Read my book that If the first book How to be Happy with the People is taken as behavior of the mind, outside the mind, this book My Mind My Enemy is a journey inside the mind, how it works in pleasant and unpleasant circumstances.
Again, this subject is far ahead of complexities, because no doubt, mind is complex to understand, even one’s own or the mind of the person opposite you. Here is what Sandeep Marwah says, a famous socialite and Chancellor – AAFT University of Media and Arts, who had read the manuscript of the book before printing.
In the labyrinth of human existence, the mind often emerges as both a fortress and a formidable adversary. The internal conflicts, self-doubt, and negative thoughts can turn our own minds into enemies, hindering personal growth and well-being. However, the key lies in understanding and transforming this adversarial relationship into a friendship. The book My Mind My Enemy-How to make it friends by Mr. Prem Singh Dhingra delves into the strategies and practices that can foster a harmonious alliance with our minds.
He has mentioned that making the mind a friend is acknowledging and understanding the adversarial aspects. Self-awareness is crucial in recognizing destructive thought patterns, limiting beliefs, and irrational fears that impede personal development. By identifying these elements, individuals can start to unravel the complexities of their minds.
In the pursuit of personal growth and well-being, transforming the mind from an enemy into a friend is a transformative journey. Through mindfulness, positive self-talk, embracing imperfection, cultivating gratitude, and seeking professional support when needed, individuals can navigate the intricate landscape of their minds and turn adversity into an alliance that fosters growth, resilience, and a positive outlook on life.
