UnTherapy: A Positive Psychology for Enlightened Living
THE STORY BEHIND THIS BOOK
The 21st century has seen a rise in a new kind of stress: technology related stress or techno-stress. People who live in urban areas report feeling less meaning in their lives, less patience, a shorter concentration span, sleep disturbances, shallow breathing, internal and external conflicts, and apathy that drives addictions and other emotional imbalances. This is largely due to a lack of understanding of how to control the thinking mind and, thus, one’s own emotional state of being. We learn at a young age to seek validation and security from people and things, but security is an inside job. Many adults, unfortunately, were never taught how to access it.
I trademarked the term UnTherapy and wrote the book by the same name for the forgotten majority: healthy and well-adjusted people who feel “stuck” in some way: people who have “tried everything” and can’t seem to stop unwanted behavior patterns; people who want to stop procrastinating and get motivated; people who want to restore a sense of well-being; and people who want to live a higher quality of life with less conflict. Unlike orthodox psychology, which focuses on healing the wounds of the past, UnTherapy clients are not considered patients because those who are able to use this mental technology do not suffer from emotional or psychological illnesses and are not diagnosed as “sick”. UnTherapy provides a boost when someone needs to move forward but either doesn’t know how or prefers the accountability of having someone to coach them through change. Past history is irrelevant to the success of present dreams and aspirations, so the question “why” is never asked. Instead the focus is on HOW to get to the preferred state of being. Despite the seeming contradiction in terms, UnTherapy is geared both toward people who drive themselves too hard and people who do not have enough drive. It's meant to be an aphrodisiac for restoring authentic happiness. |
