What is Letting Go of 'Self': Lessons in Buddhist Psychology about?

Letting Go of 'Self': Lessons in Buddhist Psychology At its core, the book reveals an uncomfortable truth most of us are unaware of our false notion of self. The Buddha stated clearly, and precisely that the self is the primary source of mental and physical suffering our anxieties, fears, worries, and insecurities. The Buddha saw the self as a burden that we carry throughout life. Freedom is found by letting go of the self and is called laying down the burden in Buddhism. The Buddha and his Awakened disciples let go of the self-identity, and it is what all Buddhists attempt to do in their practice. It involves sacrificing what one cherishes most, the feeling of being. The author shows us the mental processes that create this self-identity and gradually letting go of it. He explains how we can turn our lives into a joyful existence by gaining freedom from the notion of self. Those who feel their self-identity crushed or rejected struggle the most with letting go; they can be defensive and anchored to their notion of self. Yet freedom lies only in letting go of ones false self. Letting Go of Self: Lessons in Buddhist Psychology comprises ten lectures by the author on Buddhist Psych
