In this revolutionary new book that blends insights from Eastern and Western traditions, spiritual guide and YouTube sensation Aaron Abke shows that enlightenment and liberation from suffering are not lofty and unattainable goals—they are our destiny.

Aaron Abke’s personal journey has taken him from evangelical Christian pastor to fitness model to one of America’s top spiritual thought leaders. Along the way, a profound awakening inspired by Eckhart Tolle drove him to the metaphysical insights he presents in his revolutionary first book.

The Three Beliefs of Ego is a riveting exposition of the nature of suffering and a guide to spiritual freedom built on Abke’s reimagining of the concept of ego. Though it’s often treated as an enemy to be conquered, he instead sees the ego as a product of three core beliefs: lack, attachment, and control. These beliefs then give rise to the primary emotions of sadness, anger, and fear—the root causes of human suffering. From this paradigm-shifting premise, Abke takes readers on an inward journey to transcend these three beliefs and clear a path to inner peace.

Central to this approach is Abke’s groundbreaking Emotional Guidance System, a powerful yet practical tool for pinpointing the ego’s three core beliefs as they shape our thoughts and actions. Blending principles drawn from both Western and Eastern traditions, the simple practice outlined in the book provides a comprehensive and down-to-earth route to “no-reason happiness,” which is accessible to seekers at any stage of their journey. Built on clear and transformative insights, The Three Beliefs of Ego is truly a blueprint for practical enlightenment and lasting spiritual liberation.
