What is my purpose?
Why am I here? You've probably read countless self-help books, been to dozens of seminars and workshops, meditated, journaled, and searched under rocks, but have you found any answers yet? Chances are, you're still struggling with daily life. You're still wondering if there's "something more." You're still struggling to attain peace, happiness, enlightenment, and joy. The search for these things is the oldest quest known to humankind, but are we barking up the wrong tree?
Let Go of the Struggle
We tend to believe that people who have found meaning-those who are "self-realized" or "enlightened"-don't ever feel depressed or angry or frustrated. We imagine that they never feel the unpleasant stuff, so we run after what we think they have and often end up more miserable than we started. What if you realized that all feeling states were equally welcome and valid? What if you could finally achieve ultimate peace, freedom, and joy? The good news is that you can and it doesn't involve a path of suffering or mantras or gurus.
The Real Path to Peace
In turns out that all you need is yourself and the present moment. The Feel Good Myth by Joey Lott will set your mind free and unchain you from the bondage of beliefs that have held you miserably captive your entire life. As you begin to separate from the false assumptions that have dominated your beliefs thus far, you'll naturally find more peace, more security, and more ease. The irony is that when we stop struggling to get to the endpoint of heaven or enlightenment or meaning, we realize we have more than we ever knew. Learn to relax, let go, accept yourself, and naturally find the peace you've been searching for your entire life.
Available on Kindle and paperback.
About the Author: "The secret to happiness is to let go of everything - see through every assumption."
Beginning at a young age Joey Lott experienced intensifying anxiety. For several decades he lived with restrictive eating disorders, obsessions, compulsions, and an inescapable fear. By the time he was 30 years old he was physically sick, emotionally volatile, and mentally obsessed with keeping any and all unwanted thoughts and experiences at bay.
At this time Lott was living on a futon mattress in a tiny cabin in the woods. He was so sick that he could barely move. He was deeply depressed and hopeless. All this despite doing all the "right" things such as years of meditation, yoga, various "perfect" diets, clean air, and pure water.
Just when things were at their most dire, a crack appeared in the conceptual world that had formerly been mistaken for reality. By peering into this crack and underneath all the assumptions that had been unquestioned up to that moment, Lott began a great undoing. The revelation of this undoing is that reality is utterly simple, ever-present, seamless, and indivisible.
Lott's books provide a glimpse into the seamless, simple, and joyous nature of reality, offering a glimpse through the crack in conceptual worlds. Whether writing about the ultimate non-dual nature of reality, eating disorders, stress, disease, or any other subject, he offers the invitation to look at things differently, leaving behind the old, out-grown, painful limitations we have used to bind ourselves in suffering. And then, he welcomes you home to the effortless simplicity of yourself as you are.
