senses.
