Rethink Your Self: The Power of Looking Up Before Looking in

Follow your heart. You do you. You are enough.

We take these slogans for granted, but what if this path to personal happiness leads to a dead-end? In Rethink Your Self, Trevin Wax encourages you to rethink some of our society's most common assumptions about identity and the road to happiness.

Most people define their identity and purpose by first looking in (to their desires), then looking around (to express their uniqueness), and finally--maybe--looking up (to add a spiritual dimension to life). Rethink Your Self proposes a counter-intuitive approach: looking up before looking in.

It's only when we look up to learn who we were created to be that we discover our true purpose and become our truest selves.
