Why people recommend it
I Am a Big Helper! by Don Hoffman is a children's book by author Don Hoffman. On the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast episode titled Deepak Chopra: THIS Formula Will Instantly Calm Your Mind & Stop Overthinking, released on April 21, 2025, guest Deepak Chopra discussed the author's work during the conversation. Deepak Chopra mentioned that Don Hoffman wrote a book arguing against the idea of objective reality, asserting instead that the physical universe perceived by human beings is not actually real, but rather a mental projection. Deepak Chopra brought up these philosophical and scientific concepts while speaking with the host, Jay Shetty, to explore how human perception shapes everyday reality, consciousness, and the ways people process thoughts and overcome overthinking. The discussion touched upon cognitive science and the nature of existence, referencing the author's broader intellectual framework regarding how the human mind constructs the world around it through sensory data and internal cognitive processes rather than directly accessing an objective external reality, thereby challenging conventional understandings of the universe, space, time, and human consciousness as perceived in daily life by individuals attempting to understand their surroundings.
