Why chasing after expressive individualism, experiences, and desires always fails to deliver on its promise of happiness.Today we are told to be true to ourselves, look within for answers, and follow our hearts. But when we put our own happiness first, we experience record-breaking levels of aimlessness, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Self-centeredness always fails to deliver the fulfillment we're seeking.In Don't Follow Your Heart, Thaddeus Williams debunks the "ten commandments of self-worship," which include popular propaganda, like:#liveyourbestlife: Thou shalt always act in accord with your chief end - to glorify and enjoy yourself forever.#followyourheart: Thou shalt obey your emotions at all costs.#yolo: Thou shalt pursue the rush of boundary-free experience.
