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

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. Anxiety Disorders Mental Health Personal Development Personal Success Psychology & Mental Health Self-Esteem Inspiring Thought-Provoking Emotions

Really easy to understand. It really helped me with over thinking and to understand why we do it. It is good for my adhd mind to work out why we think like we do. Il look out fur more if his books. I never write reviews either.

Easy listen. ADHD dyslexia friendly.

Well the population of people I know who need this book is extensive. I certainly did. A wave of relief hit me as I listened to the words which feel absolutely correct. Having just read ‘the anxious generation’ it would make INCREDIBLE reading and discussion material for 14-21 year olds whose brains are bombarded into thinking (aka suffering) from endless social media. I sincerely hope the two authors could collaborate to bring this thinking to so many who are suffering in this day and age. Superb. Superb. Superb.

Should be on GCSE curriculum and NHS

Really simple yet effective piece of work, the content is as good as you make it. I would say you need some level of a buy in to get the best of it, rather than reject the propositions made by the author.
The chapters are short and narrated in an easy to digest style where you can absorb and reflect on the words whilst doing tedious chores.

If you are curious why things that you know aren't significant to you in the grand scheme of things give you anxiety, I recommend you give this a go.
