"diagnosing" The Problem Challenge

[kieranperez]

So I've been spending so many months trying to figure out what is the real source of the problems that are going on inside my psyche that's causing so much of suffering and the cause of all my self sabotaging behavior (assuming that is what's going on). I'm truly struggling taking action alone. I feel so defeated and have so much inner turmoil with what feels like hints of guilt and self-doubt whenever I even think about taking action and making a commitment to turn something around. I know I'm suffering from self-esteem issues, surrounded by such a crazy toxic environment, limiting beliefs, etc. However, I'm just so stuck on 1. What the source of all of this is, 2. If it is in fact 1 source, 3. How to prioritize each issue that needs work on and how to strategize improving each one, and last but not least, how to fix each issue. I have SO many books (most from Leo's book list) but, as if I've posted on in the past, don't know where to start. 

 

Could really use use some help on this.

Read 'six pillars of self-esteem' and take action on it.

Really, any of Leo's 5/5 books on emotional mastery could fix 80% of the problems you're having, if not all.

Which 5/5 books on emotional mastery have you read and taken action on. If you took action on even one, I doubt your problem would be that serious.
