While Nathan Vrite’s life is ordinary in many ways, it is miraculous in one—he has somehow found that little bit of willingness needed to show him another way; another way of being in the world.  It is also a story of discovering resistance, and the suffering that comes with our unconscious need to know and understand as a way to feel safe in the world.  The willingness Nathan finds, leads him to become a student of his own experience as he begins to uncover the peace and joy that lie inside, waiting to shine forth.

We go with Nathan as he begins to look at these factors and the influence they have on his life, and his very being.  We join in Nathan’s journey of discovery as he embarks on a life-altering process of looking at himself as he has never done before.  Along the way we realize that Nathan’s story is our own, and that if we too are wondering how to find the peace and joy we sense is there, Nathan just may show us how a little willingness is all we need.

Who Would I Be Without - TESTIMONIALS
"This book is so well written and flows so genuinely as the main character, Nathan, takes a journey into his darkest moments and his search for peace. The story stirred up alot of emotions for me as I reflected back to some of my own times of self doubt and fear. The story unfolds so beautifully that I didn't want to put it down but had to so that I could process his emotions and his pain. On the other hand, I couldn't wait to pick it up again."
"There is something about this book that won't let go of me. I read it in three sittings, as I became enthralled with the main character Nathan, from the get-go. His honest, bare-naked, and non-stop internal dialogue, was frightfully similar to my own. I imagine it would resonate in a similar manner with anyone who seeks spiritual growth - yet is saddled with a lifetime of learned habits, judgements (self and others), and unmet expectations..."
