A life constructed for us by society can be satisfying for a while, but at a certain point, the tension between who we want to be and who we are becomes unbearable. We want to follow our dreams and find fulfillment. We settle instead for a destiny carved for someone else. When we search for answers in religion or romance, we are still left with a nagging sense of emptiness. Underlying this discontent is a sense of dullness, the feeling that we are asleep at the helm of our own lives. We crave a spark, a shift in perspective-anything to feel alive. Christina Dylag wants to give you permission to live, to explore, to break the barriers of your own little boxes. She wrote this book to expose and unravel the ideologies that we as humans unconsciously hold as truth. By way of personal narrative and philosophical musings, Tiny Little Boxes delves into our predetermined belief systems and how we might reassess or re-approach our conditioned world. Beyond our inherited notions of success, the self, and existence lies a more expansive sense of freedom.
