Be a Leader of Yourself - by Augusto Cury

If we compare the human mind with the most beautiful theater, where are the majority of young people and adults?

On stage directing the play, or in the audience being a passive spectator of their conflicts, losses and guilt?

Where are you?

Being a leading actor on the stage of life does not mean not failing or not crying. It means retracing paths, recognizing mistakes and learning to stop being imprisoned by thoughts and emotions.

In this book, you will discover the tools you need to become the author of your own story and make your life a great spectacle. We are trained to drive a car, a company, practice a profession. But are we trained to govern our thoughts? Have we learned what tools are necessary to manage our emotions? No! We are prepared to be an audience, not leaders of our psychic world. Thoughts dominate us, emotions control us. Science and education prepare us to explore the external world, but not to explore the territory of our being.

Many people talk to the world via the internet, but the strange thing is that they never talk deeply to themselves. We master technology to travel to the planets, but not technology to conquer the space where shyness, anxiety, fear, courage, frustrations, bad mood, anguish, dreams, and the enchantment for life are born.

In this book, I would like to share with you the answers I have found as a psychiatrist and psychology researcher to questions about the theater of the human mind. They expanded my understanding of life. I hope you expand yours.
