📚 Only Fear Dies by Barry Long

In this book, the Australian spiritual teacher Barry Long explores whether we can truly free ourselves from unhappiness. He sees that freedom as another way of talking about enlightenment.

Key Themes

• How unhappiness takes hold of us from birth
• How unhappiness shapes our personalities and our history
• Fear as the root of unhappiness
• 'Dying for life', the process in which we see that only fear dies

Sissoo recommends this because it invites you to look closely at fear and unhappiness instead of simply living with them. Long offers a spiritual way of seeing that you can reflect on at your own pace.

If the book stirs something in you, you might explore Spiritual Guidance or Meditation with a Sissoo practitioner. If you would like to talk through fears that feel heavy, Speaking & Listening Therapies may also suit you.
