THE INTRINSIC SELF:
 How Defining yourself and your Worth by your Achievements and Usefulness is Undermining your Happiness and Serenity

     What if everything you’ve been telling yourself about being caring, successful and productive contributes to your unhappiness and self-defeating habits? 

     What if these very qualities that you view as virtuous and necessary to succeed in the world are keeping you disconnected from yourself and sabotaging your life?

     What I’ve seen again and again in my thirty-plus years as a psychotherapist, and seminar leader, is that the external orientation that afflicts contemporary society too often lies at the heart of our stress and struggles.
 
     Many of us have achieved the things that society deems successful, yet feel unfulfilled and anxious because we define ourselves, and our worth, according to what we do, rather than who we are. We have become too dependent on others' acceptance and equate our self-worth with accomplishments, conforming to societal norms, peer acceptance and family expectations.
 

      My book shows you how to become more internally directed and, using my groundbreaking method called "Piercing The Threat", break free from the external trap by challenging outdated survival strategies that perpetuate a distorted self-concept. You will learn to let go of your excessive need to see yourself, and be seen by others,  as competent or helpful, in order to feel worthwhile and emotionally secure.

     My book describes the family and societal factors that cause you to be externally focused. Much more than simply increasing self-esteem, it challenges the specific ways you define your value and sense of identity, and how this perpetuates self-defeating habits.  THE INTRINSIC SELF will also show you how becoming more internally directed can help you manifest your goals, be productive without getting stressed and overcome the obstacles to implementing self-care.

Dennis Portnoy provides practical and effective solutions to a problem many people face: neglecting one’s inner self in order to "fit in” with external demands, real or perceived.
