Book Description
What would change if peace were something you could recognize now, rather than a reward waiting at the end of a better, busier life?
In Enjoy Your Self Now!, Pat Croce explores that question through sixty-six sacred shifts: approachable practices for seeing everyday experience with greater clarity and returning to peaceful Presence.
Croce brings an unusual background to this spiritual companion. A New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, adventurer, and former president of the Philadelphia 76ers, he also founded Meditation Hill Sangha. Here, he draws on his own awakening journey to share the changes in perspective that have shaped his relationship with the mind, the ego, and the Self.
The book combines personal stories, reflection, and practical exercises with wisdom from traditions across East and West. Its influences include Buddha, Jesus, Rumi, Lao Tzu, and Ramana Maharshi. Readers encounter practices such as “Insert the 6-Second Sacred Pause,” “Exercise the Let Me Go Muscle,” and “Smile at Serendipity”—invitations to pause, loosen habitual reactions, and notice what is already present.
This is a book for spiritually curious readers, established meditators, and skeptics willing to consider a different way of relating to daily life. Croce’s grounded humor and personal approach make room for exploration without requiring readers to begin as experts in contemplative practice. The emphasis is on experiencing the ideas, with each sacred shift offering a point of reflection to carry beyond the page.
Read the sixty-six shifts in sequence or choose one as a daily companion. Enjoy Your Self Now! invites you to move from restless striving toward stillness, and to rediscover the joy and peace within your own experience. The US Kindle edition is available at its regular price of $12.99; no discount is planned.
More About This Book
When and Why Should Someone Read It?
For readers who feel caught in constant striving or a restless stream of thought and want a practical way to pause. Pat Croce offers sixty-six sacred shifts that can be read in sequence or explored one at a time as a daily reflection. The invitation is to recognize peace, joy, and clarity in present experience, rather than treating them as another achievement to pursue.
Themes, Ideas & Atmosphere
Four recurring ideas are peaceful Presence, loosening identification with the restless mind and ego, recognizing the Self, and finding opportunities for awareness in ordinary life. The sixty-six sacred shifts combine personal stories, reflection, and practices such as the 6-Second Sacred Pause. Croce draws on spiritual wisdom across East and West, using a grounded, humorous voice rather than an academic presentation.
If You Loved These, You'll Love This
The book explicitly draws on Buddha, Rumi, and Ramana Maharshi among its spiritual influences. These are useful points of comparison for its attention to the restless mind, inner joy, and the Self. Croce brings those contemplative concerns into a practical format of sixty-six sacred shifts, personal stories, and reflection for contemporary readers; the book is not presented as a scholarly commentary on any one thinker.
The Story Behind the Book
Pat Croce draws on his own spiritual awakening journey. His background includes entrepreneurship, leadership as former president of the Philadelphia 76ers, and founding Meditation Hill Sangha. Enjoy Your Self Now! brings his personal experience and contemplative practice together in sixty-six accessible shifts. This description is supplied by Brian Berni of BookAds on Pat’s behalf, rather than as a new first-person statement from Pat.
The Central Question
The central question is how to move from restless striving into peaceful Presence when peace is understood as already within us. The book invites readers to notice habitual reactions, pause, and explore changes in perception through sixty-six sacred shifts. Readers are encouraged to carry these practices into daily life and recognize joy and stillness as something to rediscover, rather than another distant goal.
