Self Knowledge

In Ancient Greece, when the philosopher Socrates was asked to sum up what all philosophical commandments could be reduced to, he replied: "Know yourself". Self-knowledge matters so much because it is only on the basis of an accurate sense of who we are that we can make reliable decisions - particularly around love and work. This book takes us on a journey into our deepest, most elusive selves and arms us with a set of tools to understand our characters properly.

There are many ways of describing overthinking. It can be understood as a situation where one cannot stop worrying and thinking about things. Overthinking is not a disorder. It involves a fear that grows in you and overwhelms you, but you can’t help yourself but let it do so. In some cases, instead of crying it out, you simply opt to hold back your tears. It’s the fear of failure: failing at your job, failing a certain class, failing in your relationships.

We may spend years mastering the external world–acquiring degrees, advancing careers, building families–without ever turning inwards to make sense of the person orchestrating it all: ourselves. This book is a guide to the elusive, essential task of self-knowledge. With clarity, gentleness and depth, it explores why we are often mysteries to ourselves, how our childhoods quietly script our behaviors and why seemingly trivial experiences–an abrupt word, a strange dream, a lingering mood–can hold the keys to profound insight.

Immediate action has never been so easy.

Self-awareness is not overthinking. It is the skill of seeing yourself clearly enough to live more wisely. Most people do not struggle because they lack intelligence, talent, or good intentions. They struggle because they repeat patterns they do not fully see. They react before they reflect. They drift before they notice. They make decisions, form habits, and enter conflicts without understanding what is really driving them. The Power of Self-Awareness shows you how to change that. In this practical and encouraging guide, Jimmy Lockett presents self-awareness not as vague introspection or ...

The Ashtavakra Gita is the purest expression of nondual truth. It strips away every support, every method, and every illusion of progress. Ashtavakra speaks from the standpoint of absolute freedom, where the Self alone exists and nothing else has ever been real. The book is not a philosophy to study but a mirror for direct recognition. It points you inward, past thought, past effort, into the silent Awareness that is already complete. My commentary explores this as a lived realization rather than a doctrine. You see how the sense of being a doer, seeker, or knower dissolves in the light of ...

Seduction still arouses controversy and wonder. Is it a sophisticated form of art, a psychological game, or perhaps the most powerful method of manipulation? Although seduction may seem like a male prerogative, as men are usually the conquerors, you will find that we, women, can also be seductive. In the past, women initiated seduction very subtly. A woman would nonchalantly allow her handkerchief to fall near the man whose attention she wanted to attract. He would pick it up and approach the woman while firmly convinced that he alone was the initiator. But still, the question remains: who ...
