The Tao of Ordinariness: Humility and Simplicity in a Narcissistic Age

  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The Tao of Ordinariness is an invitation to come home to your authentic self in a world now clearly mesmerized by "spin," narcissism, fantasy, and exhibitionism. The book offers an alternative to pressures to measure your self-worth by numbers of likes and followers- i.e., living with a constant fear of "missing out" and seeking external validation for who you think you should be-instead of being comfortable with who you truly are.
