Book Review: The Ten Worlds
The book The Ten Worlds, authored by Alex Lekerman and Ash ElDifrawi, is an insightful exploration within the realm of psychology. The authors delve into the concept of happiness and the pathways to achieve it. They argue that the fundamental issue lies in people’s quest for genuine, long-lasting happiness, which often remains elusive. This ongoing pursuit can lead to confusion and anxiety. Lekerman and ElDifrawi emphasize that an individual’s life is not solely defined by their circumstances or external factors but is profoundly influenced by their thoughts, mindset, and internal beliefs. They propose that by altering one’s beliefs, a person can transform their life.
The authors also illustrate the struggles of a woman named April, who battles depression following her husband’s departure. Her narrative unfolds her emotional turmoil, pain, and anger, as well as her desperate attempts to win him back. Throughout April’s story, Lekerman and ElDifrawi highlight the central illusion she grapples with: her perceived inability to resolve her issues, particularly her belief that she is unlovable.
