How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. Harry Browne, Avon, 1973
How
I Became Free in an Unfree World, should be required reading for every
human being on the planet earth! This is a fundamental guide about
relationships; with ourselves and with others. This book provides sound
and practical advice, empowering perspective and permission to be who
we are. A "how to" for navigating the world as free and sovereign
individuals .
One need not agree with all of the ideas presented in this book to
realize, that when all is said and done, our life is our responsibility
alone. That every day we must choose who we are and what we will do. We
can live in fear and reaction to the demands of others or we can strive
to live free of fear. We can defer to the wants of others, or we can do
as our heart and mind dictate. Our call; our choice.
The major myths, lies and the traps we're caught in everyday come into
clear view as you read through, How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World.
And when you've finished reading, you won't be the same person who
started it; you will have had your eyes opened and you will be much
better for it.
From the back cover:
Bestselling author Harry Browne shows you how easy it is to break out
of the traps that may be preventing you from having a truly free
existence and live the way you want to without having to change the
world or the people around you.
From the Prologue:
"Freedom is the opportunity to live your life as you want to live it. And that is possible, even if others remain as they are.
"I'm free because I have chosen to live that way. I've concentrated
upon the things I control, and used that control to remove the
restriction and complications from my life."
"Every day of my life is mine to use as I see fit."
"I'm involved with people who add to my life, and I'm independent of those who would take from it."
"My life is of little importance to you, however, and this book is not
an autobiography. The title was chosen to let you know that at least
one person has accomplished the freedom you seek, and that it can be
done without changing the nature of the world. The attention will be
devoted to your freedom - but the principles and ideas presented will
be those that brought freedom to me."
