Toxic Spirituality

Rooted in Asian wisdom traditions, he demonstrates why many casually spoken phrases like "Become the best version of yourself" or "You create your own reality" often lead us away from the spiritual path and can even cause unnecessary suffering. He analyzes each "half-truth" from social, psychological, and spiritual perspectives, extracting the liberating core of each statement. At the end of many chapters, practical exercises are offered that transform reflection into a truly embodied experience. Finding your authentic path to freedom.
