techniques centered around conscious awareness.
In time, the knee healed and my other problems were resolved. I didn’t lose a single day’s work.

As it turned out, my springtime trial was just the start.
As I saw more and more success with this choosing-to-be-happy thing (sometimes to unexpected, almost supernatural degrees), my natural reaction was to share my story, in hopes of aiding the legion of incurables in which I’d once been a member. And, as a matter of circumstance, the means was clear: the written word. After being forced out of my hobbies as my illness progressed, I’d picked up writing, resulting in some smalltime publications of short stories and a novel. So it was only logical that I author a book detailing my experience. It would be a short memoir, I decided, perhaps a hundred pages long.
I started by writing notes—nothing big or fancy, just notes about where I’d been, how I’d gotten there, and what it taught me. However, as these notes amassed, it was clear that there would be no memoir, but instead a self-help book of some kind, something that would target not just the sick and compromised, but anyone. I ran with the idea, and the end result was hundreds of pages of text, all of it describing psychological concepts in the simplified, laymen’s terms that I knew them in. This maze of text formed two books: a parent and its companion volume, dubbed Learn Yourself: A Manual for the Mind. Ironically, there would be little of myself in the finished work, for my story took a back seat to the methods of learning oneself and the mind (and the empowerment this grants).
I believe that anyone can survive life’s rocky parts with little more than a good attitude and a smile, and in the Learn Yourself books, I do my best to explain how. Learn more at https://www.learnyourselfbook.com.
