She believes that a person can only truly achieve happiness and success by finding a balance between these two opposing forces.Throughout the book, Cobbe draws on examples from literature, philosophy, and her own personal experiences to illustrate her points. She also discusses the role of religion and spirituality in self-development and self-abnegation, and how these concepts can be applied in a practical way in everyday life.Overall, Self-Development And Self-Abnegation is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on personal growth and the pursuit of happiness.
