Thanks! I will give it a read.
I got a lot out of "In the World but Not of It" by Gina Lake.
The chapters on how the ego works and what you can do to not listen to it was very practical and worked a lot better than I would have thought.
The basics is you have a lot of thoughts passing through your head all the time. The moment you stop and give a particular thought some weight it can then branch out into a full on story. Something simple can quickly become something complicated.
I don't even know how many times I was angry and then afterwards wondered why I got angry to begin with. That was a brief thought given focus and I allowed it to become something else. Understanding that this happens, we can work on avoiding the thought becoming a "thing" by focusing on something else until it disappears.
