You've built a successful life. You've achieved the goals, earned the respect, and climbed the ladder. So why are you so exhausted?

If you feel like you're running on empty, trapped in a gilded cage of your own making, you are not alone. This is the quiet suffering of the high-achiever, the professional, and the leader who lives with the constant, low-grade hum of anxiety and the secret fear of being exposed as an imposter.

The Egolytic Arc is a lifeline for the successful but suffering soul. Dr. Sterling Cannon diagnoses the core problem not as a lack of effort, but as the exhausting, unsustainable work of serving a false, performance-based identity; the ego.

This book offers a radical and grace-filled path to freedom. It's a journey from the relentless pressure of self-maintenance to the profound rest of being known, held, and loved by God. Drawing on a powerful synthesis of timeless Christian contemplative wisdom and startling insights from modern neuroscience, this is not another self-improvement program to add to your to-do list. It is a guide to a whole new way of being.

This book is for:

• The exhausted professional battling burnout and anxiety.
• The high-performer wrestling with imposter syndrome.
• The pastor, therapist, or leader who feels spiritually dry.
• Anyone who has achieved success, only to find it hollow.

If you're ready to trade the exhaustion of performance for the deep peace of presence, this book is your first step on a journey back to your true self. Discover the relief of an identity that is given, not earned.
