Don't let fear stand in the way of experiencing your authentic self. In this courageous, dogma-free guide, spiritual rebel and internationally renowned teacher Jac O'Keeffe offers the keys to moving beyond the limited perceptions you have about yourself and toward boundless, fearless freedom.

Do you ever feel flawed, anxious, or afraid—like something is holding you back, but you're not sure what? The truth is, we can all feel that way sometimes (or even most of the time!). We're trapped by a limited sense of self, held back by our own anxieties, fears, and compulsions. Mindfulness can offer intermittent relief from these contrived narratives, showing us how to be present, open, and available in the moment by observing our thoughts and feelings. This is all wonderful—until the fears and doubts sneak back in.

How to Be a Spiritual Rebel offers more than simple mindfulness. If you want more than a temporary fix, Spiritual Rebel will lead you out of your mind games completely. Drawing on spiritual practices and recent findings in neuroscience, this groundbreaking guide will help you examine the psychological barriers that block your spiritual growth and keep you from embracing true liberation.

You'll learn to cultivate courage, view your thoughts and feelings without letting them define you, and find guidance and support as you navigate the route to boundless freedom without fear. Anecdotes and exercises are given to awaken your inner capacity to see beyond the world created by your mind.

If you're ready to take mindfulness—and spirituality—to the next level and experience true freedom and fulfillment, this candid, sometimes discombobulating, entertaining, and jargon-free guide will point the way.

      In this friendly guide, O’Keeffe (Born to be Free) shares her story of overcoming obstacles on the way to a spiritual awakening, and draws concepts and practices from her experiences that will be useful to those seeking the same. O’Keeffe defines one’s personality, ego, and psychological rules as the “Default Mode Network” and asks readers to question whether their perceived personalities and boundaries help them find happiness and freedom. O’Keeffe explores emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and free will, and intersperses many personal anecdotes; however, information is haphazardly presented, and many chapters are overly brief and lack comprehensive analysis. With a goal of defining “what you know to be authentic and true within you,” O’Keeffe targets her message to practitioners of any tradition, leaning more towards psychological and meditative exercises that require no specialized training. Any person, O’Keeffe writes, is able to dive into their own psyche, explore the lasting effects of trauma or a negligent lifestyle, and remove barriers toward attaining freedom from anxiety and attachment. With explicit advice for discovering mantras and developing a meditation (or prayer) practice, O’Keeffe’s multifaceted guide will be empowering to readers of all spiritual beliefs.
