About this audiobook

This book is a compilation of teachings told in short stories about the author's attempts to undo the done. He offers this little book as a more ardent, and hopefully lucid, attempt to explain the paramount importance of doing nothing as a way to undo oneself.


-----------------------------


"In my experience, all our problems do indeed stem from this hyperactive and delusional thinking we have acquired over time.


There is a way to eradicate the light-speed, blind reactions and the habitual confusion. The way is very simple. It boils down to just two words: do nothing. That s it. Do nothing. Sit quietly in a room alone and do nothing. Watch the monkey mind and do not try to fix it or eliminate it or drown it out or engage it.


This is doing non-doing. Observe the mind, on autopilot as usual, screaming editorial comments from the sidelines like some frenzied play-by-play announcer and do nothing about it. Don't turn the monologue into a dialogue. Do nothing. 'Nothing to see here, folks. Let s keep it moving.'"


—Ian McCrorie
