New Book Explores a Revolutionary Approach to Finding Happiness by Breaking Free of Ego

May 13, 2010 - PRLog -- In his recently published book, Beyond the Ego: Where Happiness, Joy, and Peace of Mind Await You, Dr David Mutchler demonstrates how the ego is far more than an inflated sense of self-importance, which is what people typically think it is; that everyone has an ego; and that the ego can cause considerable unhappiness in our lives.

A full time author, speaker, and seminar leader, Dr Mutchler suggests in his new book that the real source of unhappiness is “ego.” According to him, “Ego is one’s identity, but it is a mistaken identity based on the unconscious belief that we are separate and disconnected beings in an alien and impersonal world. Our egos cause us to act in ways that are incongruent and inconsistent with whom we really are, leading always to unhappiness, dissatisfaction, and suffering. When people discover who they really are — part of the interconnected web of all existence — they are empowered to become aware of their egos at work. Becoming conscious of ego diminishes its destructive presence, and frees one up to go beyond it, where happiness, real connections with others, and peace can be found.”

Dr Mutchler’s book helps people discover who they really are, and as a result, bring more happiness into their lives. The book offers an easy to understand, step-by-step guide to transform oneself from being ego-driven to spiritually directed. It can help the reader to learn what ego is, where it comes from, how to identify it, where to look for it, where it hides, and what to do when it is finally found.
