As featured on Glenn Beck Radio program. Sub-title: How Today's Obsessions with Control, Ownership, & Independence are Destroying the Quality of Our Lives. Readers ask, how can "Control, Ownership and Independence" be bad Are these three celebrated traits not the most sought after pillars of life "Perhaps they are the most sought after, but they shouldn't be..." says New York Times #1 best selling author, Richard Eyre who sees Control, Ownership, & Independence as The Three Deceivers. Why Because in addition to being unobtainable, they are actually undesirable to the degree they are obtained! This "epiphany" was discovered by Eyre one day while waiting between meetings who had a couple of hours to burn stepped into a Barnes & Noble and spent the idle time in the so-called "self-help" section. It suddenly occurred to him that every single book there was promising readers the SAME THING! "Having more control, more ownership, and more independence are the wrong goals," says Eyre. "They are the false gods we worship. Their elusive pursuit draws us away from God away from our true purpose in life and diminishes our relationships with other people." When Glenn Beck had the author on his show, he said, "At first this book really hacked me off! You were challenging my basic beliefs, but then when I got to the Three Alternatives and the part about Serendipity... I said this book is blowing my mind. The part on Serendipity alone is worth the price of admission!" At a time of huge uncertainty in our world, Eyre attests that his new book strikes at the very heart of the three chief contributors to unhappiness and frustration in our lives. Richard not only exposes and debunks The Three Deceivers but more importantly he introduces the reader to The Three Alternatives --- those goals, attitudes and attributes that will lead us to happier, more spiritually satisfying and stress * lives.
