On the war within

Every war within is fought on the assumption that winning ends it. On the War Within argues the opposite: desire is not a vessel waiting to be filled, but a mechanism built to keep manufacturing lack and no victory, no willpower, no attainment has ever closed the file for good. Moving from the ancient problem of knowingly choosing against your own judgment, through the corrosive work of guilt, into the daily discipline of return, and finally toward a sovereignty that has nothing to do with peace of mind, this is a treatise for readers who would rather have an accurate answer than a comfortable one. Not a book about winning the war. A book about learning to fight it , for as long as you live , without ever lying to yourself that it's finished.
