Principles of Natto
Have you had a nagging suspicion that the multitude of mental health disorders we hear of are all linked together? Have you noticed that the more we do to achieve inner balance, the wobblier things get? Have you intuited that the answer to all our inner struggle may be one and the same?
You were right all along.
Principles of Natto presents a framework where all the clues you've collected fit in.
You will learn that the two principles of effortlessness and survival explain all aspects of the human experience. You will learn that one universal code reveals what we have thought of as disease to be nothing but misunderstanding. And you will learn that tokenization, the mislabeling of something harmless as a threat, is the substrate of the one inner struggle.
It's a deep trip, definitely not for everyone. But if just might one you're ready to take.

This book is not written for a general audience, more for people who are interested in guiding others out of internal struggles. It lays out a framework for understanding and freeing people from the primal fear that is at the root of a wide variety of chronic ailments including insomnia, anxiety, depression, pain, fatigue, and more. Erichsen argues persuasively that all inner struggles come from the same source and can be solved using the same methods, which are hard to sum up but basically amount to teaching your brain that it's safe to experience difficult emotions and sensations.
This book is too rich to be easily summarized, but I can say that Daniel Erichsen is a deep and wise thinker whose ideas are both old and new at the same time and have the power to transform human experience. I used his program for recovery from insomnia, and I am now well on the way to completely freeing myself from the fears around sleep that haunted me for two decades. The fact that he has taken the time to create and share his framework for human liberation in this obscure little volume is an act of generosity and a gift to the world. I hope the audience for his teachings will continue to grow.
