Full Book Description
E. Jack Lemon has been a licensed Master Social Worker in private practice for over 25 years. He
has utilized in his practice concepts that range from cognitive therapies to energy and bodywork.
He is a certified hypnotherapist and is an ordained Presbyterian minister. He has explored extensively the
many aspects of body, mind, and spirit. Like most therapists, he was searching for a healing process that
worked for his clients. His frustration mounted over the years, because no matter what techniques he
used, his clients, overtime, returned to many of their core beliefs.
A breakthrough, as he states in the book, occurred when he discovered one must learn to ask different
questions. Specifically these questions had to do with what and how rather than why the therapeutic
results did not last long term.
As a recovering alcoholic for 22 years, he was familiar with the concept of addiction. When he began to
ask questions about what was necessary for people to maintain self-defeating patterns, he realized that
the underlying principle for these patterns was that people were certain that the message of the pattern
was true and real. They maintained this level of certainty even though their inner-self and friends told
them that the message was untrue.
The book Addicted To Certainty not only explores the developmental aspects of self-defeating behaviors
and limits, but identifies the nature, structure, and process for their removal. Jack provides
an effective structural map by which individuals can view their lives and make sense out of them.
The book, Addicted To Certainty, lays out a five-step course of action utilizing René Descartes' principal,
"I am thinking; therefore, I exist" or as it is commonly stated, "I think; therefore, I am." This enables an
individual to experientially discover that his core issue is not only incorrect, but in fact impossible.
The reality is that the only thing anyone can know for certain, is that he exists because he is aware that he
exists. This self-evident truth enables the mind to have what it always has craved - a solid, immovable
place on which to organize itself. Once the mind has experienced absolute certainty, it begins to
reconfigure how it sees itself in the world.
The process that Jack teaches is not a form of meditation or spiritual discipline. The end product,
however, leads inevitably to a spiritual cosmology. This cosmology begins with, I know I am real and
I know the universe is real.
The development of the spiritual cosmology is the exploration and discovery of the relationship between
the real self and the real universe.
