Don Joseph Goewey
Your Pitch
In a world where stress is endemic and depression is prevalent -- considerably more so since the pandemic -- Anthony DeMello's simple and eternal message is the light in the darkness -- a relief, a balm and a path to peaceful, happy and stress-free living.
 
DeMello deeply influenced Eckhart Tolle, Rhonda Byrne, Neil Strauss, Adyashanti, Thomas Moore and Paulo Coeho. A Jesuit priest, profound mystic and global spiritual philosopher and leader, Anthony DeMello speaks to us clearly today, during this time of extreme urgency and crisis, even though he left the planet in 1987. 
 
In the newly issued book from Beyond Words (publisher of The Secret), Stop Fixing Yourself: Wake Up, All is Well, Anthony DeMello's, simple and easy-to-grasp concept offers a new way to live that eliminates all the unnecessary struggle, stress, anxiety and pain in life. Leaving one to appreciate in profound joy every moment and everything. 
 
Don Joseph Goewey, who edited this collection of short essays, poems and parables from DeMello into this sublime book, and who is the director of the DeMello Spirituality Center, is reacquainting the world with DeMello's key message of how to simplify life to its core and return to a state of daily, ongoing wonder that we only experience in childhood. Goewey, who has appeared on The Today Show, Dr. Oz, ABC, and NBC, also served as chief administrative officer at Stanford University's Department of Psychiatry.
 

DeMello, born in India in 1931, was groundbreaking in his blending of Eastern and Western spirituality. During his years in the priesthood, he founded the Sadhana Institute in India and published two bestselling masterpieces Awareness and The Way to Love, along with 11 other high regarded books that have been translated into 21 language. He was considered one of the foremost spiritual teachers of the 20th century, traveling globally to deliver this simple concept, which takes a few minutes to grasp. And a lifetime to implement and practice.
 
DeMello's restoration to the pantheon of great spiritual leaders and the publication of Stop Fixing Yourself: Wake Up, All is Well are exceedingly well-timed. One-third of Americans are living with extreme stress and nearly half of Americans (48 percent) believe that their stress has increased over the past five years. Stress is taking a toll on people -- contributing to health problems, poor relationships, and lost productivity at work, according to the American Psychological Association.
