In this book, you'll discover the root cause of all psychological and emotional suffering and how to achieve freedom of mind to effortlessly create the life you've always wanted to live.

Although pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

This book offers a completely new paradigm and understanding of where our human experience comes from, allowing us to end our own suffering and create how we want to feel at any moment.

New in this expanded edition:

  • New chapters addressing reader questions and feedback
  • Journaling prompts and contemplative exercises to let go of negative ruminative thinking
  • Original poetry to uplift, encourage, and inspire


In This Book, You’ll Discover:

  • 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 break free from negative thought loops
  • How to let go of anxiety, self-doubt, self-sabotage, and self-destructive habits
  • How to effortlessly create from a state of abundance, flow, and ease
  • How to develop the superpower of being okay with uncertainty
  • How to access your intuition and inner wisdom beyond the limitations of thinking


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.

There is not a lot of books that reframe your understanding of stress and anxiety like this one. It's more than just a self help book. It is a book that gives meaning to the emotions we all feel. 10/10

So I thought the first edition was amazing and really thought it was going to be hard to improve upon, but he did. If you are on any type of spiritual journey or are having issues with anxiety I highly recommend this book. If you practice the methods it can really help you eliminate most of your negative thinking.

Even Better than the First

Short, but powerful distinctions on the negative power and danger of overthinking. Book seeks not to give truth, but lead us to it and does a masterful job of this:)
