“The truth is that the key to relaxation and finding inner peace doesn’t rely much on work, culture, or consumption. Telling the truth in daily life will completely change your life. People become unhappy over time because they lie to everyone. The best way to uncover your own mental lies is to ask yourself questions:What do I really want out of life?Who is most important to me?Why do I do the things I do?Am I honest with other people?”
