Sit With It: A New Paradigm for Living

The relentless pursuit of happiness is causing us harm. We are obsessed with happiness seeking and consumed by constant avoidance of discomfort. This makes life seem meaningless and dull.

Society offers up many solutions to our problems, but they do not work as advertised. Cultural role models (celebrities, politicians, religious authorities, scientists, gurus, and life coaches) aren't any happier than we are, no matter how well they put on appearances.

Sit With It: A New Paradigm for Living explains that we have all inherited a harmful thought paradigm, one which turns us all into pleasure addicts. The people, things, and situations in our lives have been reduced to sources of personal pleasure. Many of us don't even realize that we are trapped in addictive cycles of distress, compulsion, and pleasure seeking.

Asking one simple, yet unexpected, question can disrupt this Status Quo: What do I feel when I sit quietly without distractions?

Sit With It describes a new paradigm for living, one that provides us the opportunity to change our relationship to the people, things, and situations in our lives. The reader is asked to put its message to the test.
