Sample Book Insights:

#1 When we stop arguing with reality, we feel balanced and at ease. When we continue to argue with it, we feel tense and frustrated. When we accept reality as it is, action becomes simple, fluid, and fearless.

#2 There are three kinds of business: yours, mine, and God's. If you are mentally in someone else's business, you are not present in your own. To understand the three kinds of business is to be able to stay in your own.

#3 We can’t control our thoughts, but we can control the attachment we have to them. We can make friends with our thoughts, and through inquiry, we can understand them and make them interesting rather than frightening.

#4 When you’re operating on uninvestigated theories of what’s going on, you’re in the dream. When this happens, you may want to test the truth of your theories by doing The Work on them. The Work always leaves you with less of your uncomfortable story.
