174. Stop Fixing Yourself, All Is Well with Don Joseph Goewey
“It ends up that we never experience true happiness because there’s always some ‘unless’ or ‘until’ that we’re imposing on our happiness.” — Don Joseph Goewey
IN THIS EPISODE:
- The reasoning and principle behind “stop fixing yourself”
- How to recognize the programming that leads us to think we are broken and need fixing
- What attachments are and how to spot them
- How to identify the conditions that we sub-consciously impose on our happiness
ABOUT MY GUEST:
Don Joseph Goewey is the director of the Center for Spiritual Exchange, the official archive for the works of Anthony De Mello. De Mello was a Jesuit priest and psychotherapist and was regarded as one of the great spiritual minds of the 20th century, influencing the likes of Eckhart Tolle and Thomas Moore.
Don is the author of End of Stress/Four Steps to Rewire Your Brain. And recently, Don edited the book Stop Fixing Yourself: Wake Up, All is Well based on Anthony De Mello’s practical spirituality.
De Mello’s message is to stop fixing ourselves. That we’re OK just as we are. No need to interfere or fix anything. It’s enough for us to simply watch and observe. We will see that these things we struggle to fix just need to be understood. And that once we understand them, they will simply drop.
