Synopsis

In many ways we have never been more ‘free’. We are freer to follow our
dreams, set goals and live the life we choose. Yet mental health issues are
sky-rocketing. Anxiety and depression are rife and more people feel overwhelmed by daily living. We are more addictive, distracted and pressured. This is a world that increasingly seems to breed discontent. So, is all our so-called freedom nothing more than a trap of our own making? Are we, as the saying goes, simply decorating the cage that keeps us
imprisoned? Does everything that flies under the banner of freedom actually promote it? What can we do to change the status quo?
The Freedom Trap is an inspiring call for clear thinking and a fresh
appraisal of what our freedoms mean and can become. In this challenging,
confronting and eye-opening look at what freedom actually is — examined from
philosophical, psychological, political, social, legal, ethical, scientific,
historical and neurological perspectives — mindfulness expert Associate Professor Craig 
Hassed explores how we can alleviate our burdens (our worries, regrets and
material desires) and find a life of peace, happiness and harmony — true 
freedom.


Including practical thinking steps to help further your understanding of
what freedom really means, this book is essential reading for anyone who has
ever thought ‘there has to be more to life than this’.
