"Clare lifts the veils of denial, endemic in our culture, you can explore the paradox of our human condition, through self-inquiry, your eyes open wider, crafted mindfully by yourself."

Psychiatrist and President of In Defense of Animals
This book takes an in-depth look at the real reasons people resist change. Through the use of ‘myths,’ author Clare Mann takes the reader step-by-step through a practical understanding of existential psychology, empowering them to identify misplaced beliefs in their own life and to recognise these inbuilt restrictions in others’ lives.
This book will:
Explain
why people cling to their existing beliefs so strongly.
Reveal
influences that make people resist change.
Describe
how myths influence conformity and defensiveness.
Explore
why “shooting the messenger” is the first line of attack.
Provide
a simple toolbox to help people understand they are stuck.
Guide
you on how to help people change and live purposefully.
What are Social Myths?
The 8 Myths that keep people conforming and resisting change that would benefit them:
Identity
You’re not good enough as you are, or, fitting in with others’ expectations will bring you happiness.
GROUP
It is better to be part of a group than to be an individual.
MORALITY
You should follow a moral code decreed by others.
Selfishness
You are selfish if you put your own needs before those of others.
DISHONESTY
It is preferable to be discreet, modest, or embroider the truth in our interactions with others rather than be ourselves.
CERTAINTY
There is an enduring rightness in our decisions that lead us to a point beyond which we don’t need to look any further
THAT YOU CAN'T CHANGE
You are fixed and certain in your being and earlier choices negate future change.
COMMITMENT
It is impossible to change certain things in our lives once we have committed to them.
