Book Description

18 May 2012
The state of humanity is down to the state of its thinking. It is the misunderstanding of the ‘function’ of individual thought systems that causes the problems, pain and suffering in the world. This ‘reactive’ thinking interferes with the flow of creative intelligence. When busy thinking subsides, new thought is available, and with it, innovation and resilience. The ‘trick,’ is simply to see how the ‘trick is done’. That’s it, no more. No processes, just an understanding. I point towards this understanding of the ‘human operating system’, which turns cause and effect, completely inside-out. The very softest thing of all can ride like a galloping horse through the hardest of things. Like water, like water penetrating rock. And so the invisible enters in. That is why I know it is wise to act by DOING NOTHING. And how few, how very few understand this! - Tao Te Ching What if you were able to live a happy life, effortlessly... right now!? What if you discovered the secret that has been talked about by mystics throughout the ages, that was not only incredibly simple but was also accessible to you without doing a thing? What if every area of your life could be improved with one realisation, one thought, one simple understanding? Damian Mark Smyth is a teacher of this understanding and he takes you through some common misconceptions about how we create our own realities to help you realise that humanity has, for the most part, been looking in the wrong direction. The ‘outside-in’ world of fame and money is not the way to be fulfilled - just look at the amount of rich and famous people in rehab and therapy. His approach is more in tune with who you really are. From relationships to money, the business environment, parenting to sport and even addiction, Damian will show you where the secret lies and how you too can access it, without doing anything. Here is what readers are saying about ‘DO NOTHING!’: I can’t believe how powerful this book is! “I’m impressed with this book. Read DO NOTHING! The wonders of the internal universe await.” Jack Pransky Ph.D (Author of ‘Somebody Should Have Told Us!’) This book is amazing! This is not the kind of book that teaches you, it is a book that TOUCHES you... I am now a big step closer to loving life. DO NOTHING! goes straight to your heart, it is a piece of music as much as a written text. It is very, very CONTAGIOUS!!! There is a happiness virus somewhere in the text! You open the book & have no choice but to get infected by it DO NOTHING’S chapter on money is one of the more useful things I’ve read in my life. Without this book, my life would be very different right now (and not in a good way!). DO NOTHING! is the missing link! Ever had trouble with stress, depression, anxiety, doubt or fear? This book will revolutionise the way you live. I just wish I’d read it earlier!! This is what the author, Damian Mark Smyth says himself about the Principles outlined within the pages of ‘DO NOTHING!’: “There are three formless facts that create our reality from moment to moment. Like gravity, they exist whether we believe them or not. With them, not only do we create our world through our thoughts, but we also create our world ‘of thought’. Merely by having an understanding of how they work allows us freedom from worry, stress and fear and opens us up to the infinite potential of the universe through creativity, compassion and love. And the way to access this inner source of wisdom is to DO NOTHING! Because we already have it. As the saying goes: “You are already enlightened, you just don’t know it yet...”

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasure to read 29 May 2012
By Robert
Format:Paperback
A very enjoyable read, full of stories and anecdotes that give a taste of how the Principles are at work in the different areas of our lives. This is one book I would be confident in giving to someone who is interested in experiencing a better quality of life, but had not yet been exposed to the principles.

Damian's writing style is easy to follow, and his understanding of the Principles shows through. He respectfully honours the teachers that came before him, by referencing and pointing towards their great works.

This book will fit in nicely with your other Principles based material.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on the Principles! 12 Feb 2013
By Sloop
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been interested in the 3 principles for the past year. At first it was the intellectual 'getting it' where as now I feel I'm 'living it' and feel amazing for it. I got this book mainly as I saw Jack Pransky had written the forward. Jacks book 'Somebody Should have Told Us' really accelerated my understanding of the principles, I felt it was written in an easier to understand way than say Syd Banks works. 'Do Nothing' has taken this even further and it written as if one of my mates was explaining things to me. So rather than grappling with understanding Damian storytelling has helped me come up with new insights and deepen my overall knowledge with minimum effort from me (if you enjoy something its easy, right). My take on the principles is why complicate something that is very simple & I'm glad Damians is the same. I'll now head back to Syds works and enjoy the insights I gain from them with my greater level of understanding..Thanks Damian.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life is easy when you see the illusion!! 22 May 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really resonate with what Damian Smyth has pointed us towards in this book. I always felt I was trying too hard to
find where happiness really lies, and in this book Damain points us back inside, to where we are already perfect and where
true love and freedom has always resided. There is "nothing to do" when you really see you already have it all when you get out
of your own way!!
