It opens on how you believe that everything in your life is a choice. But the decision to choose was never yours. Something older and faster has already chosen for you.
That’s what this book is about — the machine that runs you. The habits, the identity, the reactions are all decided before you do, then you are handed the feeling of having decided for yourself. You’re just the narrator. Fifty-six dispatches, drawing on Spinoza, Gurdjieff, and modern neuroscience.
It is not a book about becoming a better person. It’s about seeing clearly enough to stop lying to yourself. Self-knowledge is mostly subtraction.
It’s called The Machine That Runs You. It’s on Amazon now — link’s right here.
Prepare for your ego to reject every single page.
