quick - freedom
freedom is not in your ability to follow your desires because that's just obedience... to your desires... [the true captive is the captive of their own desires] [if you are constantly doing whatever your immediate feeling is to do, then you're just as caged as someone who is unable to disobey a human master, if not worse because often, you don't even realise you're obeying something.]
TRUE freedom is REALLY being able to choose what is good for you to do, and then the question is: what's the best thing for me to do?
and then we look at all the good in self-help books and scattered in the rest of the world and realise.. oh wait. that's all in the deen anyway. why not go to the true root itself? follow what the One Who literally created you, Who knows what's best for you guided you towards
