How Today's Obsessions with
Control, Ownership, & Independence
are Destroying the Quality of Our Lives
Control, Ownership and Independence... these are time-honored and highly desirable concepts, right? Wrong! At least it's wrong according to New York Times #1 best selling author, Richard Eyre. He sees Control, Ownership, & Independence as
The Three Deceivers. Why? Because not only are they unobtainable, they are actually undesirable! Having more control, more ownership, and more independence are the wrong goals, says Eyre. Their elusive pursuit draws us away from God and diminishes our relationships with other people.
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 and attitudes that will lead us to happier, more spiritually satisfying and stress free lives.
The book is written in a clever and interesting way so that it is really two books in one. The two books can be read either side, but says Eyre, readers must start with
The Three Deceivers before reading
The Three Alternatives in order to extract the maximum effect that the author has prepared in adopting this unique writing style..
"In many ways, I think that The Three Deceivers is the most important of the more than 30 books I have written. It is certainly the one that I think has the most to do with the attitudes I try to have today, and with my own personal efforts to "be in the world but not of the world."
