We are all trying to build a "perfect house" out of building blocks, but the bricks never stay in place. In this talk, Todd Perelmuter explains why our obsession with "perfect" is the very thing destroying our peace. From fighting lizards on a roof to the "leaky roof symphony," learn…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, I understand the urge. I’ve been there. Something crazy happens in my life, and my first instinct is to pull out my phone. Read the news. Scroll endlessly on social media. Distract myself until my stress and anxiety pass. Several years ago, before I learned what I’m about to share, I would get lost in my phone for days…
From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter Newsletter Hello my friend, For all the people who inquired about my new book in audio form, it’s now available for listening on Amazon and Audible. Enjoy.

What kind of world would we live in if simple mindfulness were taught in every school? If it were practiced in every company? If people learned mindfulness at home, on their own computers? The world would be a very different place. Our minds project our reality. When we are mindless, we act without considering consequences. When we are unaware of the interconnected nature of all life on this planet, greed…
Very often in life, we say something we don't mean. We react in anger. We make an impulsive decision, an unconscious choice, and later regret it. With a bigger, broader perspective, we see the error in our ways and feel a sense of regret or shame about it.And we want to understand why we did this. We want to prevent it from happening again. So we have to understand the…
Hello my friend,I was flipping back through an old journal and I saw an entry that made me laugh today.

When a very negative, complaining, screeching neighbor decided to start banging on my walls and scream that I was chopping vegetables too loudly. It…

From Path to Peace With Todd Perelmuter NewsletterHello my friend,The other day, I was goofing around with my friend and I started laughing so hard my sides hurt, water shot out my nose, and I was crying two waterfalls down my face. And it was awesome. Every single muscle fiber in my body relaxed, there was no thought — it was just pure joy.That’s when it occurred to me: dying from…
In meditation, we can become aware of awareness itself. The first step is simple. Close your eyes and begin by noticing your thoughts. Don’t try to change them. Just observe what the thoughts are, the nature of the thoughts, how one thought jumps to another, how they arise and how they fade away. Really look at what a thought is. As you observe your thoughts, notice something deeper: you are…
1. Stop Thinking Your Way Out of Overthinking We cannot think our way out of overthinking. We cannot force our mind to stop thinking negative thoughts. And we can't undo anxiety if we are anxiously trying to get rid of it. But we can cultivate a more positive mindset. When we feel low, combining wisdom with calm brings about heightened state of presence. We all have a higher intelligence within…
