Book Description
Many people live lives riddled with outright anxiety and fear. Instead of happiness and ease being the normal state of existence, most experience happiness as only brief moments of joy, when some desire has been temporarily fulfilled. But it does not have to be this way; happiness can be recognized as our natural state of being.
According to author Kevin Krenitsky, a medical doctor and modern-day philosopher, we are in the midst of the biggest wave of awakening or self-realization this planet has ever seen. Our unconscious living has not only created stress, anxiety, wars, and famine; our choices have brought us to the edge of mass destruction. The earth has suffered greatly from our collective human unconsciousness.
In The Still Point, Krenitsky shows us a better way. He shows us how to discover and live our lives in alignment with our true self. More than just a mental concept, the Still Point is a felt experience of recognizing our own self-aware being. When the Still Point becomes obscured by giving exclusive focus to the noise of the outside world, we lose our feelings of peace and happiness.
Engaging and thought-provoking, The Still Point takes readers on a journey of self-discovery, ultimately leading to the recognition that our self-aware nature is happiness and peace itself.
Review: The Still Point: The Simplicity of Spiritual Enlightenment by Kevin Krenitsky, MD
Often times it seems we find it easy to focus on that which stresses us.
Do you live in a state of fear?
Are you preoccupied with the thought of what already occurred or what is still to come?
Many of us have faced a multitude of stressors.
We've had a pandemic looming over us for a while now and during this time some of us have been through moving, illness, loss of a job, getting married or divorced, or being faced with death or the possibility of losing someone who means a lot to us.
It is quite easy to focus on the past or on what may lay ahead. But when the past or future becomes our focus we are not living in the moment.
I really appreciate the way this book is set up and particularly like the Chapter titles.
The book points out the importance of meditation. It suggests we treat everyone non-judgementally to assure the best relationship possible. This book guides us on a path to self-recognition/ self-awareness of a single shared being and reminds us that when the mind is kept away from its preoccupations we have awareness of our experience.

About the Author
Kevin Krenitsky has been, at times, a professional rock musician, a medical doctor, and a business executive. Despite leading a life deemed outwardly “successful,” he lived with a deep background of anxiety, fear, and stress that waxed and waned since early childhood. At the age of forty, in the midst of decades of suppressing tremendous inner and outer conflict, he reasoned there must be another way. This "willingness" led to a decade of studying non-duality by way of A Course in Miracles. Later, at the height of a successful business career, he turned away into relative isolation and soon found the direct path to the recognition of our true nature. One day in meditation, a thought came that a book called The Still Point would be written. Five years later, the first words arrived.
