Illusory: Six Things Mentally-Free People Don't Believe, Which Stressed and Anxious People Do
this is a short read, at ~14,000 words.
Many of us are suffering right now, whether it be through stress, anxiety, money worries, burnout, and self-doubt.
I've personally struggled for years with all of the above.
Many well-meaning people make all kinds of suggestions to alleviate these problems, but most, if not all of them address them at the surface-level, not the root.
We hear about behavioural techniques like affirmations, cognitive behavioural therapy, neuro-linguistic programming, emotional freedom technique, positive-thinking and more.
These can help, of course. But nothing has made more of a change in my own life, handling anxiety and feeling more alive than understanding the core ideas I'll share with you in this book.
They go straight to the root of the issue, and I'm excited to share them with you in this book.
I do this by looking more closely at how we think, and how thinking relates to our behaviour and our perception of the world around us.
"A lot of books in the self-help space make you feel like there is something wrong with you and advise changing in some way to “fix” yourself.
This book doesn’t do that at all. Rather than change our behaviour, Alex explains the principles that look at what makes us human and shows us how our personal thinking can be innocently misused.
It changed my way of thinking for the better."
-- Bradley George, early reader.
I am a British writer, coach and illustrator who has struggled with overthinking and anxiety for much of my life.
I was fortunate to have come across a set of principles that changed everything for me.
Living by these principles means I am happier than I have ever been, and more often in a state of ease, creativity, and joy. I have a significantly more harmonious relationship with life and the way it unfolds.
These concepts can equally benefit the artist, the CEO, the stay-at-home mother of four, and the farmer tending to his crop.
I will discuss very real natural laws that, when understood, will help you reach deeper mental wellness. This is a book about how we think; how our thinking directly shapes our experience of reality, and how this understanding impacts our mental health.
I guarantee that if you are willing to absorb what I’m about to show you, let go of unhelpful assumptions, and allow your perspective to re-align with something new, you can live a peaceful and energised life, regardless of your circumstances.

"Honestly, I wish I had access to these sorts of materials at school. I would have done much better. I shall be teaching my children these sorts of principles along with my faith.
The key take away is that we can learn to watch ourselves without believing that what we think is ‘real’. This is a trip well-worth taking (and I took it myself) and my life is much more content as a result."

Alex wrote in the book that some of the insights in this book might come as helpful reminders, or could change everything -- I have a feeling that for me it will be both.
I find many religious and philosophical practices - from Christianity to Sufism to Buddhism to Stoicism - to be useful, but this little book surprisingly distills many of the common principles down to their core essence -- and somehow helps make all the pieces fall into place.
I won't spoil the revelatory excitement of reading the book for potential readers -- but let it be said that as someone who tries too hard in the past to overcome negative thoughts and attachments, this book helps make me gently laugh (in a non-mocking way) at my past self and be kinder to myself and to others -- hopefully.

I have followed Alex for around 6 months on his youtube page and it has been an encouragement. His book has translated well and I am currently implementing many of the ideas into my life!! Definitely have a read!

This book is basically Stress-free in a nutshell, a powerful new light on overcoming anxiety.
I have read (sometimes just partially) a few books about "how to fix me" in an attempt to improve my life and my career. In some I found bits of wisdom or a new trick to "patch up" my personality, but never encountered one that explicitly tells me that there is nothing wrong in me in the first place, that my past doesn't define me.
This book from AJ Mathers is short, which is wonderful, because it goes to the point fast and gives you not only the tools, but the thinkering behind them, in a very simple and elegant way.
Af first, those concepts may look alien to you, but as soon as they click on, you start seeing them all around with your life and with others and then it all makes sense. Right now I know I have the choice to have happiness, no need for a patch or a fast hack, It just has been with me the whole time. Thank you Alex for helping me discover this.

Another great book by Alex Mathers, a reminder that we make our own future and that nothing is set in stone. How we deal with our reality is up to us and we get to make that choice every single day.

Illusory is easy to read and it fascinated me from beginning to end. Reading felt like important and the content was very valuable.
Not only in these times of pandemic.
It seems to skip the layer of consciousness and immediately hit the layer of our subconscious. I would definitely recommend reading this book as I found reading Illusory gave me energy and I am eager to read it again.
Thank you Alex for such a great addition to my visual book shelf!

This book has introduced me to intriguing ideas that challenge long-held ideas and beliefs that I picked up along the way, and accepted unquestioningly, as fact, or written in stone. I will give two examples.
First is the idea of 'mindset', that collection of thoughts and beliefs that shape our thought habits. For a long time I've believed that one needs the 'right' mindset in order to succeed in their endeavours or realise their potential. Here Mathers suggests a different approach. He posits that thoughts are transient, ever-changing, and beyond our control, as a result our emotional experience is also beyond our control. The key to experiencing more wellbeing more of the time, is to let go and allow our thinking to improve by itself. The less we interfere or try to figure out how best to think, the more spacious and benign our thoughts become, Mathers suggests.
Second is that state of mind we call 'stress'. I have believed for a long time too, that stress is caused by triggers that are outside of us (people, external circumstances, physical environments etc.), but here Mathers writes "We can't catch stress from our surroundings like the flu. We always create the stress in our minds via thought. It's all self-generated. When we understand how we create our own experience through the three principles [Thought, Mind, and Consciousness], we have the power to return to wellbeing, regardless of the circumstances." This had me thinking differently about stress.
I may not yet be in complete alignment or understanding, of the powerful ideas presented here, but this book has at least given me an alternative way of seeing, and tools, to tackle the problems associated with mental wellbeing. 'Illusory' is definitely worth exploring.

If you love to explore, discover, travel The Road Not Taken and have a companion that walks every step with you, then you’ll love the latest book by Alex Mathers—Illusory. It’s a lot like his website, which features video of Alex walking places new to you and he hands you the map to a world of new possibilities.
There are 10 reasons you’ll read this completely and then carry it with you, like the Book of Lift.
The first three reasons are the three principles, which “reduced what I had already vaguely known to be true to a purity that made complete sense to me.” The three principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought are the total of our experience. Everything you perceive, without exception, connects to the dynamic of these principles and what that has to do with mental wellness and unparalleled energy. The next six reasons are the way Alex walks out the principles on explorations and intensely practical examples of six beliefs specific to work, fear, money, people, performance, and personality. There’s no surprises; only the joy of discovering and hanging out with Alex, through his words. He tells you upfront a lot of these ideas cannot simple be “speed-read” once and understood. That’s why carrying this with you makes sense.
The 10th reason is lasting mental wellness. This comes from the release you feel when there’s no further need to “figure yourself out” or to dig into your past to learn more about trauma so you can “fix” yourself.

The secret lies in thought – Review on the book Illusory by Alex Mathers
The little greenisch/blueish book Illusory by author/graphic designer Alex Mathers appeared exactly on the right moment for me in this this pandemic time of stress and anxiety. Who has no need for stepping stones that lead to lasting spiritual well-being far beyond the next few ‘recovery’ months? Alex offers them from, it seems his own experience – he has been there.
In a smooth and lively style of writing he offers thoughts and insights, quoting great philosophical thinkers from collective world history.
Recognizable concepts that until recently flutter loose in my head like butterflies, he brings together in a new paradigm of enlightenment for a ‘feeling of peace, joy and optimism’. Systematically structured from the three principles of mind, consciousness and thoughts, the book leads the reader, by explaining six limiting beliefs raving around in many a head like busy bees, to a new attitude of ‘a creative life is just one thought away’. Add to this spiritual framework his practical advice of healthy eating, enough sleep and exercise and your perspective changes immediately: let go of all the negative thoughts, feelings and behaviour. What remains are gratitude, forgiveness and endless possibilities.
(Hinting to Churchills famous quote: this book of 66 pages is long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.)

I discovered Alex Mather’s blog and writing a few years ago while working as a content curator for a blog.
He stood out immediately among many other bloggers I read and followed.
Alex can really write well (he’s a great illustrator too) and has the precious ability to connect with the reader.
On top of that, he has an interesting and, sometimes, provocative point of you - which is what I personally looking for.
He writes from the heart, he’s honest and not afraid to be vulnerable.
This book (which isn’t his first one) is a short, yet great reminder for those who already live (or at least try to live) a life based on the principles described in it.
A life of happiness and peace, without the unnecessary and harmful stress and anxiety, which block us from being creative, productive, and original.
It is also a good start for those who are not yet familiar with what it takes to find happiness and peace inside them.
A great guide, packed with wisdom, but easy to read and understand that will help you get rid of all those stupid beliefs that block your creativity and happiness.

In ancient Hindu philosophy, there is a concept called “Maya”. The best translation of the word is “illusion”. The new book by Alex Mathers “Illusory” is a modern manifestation of the concept similar to the Hindu Maya.
A lot of troubles each of us have in this world is the creation of our own inner self.
Alex does a good job of separating wheat from chaff, i.e., helps a common person like me sort the valuable from the troublesome creation of our own mind. What is great is the book is compact - the reader will get wisdom in a concentrated form. Of course, the reader will have to “translate” the content into a language his/her soul best understands. Ultimately, the author is talking to the soul of the reader.
If we follow his recipe, we can live a very satisfying and happy life.

This book may be called ‘Illusory’ but the lightbulb moment of clarity that it brings is the real deal.
Like having a thick fog cleared from the mind, it explains in as simple terms as possible, the power that we have within ourselves to simply see things the way that they are. The issues that weigh us down are revealed to be nothing more than an illusion, broken down in this book like a magician revealing his old tricks.
I dared to dream that this book could provide the answers I’d been looking for, and it gifted me the tools I needed to find the answers within myself. If only I had known that I held the power all along.
During times of darkness this really has been a light at the end of the tunnel.

Timely release for this short read, as we're all dealing with some sort of anxiety or other. I'll be referring back to it frequently as it hells to put its principles into practice. Highly recommended.

I bet I'm not the only one who thinks books/situations/whatnot are 'presented' to someone for a reason. :)
Alex stated in clear words what I've been trying to implement in my life for quite some time now,
I think it's a good book to read over on more difficult days.

For many humans, our thoughts, both positive and negative are running the show. Loosening the tight grip of our thoughts, to create space in our lives is a must if we want to experience freedom. This book will help you to reconsider your beliefs (sometimes outrageous and unhelpful) and instead connect with a much deeper universal wisdom in the present moment.

I have to say that it was a pleasure to read this book. Many of the things that Alex said are the answers to my prayers, and I'm not exaggerating. These principles are definitely life-changing.
I wish they would have taught me them at school in the same way Alex did.
Besides, I appreciate that the author made it a short but substantial reading, because we all need to live with simple but essential things. When you read it you will realize why it doesn't needed to be longer. I enjoyed the sincere, not pretentious and straight-to-the-point author's way of writing.
These principles made sense to me and I feel they are very useful and easy to practice in daily life, although they might be hard to digest for some. As the author said, they require contemplation and not interfering nor forcing things to see them work. In order to see these principles at work and to prove them true, we definitely need to leave our thoughts alone, which is not easy to do because when we are in the middle of a whirlpool of anxiety we tend to try to swim instead of allowing the current to take us to calmer waters. But if we want to achieve what we have never achieved, we need to do what we have never done, so if we have been swimming against the current, we would do better if stop doing it and allow us to float.
This is a valuable book for those who can see how much power there is in thought, choice and taking responsibility. If you understand that you are the only responsible for your wellness, then this is a book for you. If you are still living in the victim mode but you would like to stop living that way, then this book can help you change. I'll definitely recommend this book.

To say that this book couldn't have shown up at a more relevant time would be an understatement. I'm a worrier; always have been, but I've been wanting to shed that burden for years. Combined with my professional illustration career and a chronic auto-immune illness, the added pressure of an over-anxious mind is something I could do well without. While I wouldn't say that this is a magic bullet for what ails me, "Illusory" has given me a place to start mentally where straightening my head-mess is concerned. Even though it's a short book, it took me over a week to read it. Why? I found myself rereading each Belief segment several times to better grasp the information within them; I didn't want to rush ahead and miss anything.
"Illusory" is a book that I'll be visiting frequently in the future in order to keep the principles firm in my mind. In my opinion, this is a good start to what I trust will be a fulfilling and healing journey for me.

llusory: Six Things Mentally-Free People Don't Believe, Which Stressed and Anxious People DO -
is a short, yet informative read. As the author reminds all who embark that you must remain open-minded and reflective. These insights are not new. He never says they are. But they are ancient; we forget them and must be reminded that we have control if we listen. The language and ease of reading this will allow for inclusion of many readers who may not want to wade through a much longer tome on the subject. It is well organized and gives you enough to begin your journey to more thoughtful solutions to help you accept and achieve calmness in your daily routine.

This is a fascinating little book about self-limiting beliefs. The first section lays out a conceptual framework for how the mind and beliefs work. It might strike some readers as a little abstract, unnecessarily spiritual, or vague. Perhaps if it grounded itself more in ancient traditions or recent research it would be more compelling. But, the meat of the book is six common self-limiting beliefs. You don't need to buy into every area of the conceptual framework to benefit from reading about these beliefs or using he author's insights to reframe your own thinking. It's a very straightforward and liberating set of answers to challenges we all face in life and work. A very helpful book.

This book is well written, thus pleasant to read. But, exactly as the subtitle promises, it contains concepts that mentally free people don’t think. So, if you’re trying to set yourself free, this is the book you wanna read. Don’t expect sudden epiphanies and “ah-ah!” moments. I think you’ll find more “my situation is different. But wait…” moments. This book will show you doors, but you have to decide to open them and go through.The last chapter (Belief 6) is what will help me the most.

In this book, Mathers shows how you can overcome anything including various degrees of depression, dissatisfaction, social anxiety, worry, and doubt. He explains how this is not an easy journey to go on, but how it is a path through which he has achieved significantly more harmonious relationship with life and the way it unfolds.
Mathers beautifully explains how we buy a particular story about who we are and how our past has defined us and starts to live in the experience of that reality, as conceived by the three principles of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought (quoted by Syd Banks).
He writes with intense hope and conviction and this is infectious for the reader.

I will have to read it a few more times
I appreciate how short and easy it was to read. Even so I will be reading it a few more times. I’m especially curious about how to get more control over the Personal brain more since living in personal brain has been my go to when I’m stressed and I’m glad I know now that it’s in over drive for far to long. Thanks for Sharing with me

for Sanity’s sake
Short but sweet, a refresher into the healthy state of mind. Would be you useful for those who don’t have a lot of time but need something to tie them down in this topsy-turvy world.
