"This is the best self-improvement book on the market!" is the summation for all of the five star ratings on Amazon. Although countless self-help books have been written, none have been able to translate psychological theory into practical, day-to-day application as well as this one does.

By integrating Eastern and Western philosophy with science and religion, "Being the Cause" provides a concise, easy-to-read guide for living. Dr. Durst promotes the concept that we are 100% responsible for everything in our experience and for our reactions to life's events. Assuming the "Cause" position ("I am responsible for my life and experiences") rather than an "Effect" position, (They are are doing it to me") is a break through moment for people. This focus provides not only increased knowledge, but also the impetus to change. In so doing, it directs us to greater insight, satisfaction and fulfillment.
