• The root cause of all psychological and emotional suffering and how to end it
• How to become unaffected by negative thoughts and feelings
• How to experience unconditional love, peace, and joy in the present, no matter your external circumstances
• How to instantly create a new experience of life if you don’t like the one you’re in right now

• How to effortlessly create from a state of abundance, flow, and ease

No matter what has happened to you, where you are from, or what you have done, you can still find total peace, unconditional love, complete fulfillment, and an abundance of joy in your life. No person is an exception to this. Darkness only exists because of the light, which means even in our darkest hour, light must exist.

Within these pages, you'll find timeless wisdom to empower you with the understanding of our mind's infinite potential to create any experience of life we want, regardless of external circumstances.

Don't Believe Everything You Think is not about rewiring your brain, rewriting your past, or positive thinking. We cannot solve our problems with the same level of consciousness that created them. Tactics are temporary. An expansion of consciousness is permanent.

This book was written to help you go beyond your thinking and discover the truth of what you already intuitively know deep inside your soul.

[brendasteele47 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Changed my way of life. Gave me peace. Great book

[UmSujintraWachira · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This helps me calm and stop thinking too much. As it said on the cover. Great for overthinking and over-reacting people.

[Johnny Yim · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Short, powerful book that I recommend. James, the author of atomic habits, helped publish this book through his publisher. Clear formed a publisher to help put self-published authors on the map.

Great Ideas
Our ability to focus and to enjoy life is sabotaged by the inability of our mind to stay focused on the present. On the task in front of us. This book clearly and simply outlines that issue and strategies to deal with it.

[metanoia hope · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I do not recommend this book. Basically, he tells an over-thinker just to “not think” and everything will be fine. It’s a short book as well. I used an “unlock” for this, which is upsetting.

Very good insight! Easy listen and the workbook activities is a great addition.
