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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eDon't Follow Your Heart\u003c\/em\u003e, Thaddeus Williams debunks the \"ten commandments of self-worship,\" which include popular propaganda, like: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#liveyourbestlife: Thou shalt always act in accord with your chief end--to glorify and enjoy yourself forever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#followyourheart: Thou shalt obey your emotions at all costs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#yolo: Thou shalt pursue the rush of boundary-free experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliams builds a case that this type of self-worship is not authentic, satisfying, or edgy. Instead, its rehashing what is literally humanity's oldest lie. He calls on a new generation of mavericks and renegades, heretics who refuse to march in unison with the self-obsessed herd. With a fascinating blend of theology, philosophy, science, psychology, and pop culture, Williams points us to a life beyond self-defeating dogmas to a more meaningful life centered on Someone infinitely more interesting, satisfying, and awesome than ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFeaturing stories from Carl Trueman, Joni Eareckson Tada, J.P, Moreland, Josh McDowell, Alisa Childers, and more.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Following the herd is leading our generation off a cliff.
