Neal Allen’s “The Art of Living Better Days” debuts in Brazil with insights on the superego and self-sabotage.
The book “The Art of Living Better Days”, released by Cultrix, offers a practical and accessible approach to mental health and the challenges of the inner critic. The author guides readers through self-awareness practices to identify, confront, and transform the voice that judges and sabotages personal growth.
Neal Allen, a former journalist and business executive with degrees in Political Science from Columbia University and Eastern Classics from St. John’s College, examines the superego — describing it as a survival mechanism from childhood that evolves into a punitive voice of self-judgment in adulthood.
Through thoughtful insights and simple exercises, Allen teaches how to listen to this voice without letting it control emotions or behavior. By acknowledging it with awareness, readers can reduce self-sabotage and cultivate greater calm and self-acceptance.
“This book invites us to separate the useful parts of the ego from the defensive, moralistic ones that no longer serve us.” – Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Life
Combining spiritual reflection with practical guidance, the author encourages readers to release the burdens of the superego and open space for a more balanced and fulfilling life.
