<p>SELF-HELP / SPIRITUALITY<br> "Unmasking the ego is the first giant step into the<br> spiritual world, and Dr. Mutchler's contribution to the<br> literature makes that step much easier."<br> Foreword Clarion Review Rating: 5 stars (out of 5)<br> We live in a marketplace filled with valuable ideas for how to be happy<br> and find peace of mind, yet people continue to suffer--perhaps today more<br> than ever before. We are just now awakening to the principal source of our<br> unhappiness, which is ego. Ego wreaks havoc in our daily lives, from the<br> emotional pain that individuals, couples, and families experience all the way<br> up to global tensions and international conflict.<br> Most people think of ego as an inflated sense of self-importance, but this<br> is only a fraction of what it really is. Ego is the false identification of who we<br> are as beings. It drives us to think and behave in ways that are inconsistent<br> and incongruent with who we really are, leading always to dissatisfaction and<br> suffering.<br> The secret is to loosen ourselves from ego's painful grip by embracing it, not<br> by trying to conquer or overcome it. As counter-intuitive as embracing ego may<br> sound, the truth is that ego is the only doorway through which one can reach<br> the world of spirit--where peace of mind awaits us. Without proper guidance, <br> this trip can be perilous, because ego--to ensure its own survival--makes<br> every attempt to derail us along the way. Embracing Ego is an easy-to-follow, <br> step-by-step guide to help you make this journey as smoothly as possible. The<br> seeds of happiness will take root at the outset of your journey and continue to<br> grow every step of your way.</p>
