A Powerful 5-Step Process That Can Immediately Bring You More Peace

Do you want to stop living with stress, shame, social anxiety, depression, loneliness, anger, or sadness? It certainly seems as though these emotions are inevitable, and directly created by our circumstances. However, it is possible to discover that all your unwanted emotions are actually created by thoughts – and each of these emotions can vanish in an instant if you just stop believing the thoughts that create them.

When You Don't Believe Words, Those Words Don't Create Emotions

If a random person tells you, "The world is going to end tomorrow", and you believe them, what would you feel? Fear. But if you didn't believe them at all, then how would their comment make you feel? You almost certainly wouldn't feel afraid. This demonstrates that when you believe someone's words to be true, those words create emotions. But if you don't believe someone's words, those same words don't have the power to create emotions.

The same is true of the words (thoughts) in your mind. If you believe a negative thought about yourself or your life, that thought will create an unwanted emotion. However, if you don't believe that thought, it quite simply won't create the unwanted emotion.

The Impact Of Disbelieving The Thoughts That Create Your Emotions

When you disbelieve a thought that is creating one of your unwanted emotions, that emotion will instantly dissolve. As you disbelieve more of the thoughts that create your suffering, you will be happier in more situations, and the more you will be living in the moment.

This Book Will Help You To:

  • Stop worrying about others' opinions
  • Lose your anxiety about the future
  • Stop feeling sad, angry, or guilty about the past
  • Lose your sense of lack or loneliness
  • Stop feeling ashamed or unworthy

Great book ruined by annoying voice

The book is great and profound, Noah is a genius. But he couldn't have made a worse choice for narrator. The female narrator has a very low-pitched, unnatural voice that I find extremely annoying. It sounds like she's whispering in your ear the whole time.

My first audio book...

Although I have the Kindle edition of 'A Guide to the Present Moment', I wanted to have this version for the moments when reading wasn't feasible. The narrator has a calming voice, and it compliments the words beautifully. Thank you once again, Noah, you rock. Stay present. Peace.

Is all the opposite, is movement of peace and is very constant in all the book.

Most helpful self help book in my life

This book will help you question thoughts, the sad reality you think you're stuck with. It's freeing, and despite reading Echart Tolle, Tony Robbins, countless other helpful things, this book as really got to the bottom of what matters and what doesn't, and how to change your life via through what actually changes it, your thoughts. The questions it provides are incredibly powerful, and if not right away, will begin eroding long held beliefs that keep you feeling sad or anxious, etc.

I recommend this book with my full heart.

Narrator review

I am having a hard time with the whispering narrator. I think Noah should have done it himself.
