The Mystery of You

Have we forgotten about being happy in our pursuit of happiness? We have been well trained to go after what we want, but are we missing out on life by always focusing on some future event? In The Mystery of You, Emilio Diez Barroso invites you to uncover a peace that is untouched by the happenings of life and encourages you to discover who you are beyond your familiar identities and roles. He grounds the awakening that was once reserved for monasteries into the nitty-gritty of everyday parenting and business. Emilio shows us how to stop the ways in which we perpetuate our own suffering and claim our inherent capacity to experience the bliss of being fully alive.

Emilio Diez Barroso was a lifelong seeker—seeking recognition, achievement, love, success, and finally, the ultimate carrot: enlightenment. In his pursuit of enlightenment, he was forced to face what all the seeking had been trying to avoid: his own sense of unworthiness. Defeated at the game of avoiding and humbled by the realization of his true nature, he is now dedicated to alleviating suffering in the world. Emilio is married and is a father to three incredible teachers. He is an active investor, philanthropist, and entrepreneur and sits on the board of over a dozen nonprofits. He has a master's in spiritual psychology and resides in Los Angeles.
