Escape the race to happiness, build a life of value, and resist the pull of self-help

You've heard this story: outwardly, woman was living the dream. Inwardly, woman was drowning in despair. It's what happened next that sets this tale apart.

Many of us go through life believing that something about us is not normal enough. So, we devote ourselves to the endless pursuit of self-improvement. That's what Talia Pollock decided to do. In her quest to feel better, Talia Pollock got seduced by self-help trends that offered fleeting solace but failed to soothe the depths of her inner turmoil. Conventional remedies, like medication and therapy, provided a semblance of relief but didn't ease the angst she felt inside.

It wasn't until she discovered Existentialist philosophy that she discovered is that what we're told is abnormal is actually entirely human, and it's our attempts to cure ourselves of our humanity will eventually drive us mad.

Echoing the timeless wisdom of philosophers and the timely research of social scientists, Pollock offers a modern take on finding the courage to create your own version of satisfaction.

Pollock's sincere retelling of her own experiences urges readers to

  • question conventional notions of happiness
  • embrace contentment as a lasting source of well-being
  • navigate the challenges of a comfortably uncomfortable life

Whether you're grappling with existential questions, seeking to break free from societal expectations, or yearning for a deeper sense of fulfillment, The Problem with Being a Person offers a powerful message for prioritizing self-acceptance over self-improvement.
