The Great Recalibration

Ever wonder what really happens when you die? What if heaven and hell aren’t what you were told? What if the answer to why you’re depressed has nothing to do with what your therapist says? Ever wonder why you exist at all? Something is wrong...and you know it. Things feel 'off.' You just don’t know exactly what it is - or how to fix it.This is your book.Twenty-seven years ago, after being diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart condition, Robert Hicks became terrified of death. So he went looking for answers, from the people best equipped to provide them.He started with every near-death experience (NDE) he could find - people who 'died,' and came back. The information was so consistent that Hicks knew he was onto something. So he kept digging. Past life hypnosis, astrology, channeled material, parallel realities, and alien abductions. The entire library of subjects most people were afraid to take seriously.He found patterns that traditional religious leaders, psychologists, and self-help gurus had missed, dismissed, or chose to ignore. After years of cross-verification, with an open mind and scientific scrutiny, he put the pieces of the puzzle together. That framework helped him overcome his fear of death and his battle with life-long depression.It’s time for this information to be known.The Great Recalibration is an evidence-based, data-driven guide to what’s actually going on, what’s destroying your happiness - and how to fix it. Not the latest pop-psychology fad, regurgitated psychobabble or religious dogma. Not opinion or conspiracy theories. Something refreshing and new.The truth. About this life...and what comes next.Hicks provides clear answers to common questions. Why you’re depressed. Why traditional religion stopped working for you. What actually happens when you die. Why regret is pointless. Why your 'stuff' is lying to you. How we might be in a simulation. How fear is simply a lack of information. And why help may be coming from a very unexpected source...and you’ll never believe it.But this isn’t just a diagnosis or some cute little woo-woo, foo-foo, click-bait 'toolkit' - it’s a laser-guided missile.Part One is called The 'Religious-mess' Dogma Disaster because near death experiencers paint a very different picture of God, Jesus, heaven, and hell than you’d expect. Part Two, The Recalibration, will redefine how you see life. The truth about purpose, destiny, free will, reincarnation, karma, prayer, manifesting, and more. Part Three are the happiness 'hacks' that Hicks used to take back control of his life. And they will do the same for you.It’s the information you need and tools you can use, built on evidence collected over twenty-seven years. But this isn’t a textbook. It’s an instruction manual, written by a regular person. Just a guy with a lot to tell you. The delivery is direct, conversational, and a hell of a lot funnier than you’d expect from a book about life - and death.Hicks holds a master’s and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and is currently putting them to great use...as a grill cook at Chipotle. He’s lived the dream and the nightmare and survived both. Wisdom is the glue that holds all this together. The framework works - and it’s about to be pushed to its absolute limit during his upcoming prison sentence.Yes, prison. Where he will be writing his next book.If you’ve tried everything: therapy, meditation, friends, religion, 'experts', and a shelf full of now dusty, self-help books and none of it made any real difference - this one will. Hicks lays out the evidence, but lets the reader decide for themselves. The truth was never the problem. It’s out there if you look long enough and hard enough. Hicks did. And now, like the peace that comes with understanding, it’s yours.
