Produktbeschreibung
"The Things I Used to do to Sneeze!: How to Live an Authentic Life is a self exploration book on defining your personal truth and living an authentic life; aesthetically, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, financially, professionally and parentally. Using the comparison of Monica's own love of the sensation of sneezing, to that of "sensations" sought after in life, readers are taken on a journey of self discovery, beginning with the identification of desires and understanding of personal values, to live the most authentic, purposeful and fulfilled life possible. With so many suggested ways to live our lives, from what kind of cars we should drive to what kind of careers are best, the noise has gotten out of control. Our craving for the sensation of attention, acceptance, and the envy of others has caused us to trade our basic core values for those of society's. The result, unhappiness, increased prescriptions for anti-depressants, money envy, jealousy, self loathing, paranoia, and a general feeling that more is always better. And, all of these things are done under the guise of "happiness". The Things I Used to do to Sneeze will assist readers in determining their life's vision and then embarking on a path to a more authentic and fulfilling journey, after a reflection on self. Monica will share her own personal challenges and triumphs after having lived in the "Land of Make Believe" for many years. She knows, first hand, what the negative impacts of conforming your values to meet those of mainstream can be. While sensations like acceptance, the envy of others and pride are often achieved through a compromise of values, the cost to our soul is high. In this state of conformity, individual purpose is lost. Now living a more honest life in the "Land of Authenticity and Truth", realizing a more authentic path and achieving higher levels of success, Monica is sharing this message with the world. Truth, authenticity, purpose and passion are just a few chapters away in "The Things I Used to do to Sneeze!".
