CHASING PEACE A Story of Breakdowns, Breakthroughs, and the Spiritual Power of Neuroscience

Tom Rosshirt, a former White House speechwriter, discusses his experience with pursuing a dream with passion, failing, breaking down, and building himself back up. His narration is conversational and informal--he sounds like an everyday person. With an Eastern accent, he describes his early ideas about spirituality, his search for an idealized self-image in the eyes of others, and how he came to find that peace would come only from dissolving his self-image. As Rosshirt describes his spiritual journey, he chronicles the roles of Christianity, deaths in his family, and training to lessen his body's sensitivity. The audiobook includes an introduction, delivered by Maria Shriver. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2025]
