THE NORMAL STATE

Returning to Presence in a World Addicted to Ego

The Normal State
Returning to Presence in a World Addicted to Ego
by Josh Graham

What if your natural state isn’t something you have to achieve—but simply uncover?

In a world that glorifies hustle, identity, and performance, The Normal State invites you back to something deeper: the quiet you forgot. Through poetic insight, trauma-aware language, and grounded clarity, this book dismantles the myth of the separate self—and reveals what’s always been underneath.

You won’t find techniques, promises, or spiritual jargon.
You’ll find something simpler.
Cleaner.
Already here.

Whether you’re burned out, lost in self-improvement, or just longing for peace that isn’t manufactured—this is your mirror. A reminder that you don’t need to transcend, escape, or become someone else.

You just need to remember how to stop being in the way.

🟢 Ideal for:

• Seekers tired of seeking

• Trauma survivors ready to return to themselves

• Therapists, coaches, and mindfulness practitioners

• Anyone curious about presence without ideology

“Presence isn’t a goal. It’s what’s left when the noise ends.”
