Description
THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR AGREEMENT
It is the one we have never discussed or even mentioned. In fact, we pretend we never made it at all. The agreement? What mask? We don’t really wear one, do we? Push our good parts, hide the rest and pretend there is nothing hidden?
THE TRUTH: I use my mask to keep you focused on the best parts of how I look, what I know and the great things I have done; I also use my verbal banter and that dance I do with my hands and face so you will not see that moment of uncertainty, that flash of anger or the mistake I just made.
I work hard to keep your eyes off of my balding forehead, my expanding waistline and the stain on my pants. But as good as I am at it—and I have had a life-time of practice—we both know that you do see my mistake, my balding and that stain.
But thank you for pretending.
“LIER, LIER, PANTS ON…â€
Most of us do some pretending, as we find ourselves acting differently with our parents than we do our friends, or pastor, co-workers or strangers; after all, we want everybody to see us at our best.
Some might think that this pretending has us hopping around, pants ablaze; but no! Okay maybe a little, but Mother Nature gave us a deep need to survive, and as social creatures a crucial part of that survival depends upon acceptance. Hiding what we think is unattractive and pushing (even exaggerating) our best is not only natural, it feels necessary.
Also, we did not choose to mask ourselves; most of us are barely aware that we even have a mask. No, we are not liars; what we are is what we have always been: doing the best we can, even as we sometimes (and almost automatically) push what isn’t to hide what is.
IN THE BEGINNING!
Long ago, you were curious (about everything), and it took so little to delight you. You felt life more intensely, and you could also be seen scrambling from your bed to dive head first into the days.
What happened to that child-like exuberance, that irrepressible passion for life? Absolutely nothing.
It is still in there, waiting for you to release it. Waiting for you to take off your mask and release yourSELF. As you do, you will find your personal power increasing, your relationships deepening, and you will discover the freedom to be all of who you are no matter who you are with.
Is this book really all that? Don’t be surprised if you find yourself so excited that you are recommending it to friends; you might also find yourself returning to it again and again.
Also the end of this book is not the end; there is a bonus. It is the complete 4th book in this series: An Easier Life.

This ebook was like a pot of coffee wake-up call without the jitters. A real eye opener! It turns out it is safe for me to be me! Thanks for the gentle push needed to make some changes in my personal life as well as my business. Mary
It's not a book that "you read." It's a book that "reads you." It's about as close to free therapy as you'll ever get. BrightEyes
This amazing book is a psychological ride into self-discovery. Donna S
It handles a serious subject but in a very light conversational manner and it is fun to read. Aditi Chopra
(It’s) like a conversation with a great friend who has your best interests at heart. A Reader from Milwaukee
