The pain we endure from these areas stem from an ideology that's been instilled within us throughout our entire life; an ideology of helplessness. Merging philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Plato, Sigmund Freud, and Marcus Aurelius, with the minds of iconic figures like Langston Hughes, Tupac, and Joseph Campbell, The Cobblestone Flowerpot provides new perspectives to life's most challenging recurring themes and forces readers to push back on conventional thought. 27 Challenges. 1 Pattern.
