About The Book
It’s no secret that life can be hard. The emotional pain that comes with being human is often met with sadness, depression, loneliness, anger, or even rage. These reactions lead to more pain, and so a cycle of negativity is created. These days there is no shortage of pharmaceuticals being recommended to alleviate this type of suffering, but most of these drugs have potential side effects that could be worse than the problems themselves. And what's more, they address only the symptoms of emotional pain, not the pain itself. Untwisted offers a different perspective on the subject and presents a unique step-by-step approach to breaking this cycle for good.
Most of us go about our days under the delusion that happiness and fulfillment are feelings we need to search for in the outside world. This is twisted thinking. This bookreveals that these concepts are not found beyond ourselves but rather lie within, and that we may achieve them by remembering a truth that has been with each and every one of us all along. Untwistedwill guide you back to this truth and, in doing so, heal your emotional pain and bring you back to joy, your natural state.
Untwisted proposes a proven drug-free technique you can use to eliminate the root cause of your emotional wounds and transform your life for the better. By following the simple but powerful practices described in this book, you may begin to untangle yourself from the sadness, loneliness, depression, and anger that have had you feeling tied up for so long.

Excerpt
Acknowledgments
I would like to thank my sponsor, William Elmhirst, who saw the value of my work and provided sabbatical support with legacy funds from his mother, Dorothy Whitney (Elmhirst), who helped found The New Republic and the Dartington Community. With deep gratitude, I would also like to thank my parents, Rev. Charles Dean Anders and Dr. Mary Rohn Anders; my daughter and her partner, Hannah Anders and Daniel Ford; my daughter, Natalie Anders; Dr. Jose Delgado-Elvir and his family members in Honduras, Spain, France, and Germany; my mentors, Virginia Wadsworth and Denise Stone at Watersong Sanctuary in Boulder, Colorado; Michael Lightweaver at Mountain Light Sanctuary in Asheville, North Carolina; Dr. Carl Buchheit at NLP Marin; and my sisters, Rebecca Anders and Lori Anders.
I would also like to express my deep respect for the editing talents of Lisa McCourt and Michael Weatherhead. Lisa took the rough draft of this book and used her skills as an author and editor to make the material easy to read and absorb. Michael then patiently and thoughtfully edited the book line by line, clarifying its messages for today’s busy readers. After years of reading other authors’ acknowledgments of their editors, I have now developed my own heartfelt admiration of the craft thanks to Lisa and Michael.
Finally, I would like to thank Frank Gromling of Ocean Publishing. He published a previous book of mine, taking rather challenging material pertaining to tropical botanicals and turning it into a provocative adventure story. He also introduced me to Rudy Shur of Square One Publishers, my current publisher, to whom I am very grateful. Rudy patiently took the time to coach me on how I could write a book for a wider audience than I was used to addressing. His guidance and encouragement sparked a flame in me.

Raves and Reviews
"Combining elements of A Course in Miracles, developmental/transpersonal/cognitive psychology, Buddhist mindfulness, and just a touch of physics, Untwisted seeks to take us through the mire of misbelief most humans accumulate in childhood so that we can reconnect with the spiritual/light/love core of our beings . . . [Anders' book] stands out for its directness, brevity, and loving direction toward a less stressful life that also contributes to a world which empowers, rather than enslaves."
– Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight Magazine (May/June 2018)
“A book that can change your life ... Any book that speaks about love as a pathway to personal freedom is definitely a book that can change your life, and that I want to suggest we all read. I hope you’ll take the opportunity to do so.”
– Neale Donald Walsch
"Untwisted proposes a proven drug-free technique you can use to eliminate the root cause of your emotional wounds and transform your life for the better. Thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, following the simple but powerful practices described in Untwisted is an ideal start to untangling from persistent sadness, loneliness, depression, and anger."
– Midwest Book Review
