What Are You?: Not This Person You Think You Are
What if the one thing keeping you from freedom... is the belief that you are your thoughts?
What Are You? is a radical yet accessible invitation to awaken - not through blind belief, spiritual dogma, or mystical jargon, but through pure logic, presence, and direct experience.
In this modern exploration of non-duality, author Sebastian Lyall strips away illusions of identity, fear, and separation using a clear, grounded approach rooted in self-inquiry, reason, and the art of awareness. Drawing from timeless traditions and cutting-edge thought, this book guides you toward one essential realisation:
You are not your mind. You are what remains when thought falls silent.
Inside this book, you'll discover:
A logical and modern approach to the ancient truth of non-duality
Why your mind is not the source of truth - and how to observe it clearly
How to question your sense of self and dissolve limiting beliefs
The difference between thought and consciousness - and why it matters
Practical tools to end suffering and discover inner freedom
How to live from presence, peace, and clarity - now, not later
Whether you're new to spirituality or a lifelong seeker, What Are You? offers a direct path to awakening that doesn't rely on rituals, gurus, or philosophies. It speaks to the thinking mind and invites it to meet its own limit - so that what is beyond thought can finally be seen.
If you've ever asked:
Who am I, really?
Why do I keep suffering?
How can I awaken in a way that's real and lasting?
Then this book is your companion.
Author SummarySebastian Lyall is a modern spiritual teacher, multidisciplinary thinker, and former award-winning entrepreneur best known for guiding people toward a direct understanding of non-duality, self-realisation, and awakening beyond the mind.
After early success as a Forbes-featured business innovator and founder of disruptive hospitality brands in London, Sebastian stepped away from external achievement to pursue a deeper question - not "What should I do with my life?" but "What am I, truly?"
His journey led him beyond traditional religion and new age spirituality into a radical, clear, and logical path of awakening that questions the very foundation of identity, thought, time, and experience. Drawing from Vedantic inquiry, modern psychology, neuroscience, and personal insight, Sebastian presents a grounded, philosophy-free approach to truth - one that is accessible to seekers, skeptics, and scientists alike.
He is the author of multiple books including What Are You? - A Logical Path to Awakening, Beyond the Mind and Into Non-Duality, a book that explores the illusion of the personal self, the role of language in shaping reality, and the stillness that remains when thought dissolves. His work emphasises clarity over complexity, experience over belief, and freedom not as a future goal, but as the nature of what you already are.
Sebastian also teaches through intimate retreats, online dialogues, and poetic translations of Sufi and Eastern texts, always aiming to bridge ancient insight with modern minds. His voice resonates with those who feel disillusioned by dogma, yet are drawn to deeper truth - seekers of silence, sanity, and something real.
