The Three Illusions

by Cameron Reilly

Do you suffer from stress, anxiety, guilt, anger or fear? Would you love to discover a simple, effective program for living without these negative, debilitating emotions? This book was written for those people who aren't satisfied with the answers offered by religion or self-help gurus. It introduces a philosophy for life that is based on hard scientific facts about chemistry and physics (but doesn't require the reader to have a knowledge of either). The "three illusions" mentioned in the title are the illusions of Free Will, the illusion of Time and the illusion of Identity. Using simple scientific explanations, this book will help you to gain a deeper understanding of your true identity and explain why, though it might sometimes seem as if life isn't going according to plan, everything is happening exactly as it must.

This book sums up everything that we are and everything that we think is happening and everything that we think we are capable of doing in just few pages.

Worth reading.

This book changed my life

I first read this book back in 2016, at the time I had lost my job and was in a depressive spiral of guilt and anxiety over my failure of losing my job.
This book showed me, I had no control over the events that took place because that happened had to happen exactly that way.
Four years on since then I have a new much better job that allows me to spend much more time with my family and enjoy the now.
If I hadn't read this when I had, I probably would still be experiencing the continuous cycle of guilt and anxiety that happens when we believe in the three illusions.

Thanks so much Cam if it weren't for you writing this I don't know where I'd be. ( At least now I don't need to worry about that sort of thing)

I loved it! Very straightforward presentation of non-duality (Advaita) using examples from science.

This book is great. It's obviously not a one read fix all book but for those who read with an open mind the information is well written. The author explains freewill on a whole new level I've never heard before. If you're looking for a "feel good read" then I advice you skip this one, but if you like facts and opinions even ones you probably won't agree with, this is the guy for you.

3.5 stars really, good intro to the nature of self and free will.
