And soon enough, I published my first book, ‘Learning to Unlearn.’ The book walks through this process, giving more detail and insight.
‘Learning to Unlearn‘ takes readers through the observations of:
The ego, loyal solider, and persona via connections through the enneagram.
How a religious narrative can be co-opted to produce a people who feel less than, excluded, and needing to produce in order to be validated, accepted, and fulfilled.
The false narrative of the success ladder, and its connection to how we are taught to exploit and mis-use or gifts as a means to prove our identity and earn our belonging.
How we have reduced the greater truths of life to tangible concepts and winnable games and prizes.
The expansive human consciousness – through explorations of spiral dynamics.
How technology and media shape our thought processes, expectations, habits, and desires.
The constraints of conventional constructs –
Intertwining with the narrative of a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Ultra-Marathon Competitor’s climbing, struggles, successes, and failure within all of the aforementioned –
Written through a combination of prose and poetry,
Readers are invited to see beyond the disruption and disconnect
To rediscover the truer nature of who they are and
To reconnect to the joyful, integrated beings they have been the whole time.

“Reconstructing that which you carry, 
use, and see – a process that may help you realign 
or see something anew –
May help you put to rest
 some things that no longer are of good use, 
and are actually weighing you down.”
