Paul McDermott is a psychotherapist and writer living in London and Zurich. For nearly 20 years, he trained psychotherapists and counsellors in London, and his ongoing work of more than 35 years is focused on helping people free themselves from controlling systems so they can win back their original nature and go on to live fulfilling and meaningful lives. His first book, 'Pilgrims', explores what it means to live fully in the face of death — and began, fittingly, as a dream in which he was told to write. His writing blends memoir, reflection, psychological insight, and a provocative insistence on what really matters. In terms of this, he lives a simple reflective life based on the understanding that, as the Japanese say, “The Way is your everyday life.”
