About this listen

Steven Harrison's fresh take on spirituality offers an approach to consciousness and spiritual growth that starts right where you are—no cushions, techniques, gurus, or decades of practice required.

In Getting to Where You Are, Steven Harrison offers a radical perspective on meditation, proposing that techniques meant for enlightenment may actually trap us in illusion. He argues that we're already in touch with our true nature and that pursuing a "better self" through meditation could be as misguided as seeking happiness through materialism.

With a sharp wit and a healthy dose of humor, Harrison questions fundamental assumptions about self-improvement and meditation, deconstructs the meditation and self-help industry, and exposes parallels between spiritual narcissism and consumer culture.

Harrison invites listeners to explore the essence of self and consciousness, free from traditional spiritual practices or the guidance of gurus. He encourages individuals to step off the spiritual treadmill and instead engage directly with their actual, present-moment experience of life. By advocating for this raw, present-moment inquiry, Harrison offers a fresh approach to self-discovery that bypasses conventional wisdom and encourages authentic personal insight.

This thought-provoking audiobook, written with a generous dose of humor, is ideal for those disillusioned with traditional spiritual paths, long-time meditators questioning their practice, or anyone curious about the intersection of mindfulness, self-improvement, and modern culture.

As an exclusive bonus, the audiobook includes a recent interview with Steven Harrison, in which he discusses the ongoing relevance of his ideas and their evolution in the current spiritual landscape.
