Thrive Regardless by Lillian Nyambura

‎What if much of what you call “yourself” was never truly chosen by you? ‎ ‎We inherit names, beliefs, expectations, identities, definitions of success, and ideas about how life should work. Then we spend years living inside them—often without questioning where they came from. ‎ ‎THE BORROWED SELF is a philosophical journey through the illusions, assumptions, and perspectives that shape our reality. ‎ ‎Why are we never satisfied for long? ‎Why does the finish line keep moving? ‎How much do we actually control? ‎How much of what we know is limited by the way we perceive? ‎And how much of our identity did we really choose? ‎ ‎Through personal experiences, thought experiments, and philosophical reflection, Derick Mwambush examines desire, poverty, possession, knowledge, perspective, identity, control, and the things we rarely notice. ‎ ‎This is not a book that claims to have all the answers. ‎ ‎It is an invitation to question the answers you already have. ‎ ‎Maybe discovering yourself begins with asking how much of yourself was borrowed. ‎
