Resigning from Yourself

When did being absent from your own life
become normal?

You keep a promise you made to someone else, and put off the one you made to yourself. You know what you should do, then find a convincing reason to delay it.

Mahmoud Shaaban Fasfous traces the small tricks by which we slip out of our own lives: procrastination and rationalization, fear of how others see us, and distractions that pull us away from what truly matters.

This book draws on scenes from everyday life, ideas from psychology, and words much older than psychology that illuminate those ideas from another angle. It opens the door to understanding what we fail to see in ourselves—and doing something about it.

Five parts, nineteen chapters,
and tools that begin with a step you can try today.
