Beschreibung
In a world of more choices and opportunities than ever before, how we spend our time can lead us to fulfilment or to spiritual disconnection. Part memoir, part case study, The Me, Without is an inspiring example of how to step back, slow the pace of life and help yourself heal.
At the age of thirty-four, journalist Jacqueline Raposo finds herself sick, single and broke. Weary of trying to solve her problems with quick-fix solutions and adding things to her life to bolster her self-esteem, Raposo attempts the opposite and subtracts some of her most destructive habits – social media, shopping, sugar and negative thoughts – for periods of thirty to ninety days over the course of one year. The result is a soul-searching, deeply moving story of self-improvement, full of fascinating insights from doctors, psychologists and science experts about why our brains and bodies react as they do to our habits, and how we can all work to develop more satisfying, calm and meaningful lives.
‘Brave, rigorous and vulnerable . . . Essential reading for anyone on the cusp of making a major life change – or even a minor one.’ —Kat Kinsman, author of Hi, Anxiety
‘Jacqueline is able to make me chuckle with one sentence and then have a deep introspective moment in the next. Her openness and honesty is truly amazing. If you have been looking to examine your relationship with the world, this is the book for you!’ —Travis McElroy, host of the podcasts My Brother, My Brother, and Me and The Adventure Zone.
