Synopsis

The Out of Room Experience is the story of how James Mattingly was liberated from the captivation of an immaterial room. This room was his place of refuge, and it had a life of its own. Its walls were built as a defense against reality. Behind them lived his real self, afraid of being exposed, yet longing to emerge. And while that half was being suppressed, the room composed a false self whose goal was to fabricate the appearance of happiness. His happy self became the imposter who posed as a success for the community. This split-person process was proposed by the room with the promise of peace. But it was fraudulent. The splitting into two selves became an illusory routine, a chronic withdrawal, and a loft y escape from reality.

This is the author's personal story of how excessive introspection led him to the isolation and despair of this analogical room. But it was introspection that eventually began the quest of rescuing his withdrawn self and bringing him back to reality-a reliable reality in which his real self sought to live fearlessly and authentically.

Présentation de l'éditeur

A Journey of Introspection The Out of Room Experience" gives autobiographical account of one man's internal struggles In his new autobiography, The Out of Room Experience: Based on: The Forgotten Notes, James J. Mattingly shares the story of how he rose from the depths of despair, reconciled with his inner demons and became the man he wanted the world to see - both inside and out. Culled from Mattingly's deeply personal journal entries, The Out of Room Experience fearlessly reveals the depression and negative thinking that kept Mattingly trapped in what he refers to as an "immaterial room"; one that existed only within his own mind. Persistent self-doubt and feelings of alienation made him a captive in this imaginary room despite his efforts to convince family and friends that everything was alright. Mattingly knows he's not alone in his experience. Insecurity, fear and confusion have always been human characteristics, and they don't disappear overnight. Rather than attempt to rid himself completely of these natural personality traits, Mattingly instead focuses on managing them to find balance in his life. "I've always appeared to be a normal, down to earth person living the everyday life", the author states. "But there's always been and, in part, still is, this nagging thought process that seems to live on my shoulder tempting me to despair and tempting me to separate from reality in a way which damages my intellectual, emotional and relational life". The Out of Room Experience shares valuable coping techniques that readers from all walks of life can relate to and apply to their own circumstances".
