Befriending Your Stranger

by Arnie Freiman

Overview

Dear friend,

Does it ever feel like you're living a life that's not your own?

At first we just want to make our parents happy, avoid punishment, or fit in. We want to get the job, keep the relationship, or make it through the day. Slowly, we hide a little bit—we give away a little bit—until we realize we have been living another person's life. Some crisis, breakdown, depression, anxiety, or bad

It's time to meet your Stranger. Your Stranger is who you were before you hid or bargained yourself away. Your Stranger is your truth, your connection to the Divine, and the shared spark with every person you meet.

Through years of study, travel, trial, error, and hard work, I have developed a process to awaken your inner balance, drive, and intuition called the Eight Qualities of the Heart. Each chapter contains a description of the quality, as well as philosophies, stories, poetry, and exercises to help you explore and implement it in your own life. There is no microwavable solution to your problems. You can't just pop in a self-help book and wait until you hear the "ding" of inner contentment. But you can start your journey here.

Love, Arnie

Editorial Reviews

Befriending Your Stranger is a fantastic, inspiring self-help book. I had the opportunity to get my hands on an early reader copy and ended up falling in love with the different teachings this book has to offer. In my own life, I often question why my life has taken a certain path and not always where I want to go. But, Befriending Your Stranger took me back down to Earth, reminding me to take my life and happiness into my own hands.

Goodreads - Brennah Hale

I'm not always into self-help titles, but Freiman's book was accessible, grounded, and truly made me think differently about my life. Freiman's book works for anyone, whether you believe in some sort of higher power or not. If you want to become more connected with your inner self, I highly recommend this book.
