The Wisdom of Personal Undevelopment

You can develop new skills and you can refine your talents, but can you develop your self? You can learn to create new concepts and develop new theories but can you learn to develop your 'being'? In this radical exploration of self-understanding, against a backdrop of the now expansive Personal Development industry, Mike suggests that 'the self' cannot be grown, developed or added to. You don't need to! You only need to undo, uncover and reveal! He suggests the authentic self is like the ground on which we stand - stable, consistent and always there! With an accurate awareness of ones self and the 'stability of being' that it provides, he gives new meaning to traditional PD topics such as time and stress management, a deeper understanding of success and happiness, how to resolve any conflicted relationship and ways to be a better parent, manager, leader and friend. His revelations include: Why this is the age of unlearning and undoing. Why it's an illusion to believe you can develop your 'self'. Why your happiness is not dependent on anyone or anything How to approach difficult conversations A more accurate understanding of emotional intelligence How the art of detachment restores your capacity to be loving, warm and engaged Why you were always a free spirit but just forgot Some wiser ways to live a little more ...lightly!
