Fall 2026

A white hardcover book with a black decorative logo on the front cover, placed against a plain white background, with dried leaves on the left side.

People do not suffer who they truly are; they suffer who they think themselves to be.

Dr. Sanaz Adibian

The foundational text on Cognitive Transcendence® (CT) explores this premise and introduces a four-phase model—coping, understanding, healing, and transcendence—that readers can use to learn about the underlying structures that make suffering possible and mental freedom attainable.

Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, biology, and quantum theory, CT examines:

  • How experience becomes organized into identity

  • How identity stabilizes perception across time

  • How shifts in self-definition alter the structure of psychological experience

  • The role time plays in consciousness

  • The role language plays in shaping perception, identity, and understanding

Within this framework, mental freedom is presented as a definable, observable, and teachable psychological condition and traditional views of justice and human rights are examined with a fresh perspective.

This book is designed for advanced students, scholars, educators, counsellors, psychologists, and interdisciplinary researchers.
