A Journey Inward

About this book

The soul's threshold.. where truth begins. Have you ever felt a stranger in your own house, or that your face in the mirror belongs to someone you do not truly know? We are skilled at packing our bags and traveling thousands of miles, crossing continents and diving into ocean depths, but we always postpone that one journey needing no ticket, yet requiring immense "honesty": the journey inward. In this book, Dalia Farag El-Tabbakh opens doors we had bolted shut for fear of what we might find behind them. It is no mere human-development work, but a reflecting mirror and frank confrontation with "the naked self"; the one appearing when titles fall, lights dim, and nothing remains but you.. as you are. The book slips into the silent spaces between fear and awareness, solitude and isolation, analyzing with human wit those masks we wear; like the mask of anger veiling a deep wound, or the self-sabotage syndrome making us flee our happiness nostalgic for familiar pain.
