R.Khan

The Self You Buried is about the gap between who you show the world and who you actually are. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and the stories of real people who found their way back to themselves. R. Khan offers not a self-help programme but something rarer: an honest account of what it actually costs to keep performing and what becomes possible when you finally stop. This book is for you if you have ever: Driven home from a perfectly pleasant evening and wondered who exactly showed up to it Said yes when everything inside you said no Built a life that looks right from the outside and feels slightly wrong from the inside Performed warmth, agreement, or enthusiasm you did not actually feel Forgotten, somewhere along the way, what you actually want  "The self you are looking for is not an idealised future version of you.
It is the current version without the management."Readers of Oliver Burkeman, Alain de Botton, and Brené Brown will recognise a new essential voice.
