About this listen
Learn how to overcome anxiety, self-doubt, and self-sabotage without needing to rely on motivation or willpower – now in a beautiful, expanded edition with even more personalized guidance.
“An essential first step to letting go of that suffering.” —Simon Sinek
“An inspirational guide.” —Deepak Chopra
“The tools necessary to rediscover our intuition and to create a future aligned with our individual goals and inspiration.” —Dr. Nicole LePera
“A relatable guide that shows all of us how to free ourselves from toxic overthinking and replace it with inner peace.” —Lori Gottlieb
“Brilliant and easy solutions to avoid overthinking.” —Francesc Miralles
“A thoughtful way to help you retrain your brain." —Apple Books
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 this book, 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The space we create within ourselves is the source of infinite possibilities for us to choose peace and a new experience of life.

When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap. In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

A revolutionary system to get one per cent better every day. People think when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions – doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits.

Every person is born a creator, but the world has conditioned us to believe that we are not. Most of us are not fulfilled because we have forgotten who we truly are and what we were created to do — create. There is a reason that one of the most fulfilling, expansive, and healing actions we can do as humans is to create using our gifts. The reason many of us do not create is not that we don’t know how, but simply that we are afraid and think ourselves out of it, even though we know deep down it is what we want to be doing every single day.
