Born and raised in middle America, Joey Lott left
university at the age of 19 to seek his fortune in California,
where he became a software development prodigy in the dot-com
world, overseeing the expansion into New England of the largest,
privately-held advertising agency in the world. Becoming
dissatisfied with the domineering and claustrophobic nature of
corporate culture, he went on to set up his own consultancy which
revolutionized the approach to the treatment of clients and
employees alike.
On a personal level, however, Joey had from an early age suffered
from intense forms of anxiety. For decades he had lived with
restrictive eating disorders, obsessions, compulsions and an
inescapable sense of fear. Despite his attempts to find solace
through psychedelic drugs, diet, philosophy, meditation and a
variety of extreme practices and beliefs, by the age of 30 he was
physically sick, emotionally volatile, and obsessed with keeping
any and all unwanted thoughts and experiences at bay.
By this point, he had given up his career and was living on a futon
mattress in a tiny cabin in the woods, so sick that he could barely
move. Too exhausted now to maintain his habitual forms of emotional
self-defence, an insight awakened in him: he discovered that many
hidden assumptions supported the sense of imprisonment that had so
restricted his life. By investigating these assumptions and
welcoming every experience that came his way, he began gradually to
discover that in reality nothing was as he had imagined it to be.
He discovered, in fact, that the true nature of life is unbounded
and utterly free. In his own words: "The secret to happiness is to
let go of everything - see through every assumption."
Joey now lives with his family in New Mexico, USA.
