What is the real cause of 95% of our suffering?
There are more people living on the planet than ever before and fewer of us have the skills to be able to create tolerable and sustainable lives.
We are struggling emotionally at home, work, and school because our relationships are not working and our choices frequently cause more unwanted outcomes and problems we cannot solve.
Anxiety, stress, and other negative states are, simply put, emotions we experience when we cannot create outcomes we can tolerate or solve the problems we either encounter or create.
Take the quiz to understand why you are struggling.
