Description

The Tao of Ordinariness: Humility and Simplicity in a Narcissistic AgeThis book is an invitation to come home to your authentic self in a world that is frequently mesmerized by "spin," narcissism, fantasy, and exhibitionism. Psychology and classic wisdom literature have, in various ways, long recognized the value for simply becoming who you are (i. e., ordinariness). However, this call is becoming increasingly drowned out by the many other voices that emphasize publicity and image making over authenticity and humility.

This book is an invitation to come home to your authentic self in a world that is frequently mesmerized by "spin," narcissism, fantasy, and exhibitionism. Psychology and classic wisdom literature have, in various ways, long recognized the value for simply becoming who you are (i.e., ordinariness). However, this call is becoming increasingly drowned out by the many other voices that emphasize publicity and image-making over authenticity and humility. Renowned therapist and author Robert Wicks has written The Tao of Ordinariness as a way of beginning to address these tendencies in contemporary society.

In this new countercultural work, the strength and joy of exploring who you are - and proceeding to share yourself with others in a way that they too can reclaim themselves - is revisited from a range of vantage points. The author specifically reexamines themes of humility, simplicity, letting go, self-awareness, "alonetime," resilience, and mentoring. In an era when people increasingly measure self-worth by external measures, such as the number of likes and views and followers on social media feeds (which have many individuals chasing impossible fantasies and living with a constant fear of "missing out"), Wicks offers a return to your authentic self.

Smells awful
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This smells awful. Like dead roses. I find it does make skin smoother however it does leave a sticky residue that lasts.

Dove retinol

This retinol is super good. It’s moisturizing and leaves my skin glowing all day. The price for it isn’t bad either.

Best Lotion Ever
This is honestly one of the best lotions I’ve used. The Dove Body Cream Serum leaves my skin feeling super soft, smooth, and hydrated all day without feeling greasy. It really helped improve my rough, dry skin after just a few uses, and the scent is light and clean. Definitely a new favorite!

Yes! Cannot go wrong after hot shower.
They can pump out all the fancy moisturizers and lotions they want - I always come back to the originals. Dove has a brand reputation which never fails. This cream serum is awesome for all over my body after a hot shower (bc it kinda dries out my skin). Face and body, it works. Apply after shower before bed and you have a whole skincare routine. Cannot beat the price for less than $10! This is one of three I bought in this line and each is as good as the next.

“Dove Pro-Ceramide Body Cream Serum – Deep Hydration and Skin Repair”
Title: “Dove Pro-Ceramide Body Cream Serum – Deep Hydration and Skin Repair” Review: This Dove body cream feels rich and very moisturizing without being too heavy. It absorbs well into the skin and leaves it soft, smooth, and hydrated for a long time. The pro-ceramide formula helps improve dryness and supports the skin barrier with regular use. It also has a pleasant, light scent that isn’t overpowering. Overall, a great daily body cream for dry or sensitive skin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
