Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The self is the second strangest thing in the world. The first is that there is anything here at all - a cosmos, a planet, a Tuesday afternoon. But close behind is the peculiar fact that, inside all of it, there is someone reading this sentence. A Small Book on the Strange Thing Called Self is a weekend-length primer for readers just beginning inner work. In twelve short chapters it bridges two great traditions of thinking about who you are - the depth psychology of twentieth-century Europe (Jung, Internal Family Systems, somatic work) and the family of Indian contemplative traditions that have asked Who am I for three thousand years (Upanishads, Advaita Vedanta, Buddhist inquiry). You will not find enlightenment in twenty-one days here. You will find a small vocabulary - shadow, witness, sadhana, integration - for what your life has probably been trying to show you for a while. What's inside - The many 'I's you play in a single day, and the noticing that holds them all- The koshas - the classical Indian map of the layers of the self - read alongside modern somatic and parts-based psychology- Jung's shadow and Advaita's witness, held side by side- Twelve short reflections and micro-practices, one at the end of each chapter- Simple hand-drawn diagrams - one per chapter- A ten-book reading list and a glossary of every Sanskrit and psychological term used Written by an India-based facilitator and researcher, for readers everywhere who are curious about the inner life but overwhelmed by long books, dense classics, or clinical texts. Read it in a weekend. Sit with one idea. See what changes on Tuesday.…
