About this listen
Working hard to become spiritually elite?
Have you ever wondered why you can't find the path to enlightenment? Have you struggled with expensive meditation techniques and special diets, elite teachers, and all sorts of other crazy notions just trying to one day, finally, awaken to complete freedom and total peace (perhaps with a hefty dose of bliss as well)?
Stop!
In You're Trying Too Hard, Joey Lott explains exactly that - you are trying too hard, and you will never achieve your goals precisely because you already have freedom. Stop trying everything under the sun to bring yourself to true enlightenment. Stop searching for wiser, more special teachers. Stop worrying about lineage and ego and diet and the self. Stop everything. Remain only with direct experience, and let true clarity at least reveal itself.
Clarity is the simplicity of being. Clarity is simply seeing what is, as it is.
Are you ready? Listen to this book now, and set foot on the only path to so-called "enlightenment" you will ever need.

Quite repetitive
it was worth a read however it's no magic read, it's pretty repetitive regarding living in the present over and over.

Refreshingly demystifying
This is a sober appraisal of what other books deliberately over glorify. In this way Joey actually brings peace whereas other books bring another path of suffering to tread.

Challenging - just in the right way
I, possibly just like you, have been searching. So long spent between various teachers and teachings, this challenges that approach. It brings scepticism to both the search and oneself. I loved it. Now I find myself trying to focus differently and my koan is 'what is this?'

Utter nonsense
Repetitive pointing out that reality is just this. Perhaps I should just sit in a chair my whole life and observe arising thoughts and feelings.
