Why You're Addicted to Your Problems: Buddhism Meets Psychotherapy
Most people think freedom comes from fixing themselves. Bruce Tift, a psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner, says that's a trap. In his book 'Already Free', he reveals a shocking truth: your neuroses are not bugs, they're features. They're survival strategies that worked when you were 5, but now they keep you stuck. This isn't about becoming a better person. It's about realizing you're already free, and your struggle is the only thing holding you back. Tift blends Western developmental psychology with Tibetan Buddhist 'fruitional view' to show how anxiety, relationship drama, and chronic dissatisfaction are actually clever ways to avoid the raw intensity of being alive. You'll learn why your mind runs away from your body, how you 'hire' a partner to act out your shadow, and the one question that can collapse your entire self-improvement project. No spiritual bypassing, no self-help fluff. Just a direct, uncomfortable, liberating look at what it means to be human.
