The World Must Nothing.

The title is grammatically wrong. The content is experientially real. The message is a potential journey to liberation — from the tyranny of unexamined lives and unmet expectations, directed at realities that simply do not care.

“Live your life as you see fit. That's not selfish. Selfish is to demand that others live their lives as you see fit.” Anthony de Mello

Why am I writing this book, and why now?

For sixteen years I have worked with people of all ages — from 13 to 82. Hundreds of hurt souls, in therapy, in pursuit of relief from distress and regret. Too often I have heard a student, a scholar, or an adult say: "How did I not know this? It seems so obvious — yet it's been so elusive, and so costly, in my life. This stuff should be taught at school."

I've been there too. And these thoughts still visit me — whenever a solution becomes painfully obvious, all too late. So I've decided to share what I have lived, and what I have witnessed in the therapy room, both as the one counselled and as the counsellor.
