Introspection, Teshuva, Personality, & Change: A Map
Introspection, Teshuva, Personality, & Change: A Map
What is it about us that makes variety pleasurable and change less desirable?
The
common thinking as to why change is less attractive holds the belief
that we are creatures of habit. Taken a step further, we know that
personal attitudes towards change can vary greatly. Some changes, like
buying a new hat or tie are relatively easy. Unquestionably, we are most
resistant to change when it involves changing our own habits, beliefs,
or behaviors.
So, don't
buy this book for someone else. Its purpose is to help you change
yourself. Better to read this before personal distress forces us to make
dramatic changes in our lives.
The
premise of this book is that introspection and teshuvah, Judaism's
formula for self-change, not only change our spiritual trajectory, they
allow us to enhance and enrich our lives. These powerful vehicles can
also transform personal change into a life-giving habit.
