Review of The Path of Least Resistance by Robert Fritz
This is a book review of Robert Fritz’s The Path of Least Resistance: Learning to Become the Creative Force in Your Own Life.
Few of us realize our habitual behavior. We remain blind to the patterns that take us to our desired destination or the future we want to avoid. Author Robert Fritz, developer of the Technologies for Creating, has developed a field of study called “Macrostructural Patterns” explained in his book that demystifies habitual behavior to help you create what you want in life.
The core behind what Fritz teaches is that human behavior, like physics, flows along the path of least resistance. Just as water flows through a river along its path of least resistance, so does human energy. Though the path of least resistance can carry you in unruly directions – as it so often does – it can empower you to effortlessly flow towards your goals.
Fritz says we fail to change because we fight our habits with willpower, positive-thinking, affirmations, and other similar self-help techniques. We also try to remove what we do not want instead of creating what we do want. We get stuck in problem solving instead of creation.
Many golden gems in the book will change how you approach problem solving for life in general to a new empowering direction. When you change the structure of your behavior by making primary and fundamental choices to behave in a way that is consistent with your vision – while acknowledging your present reality – you create lasting change.
The book is not about creativity, painting, and similar artistic works; it is about harnessing your innate human potential to create the life you want. Being human means you were born to create. From better managing emotions to eliminating destructive health patterns, The Path of Least Resistance provides you with simple methods to create your desired life.
Though Fritz’s book is simple and the concepts are few, when you read the book I advise you to let the italicized sentences sink into your mind as you pause to think deeply about what is written. There are a lot of “higher level concepts” shared that leave you to ponder their application in your life. These concepts are by no means New Age or based on pop psychology, as Fritz emphasizes in the book, but based on the “tradition of the arts and sciences”.
Once you make a fundamental choice aligned with your vision, while knowing your present reality, you will create what you want with less effort. Your new path of least resistance will lead you to your desired destination so you cannot but get the future you envision. People, processes, and circumstances align themselves once you decide to become the creative force in your life.
If you feel circumstances mold your life; if you have tried to change yourself, but reverted to your old way of behaving; if you have ever wanted to create a life you want The Path of Least Resistance is for you. You can grab your copy of the book now from Amazon by clicking here.
