See it clearly, and it starts to lose power.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou see it everywhere: smart people making destructive choices. Companies poisoning their own customers. Nations pouring trillions into war while their people suffer. Social media built to connect us driving us apart. We're the one species that knowingly degrades its own habitat at scale. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy do we keep acting against our own survival? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom Indigenous North American traditions comes the term \u003ci\u003ewetiko\u003c\/i\u003e--a life-eating compulsion that turns us against one another and the living world. Whether you approach it as metaphor, psychology, or spirituality, the effects are real--and they propagate through what we don't see. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDispelling Wetiko\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Levy brings this insight into dialogue with Jungian psychology, framing wetiko as a mind-parasite that exploits our blind spots. Drawing on teachings shared in public sources, depth psychology, and his own harrowing encounters, Levy describes wetiko as \"ME disease\"--Malignant Egophrenia--a pathological self-centering that mistakes the ego for the whole. Like a vampire that can't see its reflection, it hides in the very way we perceive reality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe crucial insight: the moment we recognize wetiko, it begins to lose power. The cure isn't waging war on evil or waiting for others to wake up; it starts by noticing how our attention and reactions feed the very patterns we oppose--and then withdrawing that food. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDispelling Wetiko\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e offers a clear diagnosis and a practical path back to sanity--personally and collectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Levy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e North Atlantic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583945483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1981, Paul Levy experienced what his doctors considered to be a nervous breakdown.
