Through this exploration, the book delves into the complexities of human nature, examining how a false self can manifest itself and lead to unhealthy choices. It takes the reader on a journey to encounter both the good and evil that exists within all of us, a journey that was first introduced in the creation story of Genesis.
Maria Liviero, based in the UK, has received an award for her first book that had been in the planning for five
years. With the many ups and downs of writing, she is persistent and determined to reach her goal and to
share how personal struggles can create an empty canvas to recreate the reader’s life, because there is no end
but a beginning.
She obtained a psychology degree, along with MSc in addictive behaviour, and diploma in psychotherapy. In
her experience, the dark side of human nature is of equal or even greater importance—without being
conscious of our shadow we continue to live in fear, discord with ourselves and others. Maria believes to
understand ourselves we must travel the path of self-discovery. This can mean transcending our false ego to
live a fulfilling life without the shackles that we have created like the internet, social media, mobiles phones,
addictions, relationships, negative thinking (and behaviours), and statements like I want, I must, I need in spite
of the other person.
Liviero’s passion is to show how suffering is an important part of life that must not be repressed or pushed
aside by using a person, a thing or a situation to relieve us from the inner despair but take the experience to
evolve emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. At the time, it may seem impossible to get out of the situation,
but there is a way out with guidance and support. The message is that a mistake is never a mistake, it’s the
human brain relearning.
