‘Directly Home—
simple, experiential spirituality.’
Tired of the spiritual gymnastics?
Exhausted from running after inner peace?
Hi, I’m Barrett Self. I’ve lived in the spiritual and self-help spaces for years—and for most of it, was flat frustrated.
Frustrated with the endless dazzingly promises of the world’s spiritual leaders and self-help gurus. Frustrated by my short-lived inspiration and my inability to make lasting change. And mostly frustrated by the sickness of having a mind that was always trying to ‘fix’ itself.
Two decades worth of meditating, reading and searching later, and I can promise there is a way out (one that requires no fixing to find).

About the Author
Hello again, I’m Barrett. I’m a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practitioner based in the Carolinas.
I’ve been sharing a message of peace and empowerment for over a decade. And for most of it, people have asked one question; ‘What book do you recommend?’ But no matter what I suggested, it always fell flat. So four years ago, I set out to write it.
That’s what Directly Home is to me—the simplest, most direct guide to empowered inner peace out there. It’s meant to give the highest leverage insights, practices and perspectives I wish were in books I’d found elsewhere (one’s that would have saved me decades of frustration).
If it sounds like it might be for you, join me below. I hope it lightens your life in some small way.
P.S. I’m here to serve you. Want more info? Got a question? Need help? Shoot me an email or send me a direct message.
