“Peter Ralston has created a mighty tome that clearly lays out why we suffer, the mechanics behind our suffering, and solutions that we can actually use to end our personal suffering. The practices offered bring us to awareness, and that is a beautiful doorway to freedom from pain and freedom from suffering. In a day and age when we can experience many difficulties just by living life, Ending Unnecessary Suffering is a gift to us all.” - Selina Maitreya, spiritual teacher and author of Raise Your Frequency, Transform Your Life

“Ralston has clearly outlined the cause of unnecessary suffering, which is the distinction between concept and experience. Concept separates us from experience, and this separation, he explains, is a major cause of suffering that is internally created. Experience is in the here and now and is closer to a state of being that doesn’t add to the limitations of concept that leads to suffering. He offers practices to move from understanding to a functional state of experience. There is much in this book to help you become a person who lives from experience if you follow the process he presents.” - Robert Nadeau, Aikido 8th Dan Shihan

“In this book, Ralston helps guide you through this journey of understanding concepts and emotions. He references his other work throughout; plus here and there, he throws in quotes from some exceptional individuals, from Albert Einstein to Nelson Mandela. What you’ll get out of this book is learning about the root of unnecessary suffering and how you can overcome the suffering in your daily life. I highly recommend giving Ending Unnecessary Suffering a read, even if you’re not even remotely interested in these types of books. I firmly believe that any reader can finish this book and walk away with something new, whether this be in terms of knowledge or
