Beyond the Should: Break the Invisible Patterns. Live from Truth, Not Pressure.
You were not born overthinking. You were not born people-pleasing or living for approval. Somewhere along the way, you learned to live by "should."
You should be more successful. You should make them proud. You should stop feeling this way. You should have it all figured out by now.
And slowly - without noticing - you started building a life that looked right but didn't feel right.
Beyond the Should is a direct, honest guide to recognising and breaking the hidden mental patterns that keep you stuck. Drawing from real experience and close observation of human behaviour, Raj Mistry explores the invisible forces shaping how we think, feel, and live - from overthinking and shame to addiction, people-pleasing, and the quiet cost of never choosing yourself.
