Prisons we choose to live inside
Book • 1986
Doris Lessing's "Prisons We Choose to Live Inside" explores the self-imposed limitations and mental constraints that prevent individuals from achieving true freedom and understanding.
Lessing argues that society and its prevailing ideologies often create invisible prisons that confine our thinking and behavior.
She critiques the tendency to accept superficial explanations and resist deeper, more complex perspectives.
The book encourages readers to question their own beliefs and assumptions, urging them to break free from the mental and emotional prisons they have unknowingly constructed.
By challenging conventional wisdom and promoting critical self-reflection, Lessing inspires a journey towards intellectual and spiritual liberation.
