Synopsis

Our identities are built on the stories we tell ourselves about our experiences, other people, and the world, and on the beliefs that we're truly separate beings and that there's something wrong with us-the roots of all suffering. But when you have the courage to really inquire, you discover that your story is not real, your image is not real, and even your woundedness is not real. All that's left is truth: you are not the person you've taken yourself to be, and you're certainly not alone. With the Living Inquiries, you have an effective, structured method for realizing that you are not separate or deficient.

In The Art of Finding Yourself, Robertson shares how her own sense of suffering-especially the deep, painful belief that there was something wrong with her-led her to the Living Inquiries, and what this self-inquisitive process looks like in real life. In reflecting on her own personal journey, she helps you explore and unravel the stories that keep you feeling isolated and not good enough. Living the inquiries means approaching life without protecting your story, defending your self-image, or hiding from your deepest pain. It's living with no added analysis, interpretation, judgment, or theorizing, and it can transform your life!

No matter how flawed or enlightened you think you are, no matter how much work you think you've done or left undone, you're always faced with life and influenced by your own stories-and getting beyond those stories requires a deep, inward journey. With this book, you'll discover what it means to realize you are not the separate self you thought you were, and find engaging, insightful reflections on how to move forward in life using the transformative Living Inquiries.

Media Reviews
Fiona Robertson's succinct volume is a personal guide to the Living Inquiries, the self-liberation method of which she is a highly adept facilitator. She shows us how fearless and open inquiry can free us of the 'seeming self, ' the illusory yet powerful tyrant that keeps us stuck in a limited world with limited possibilities.
--Gabor Mat , MD, author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, When the Body Says No, and Scattered, and coauthor of Hold On to Your Kids
The Art of Finding Yourself by Fiona Robertson offers a cornucopia of information and wisdom about awakening and the Living Inquiries. Read it straight through or pick a chapter at random and the result will be the same--an insightful 'aha' moment, a shift in perception, or a dropping into the direct experience of that which she points to. The Art of Finding Yourself is a great little read--which could quite possibly lead to a great BIG change.
--J. Stewart Dixon, author, teacher, and founder of Blue Collar Enlightenment
The Art of Finding Yourself is an immensely helpful and practical guide to dismantling our identification with our stories, staying fully present with our denied and difficult underlying emotions, and learning to rest in natural curiosity and awareness, in full acceptance of whatever arises. Fiona's personal vulnerability and profound clarity shine throughout her book, which I highly recommend.
--Susan Thesenga, spiritual teacher, author of The Undefended Self and Love Unbroken, mother and grandmother, and cofounder, with her husband Donovan, of Sevenoaks Retreat Center in Madison, VA
Fiona Robertson's work is at the leading edge of the marriage of Eastern spirituality with Western psychotherapy. Deep spirituality can so easily become a way for people to avoid the psychological challenges of life, but The Art of Finding Yourself is a book that makes spirituality real, taking it right into our pain, where it can have its greatest effect.
--Tim Freke, deep life philosopher and author of Deep Awake
