This book is an invitation to come home to your authentic self in a
world that is frequently mesmerized by "spin," narcissism, fantasy,
and exhibitionism. Psychology and classic wisdom literature have,
in various ways, long recognized the value for simply becoming who
you are (i.e., ordinariness). However, this call is becoming
increasingly drowned out by the many other voices that emphasize
publicity and image-making over authenticity and humility. Renowned
therapist and author Robert Wicks has written The Tao of
Ordinariness as a way of beginning to address these tendencies in
contemporary society. In this new countercultural work, the
strength and joy of exploring who you are - and proceeding to share
yourself with others in a way that they too can reclaim themselves
- is revisited from a range of vantage points. The author
specifically reexamines themes of humility, simplicity, letting go,
self-awareness, "alonetime," resilience, and mentoring. In an era
when people increasingly measure self-worth by external measures,
such as the number of likes and views and followers on social media
feeds (which have many individuals chasing impossible fantasies and
living with a constant fear of "missing out"), Wicks offers a
return to your authentic self.
