The Monk Who Sold His Car (and Why I'd Probably Have Kept It): An irreverent guide to surviving self-help myths
What if the problem isn't you - it's the world that keeps trying to fix you?
The Monk Who Sold His Car (and Why I'd Probably Have Kept It): An irreverent guide to surviving self-help myths is a sharp, funny, and deeply human dismantling of modern self-help culture. It takes aim at the glossy promises of positivity, mindfulness, and "purpose" - exposing how the pursuit of constant self-improvement can quietly become its own kind of trap.
With humor and psychological insight, the author explores why we're drawn to gurus, goals, and quick enlightenment - and what's lost when every emotion becomes a project to manage. From the myth of productivity to the economics of enlightenment, this is an honest look at what happens when spirituality meets consumerism and therapy meets marketing.
In this book you will find:
A witty, fearless critique of the self-help industry and its emotional double standards.
Reflections on mindfulness, ambition, and authenticity - without the sugarcoating.
Psychological clarity, humor, and realism for readers tired of being "optimized."
A refreshing reminder that peace isn't a product - it's permission to be human.
Insightful, ironic, and quietly compassionate, this book is for anyone who's ever tried to improve themselves and ended up simply exhausted - and ready, finally, to live instead.
