{"product_id":"kendine-ait-bir-hayat","title":"A Life of Her Own","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Whoever is not ready to realize that they are much stupider than they think they are should not embark on this experiment.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen she was twenty-six years old, author and psychoanalyst Marion Milner embarked on a highly personal and intriguing \"experiment.\" She began to meticulously record what made her happy in a diary. Her aim was to increase the moments of happiness that she encountered by chance in life. Years later, when she decided to revise this diary, it resulted in A Life of One's Own: the product of someone who had made considerable progress in discovering her inner world, and her desire to share the surprising things she had learned with others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the book focuses most on the difference between viewing life from the narrow lens of the mind and viewing it from the broader lens of the whole self. Milner states that the former brings with it a strong sense of lack and dissatisfaction, while the latter brings a distinct feeling of contentment and wholeness, for although the mind is a fundamental element, a human being is a much more complex entity with emotions, desires, and needs that fall outside the mind's dominance. So much so that when we pause and turn our gaze inward, we realize how little we actually know about ourselves, and how many aspects of ourselves we suppress or ignore. This book reminds us of precisely this and emphasizes how important it is for a fulfilling life to connect with our self as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBritish author and psychoanalyst.
