This book is for you! *by H***C on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2017* I'm a strange combination of 'I need to be ambitious and get what I want out of life' and 'I want to be happy with who I am and what I have right now because otherwise nothing will ever make me happy'. There are plenty of resources to address the former, but this is the first thing I've seen that really addresses the latter. I have been told time and time again I should start my own business because I have the resources and the 'personality' for it and I feel like a guilty jerk every time I say I don't want to do that. This book helps me accept that I'm happy with some things just the way they are. It's so strange in America to not want to be on the top of everything and be happy with being a really good cog in the machine. This book helped me realize that's ok. I mean I always knew it was ok because it's my life, but it's nice to see it written down. It is absolutely ok to be happy exactly as you are, and I personally think gratitude for the joys in your current situation are the key to happiness. If this is already the way you feel or if you long to stop feeling obligated to be on the hamster wheel of changing yourself, this is a great book. I read super quickly and with high comprehension, and I have to read this again just because it's so different from the typical American ideal of what life should look like and how you can approach dealing with yourself and your faults. This is the absolute best type of self help book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The way to fight depression in a quest for actualization *by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2019* This book has been an absolute game changer in my life. It’s astounding the number of people I see on my Facebook feed or instagram incessantly questing for happiness. It might come as no surprise that they also happen to suffer from major anxiety and depression. I found myself falling into the same trap, but it’s been so mind opening to just stop caring and just live my day to day life.I love how he points out that many of us go on these journey to find ourselves, ditching family, friends, long term relationships and a paying job to search for something within ourselves. But what happens if you dig and find nothing there? There’s nothing wrong with introspection but the obsession with giving up everything to figure out who we are is a losing battle. We are constantly changing, just look at personality psych. We just need to do our best to accept who we are and be receptive to critiques from others. Understand that relationships are what keep us happy, not travel or extravagant experiences. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Refreshingly true! *by E***K on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018* l found the material to be refreshing, to the point, sensible and “doable!” I was realizing that years of reading self-help & self-improving books, spirituality practiced, meditation, and Eastern philosophies of a “good life” had not given me the peace of mind or inner peace I was thirsty for. As a result I had become rather resentful toward such endeavors. I came across the book review of Stand Firm & liked it right away. I found Brinkmann views logical & simple & clear. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/122705335-stand-firm-resisting-the-self-improvement-craze-1st-edition-kindle](https://www.desertcart.us/products/122705335-stand-firm-resisting-the-self-improvement-craze-1st-edition-kindle) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
