Description

The Tao of Ordinariness: Humility and Simplicity in a Narcissistic AgeThis book is an invitation to come home to your authentic self in a world that is frequently mesmerized by "spin," narcissism, fantasy, and exhibitionism. Psychology and classic wisdom literature have, in various ways, long recognized the value for simply becoming who you are (i. e., ordinariness). However, this call is becoming increasingly drowned out by the many other voices that emphasize publicity and image making over authenticity and humility.

This book is an invitation to come home to your authentic self in a world that is frequently mesmerized by "spin," narcissism, fantasy, and exhibitionism. Psychology and classic wisdom literature have, in various ways, long recognized the value for simply becoming who you are (i.e., ordinariness). However, this call is becoming increasingly drowned out by the many other voices that emphasize publicity and image-making over authenticity and humility. Renowned therapist and author Robert Wicks has written The Tao of Ordinariness as a way of beginning to address these tendencies in contemporary society.

In this new countercultural work, the strength and joy of exploring who you are - and proceeding to share yourself with others in a way that they too can reclaim themselves - is revisited from a range of vantage points. The author specifically reexamines themes of humility, simplicity, letting go, self-awareness, "alonetime," resilience, and mentoring. In an era when people increasingly measure self-worth by external measures, such as the number of likes and views and followers on social media feeds (which have many individuals chasing impossible fantasies and living with a constant fear of "missing out"), Wicks offers a return to your authentic self.

Extremely affordable and good quality for price
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
This dashcam might not be the most advanced, but it 100% does the job you need it to. For the price, it's unbeatable. I got into an accident in November 2025 and this dashcam captured the incident clearly, allowing me to be paid out with my claim being 100% ironclad not-at-fault. If you're looking for a good dashcam that doesn't require an app to use or extensive wiring, this is the one you want.

doesn’t come with a bag to store razor after use
This came charged and was easy to use. I love the double sided razor concept, it made it easy to shave upwards and down at once. The speed is amazing getting enough hairs each stroke. It made it easy to get a clean shaven look by simply holding the skin taut. The battery life was well, I used this for half an hour, and it remained speedy and effective. I also did not find that my skin got irritated. It just felt smooth afterwords but irritation wasn’t my biggest concern as I would have applied an aloe gel to soothe the area If i found any irritations. Overall the quality was nice. Although, I will say I was expecting a small bag to be able to set the razor in after shaving since it just came in the packaging.

Does the job
Simple, does the job, but is pretty loud. It comes with a cable and a stand. Now, it does not leave you with a close shave so it’s best for maintenance or pre wax.
