The Mystery of You: Freedom is Closer Than You Think

by Emilio Diez Barroso

Have we forgotten about being happy in our pursuit of happiness?

We have been well trained to go after what we want, but are we missing out on life by always focusing on some future event?

In The Mystery of You, Emilio Diez Barroso invites you to uncover a peace that is untouched by the happenings of life and encourages you to discover who you are beyond your familiar identities and roles. He grounds the awakening that was once reserved for monasteries into the nitty-gritty of everyday parenting and business. Emilio shows us how to stop the ways in which we perpetuate our own suffering and claim our inherent capacity to experience the bliss of being fully alive.

About the author

I was a lifelong seeker—seeking recognition, achievement, love, success, and finally, the ultimate carrot: enlightenment. In my pursuit of enlightenment, I was forced to face what all the seeking had been trying to avoid: my own sense of unworthiness. Defeated at the game of avoiding and humbled by the realization of my true nature, I am now dedicated to alleviating suffering in the world. I am married and a father to three incredible teachers. I am an active investor, philanthropist, and entrepreneur and sit on the board of over a dozen nonprofits. I have a master’s in spiritual psychology and resides in Los Angeles.

Powerful and practical

The possibility that this kind of inner freedom is available in a modern life setting, is very encouraging. The author is not a guru or a monk but a businessman with children.
I’m already implementing some of the tools and getting insights of my own. The impact is profound.
