With expert publishing to strategic marketing, they help authors reach their audience and maximize their books success. Today, amazing man on the show. He is the author of the book called Simply Put, by Andrew Ellitzer. And we're going to get into some of the details of why he wrote this book

and maybe how it can help improve your life as well. Andrew, who holds a degree in political science from Sienna College and is presenting working in the mental, presently, working in the mental health field, has completed his new book, simply put, a stirring collection of short reflections and thoughts of the author as he ponderes the many mysteries of life that have consumed human,

philosophy throughout the ages. Welcome to show, Andy. How are you? Very well, Chris. Thank you for having me. Thanks for coming. Give us any dot com's websites, Amazon, wherever you want people to find you on the interwebs, sir. Yes, thanks, Chris. I can be found on Amazon, Apple iTunes, Barnes & Noble, but I seem to get the most activity on Amazon, and that would be a great place for people to go. If they enjoy what I'm saying today, read or a few, let your friends know that kind of thing. So give us a 30,000 overview. What's inside your new book? Okay. I'm going to give you a little background as to how this all happened. It'd be very quick.

I've wanted to write for a long time, and I have written, but not at the level that I'm now writing. Four years ago, when I left the state, I started to have the stream of consciousness experiences. I would hear something, see something, something would come into my mind, and I would then text the idea to myself. they wrote themselves. So this is a stream of consciousness kind of thing. There is no formula. There's no pre-planning. There's none of it. Once in a while, I have to get involved consciously and clean it up, but it's been a blessing. It's something that I found later in life. And I really want people to know that anything can happen at any point in your life. I'm a young guy, but I'm getting older. And I found this blessing four years ago. And I struggled with anxiety and depression,

but I'm not a quitter. And I really, really am out to relate to you, the audience. This book was written as a relationship between Andy, that's myself, of course, the author, and you, the audience. We're in this together. And that's really what simply put us attempting to talk about. How do we relate to each other, to ourselves? Where do we get bogged down? And it's a direct, the book is really not, it's not an I-do. This is the way you do at ABC equals D. This is about looking at, looking at these vignettes that evoke a lot of emotion and then seeing where we stand in relation to those vignettes. So there's somebody that sits in my mind.

I think it was a guy that paraphrased Nietzsche, who was a philosopher, and said we hear only the questions to which we are capable of finding the answers. So I guess that's what I'm attempting to do with my work. Ah, so give us some samples, maybe some of your favorite samples or excerpts from the book and just tease us out a little bit on the story, if you would. I can give you the first section is starts with simply put that's the first piece and that is the name of the book and it is establishing relationship between I'm the painter I'm the painter of words and you're the canvas we're letting the paint drip on the canvas and we're seeing what happens and we create hopefully a masterpiece of understanding together so that's really sets up the whole work Chris and then you see in the first chapter it's you and I so it's It's what we, there are a lot of relational snags that we have to deal with in our own lives. Everyone does.

That's why you see a web on the cover of my book. So I talk a lot about that kind of thing. What are the, the knots that get us all upset and how do we uncoil those knots? And through all of this, we're looking at how we're experiencing ourselves. We're depressed. We're happy. We're uncertain. We're despairing.

We're learning to accept. We're trying to find inspiration and hope. So all of my work is set up that way in the first chapter. As you move on, you'll see more different kinds of things. Because even though we struggle or I struggle, and I think we all do, we still find the world that we live in to be quite beautiful and quite complex. So I talk about that in my work. I have pieces on nature that address the beauty that we can find in our lives,

even though we're living complex lives that sometimes rankle us. And at the end of the book, there are what are called, Chris, it's called nanofiction or microfiction. I didn't even know what that was until I started writing them. And then I looked them up and found out it was writing something called microfickering. So there's short pieces under a page and a number of them address moral ambivalence. So the book really is trying to look at who we are in relation to the time we live in, in relation to ourselves, the culture, the environment that we're asked to create in, and all the questions that we want to have answers to,

the love and the longing and having things go our way and having a sense of meaning and purpose in what we do, and the struggle that we have, or I have, and I think everyone does, in terms of feeling secure within ourselves, we can't feel secure all the time. So I guess what I'm saying is when I originally said, Chris, that we learn, we hear the questions to which we're capable of finding the answers. I'm learning how to ask better questions. And as I said, this is not like a Mel Robbins

the lesson theory. It's not. These are vignettes. You look at them, you experience them personally or indirectly, and they speak to you, and you try to figure out what it means in relation to your own life and where you sit with purpose and meaning and how you're trying to get on with your life. Can you give us a little sample of one of the vignettes? Just an overview of like what it addresses maybe, I don't know, the vignette itself. This is really great that you use this to, we all have this kind of stream of consciousness coming at us at all times from our back monkey brain or whatever.

So give us a sample. Yes, it's an aide. All right. So how the, this stream of consciousness started four years ago. And as I said, I texted to myself, this was the first piece that came out,

and it is the title of the book. It's called Simply Put. And it will establish what I'm talking about, how I'm in this with you guys. We're all part of this mess and how we find some relational meaning in this mess. So the first piece, as the name of the book, is called Simply Put. It's quite short. Okay.

I'll read it for you. Simply put, I am talking to you about what I see and feel. I have many thoughts that come from me and even more thoughts that come from you. I am a painter of words, and you are the canvas. I am trying to separate who I am from who you are, with hope we will create a masterpiece together. However, this is no easy task, because I must ask much of you and even more of me.

But I do not despair. I have my brush and you have your canvas. Together we will drip the paint and let the brush and canvas do their work. Ah, ah. And so that lays the foundation for the rest of the book of giving these things out. This is really great.

A lot of times, if you don't capture that stream of consciousness, this, it disappears. I've had so many great ideas that if I don't write them down, they just get lost to the ether. I'm like, I'll remember that later. Yeah, especially my ADHD. So, you know, it's also come, Chris, as I said, as I said, you know, I struggled with depression and anxiety. And I've wanted to know, am I okay with that? Because obviously it's not comfortable with dealing with these kinds of symptoms. But I've wanted to believe that regardless of what I'm going through, I can find a way to make my life work, to be happy, to find meaning, to find love.

And that's really the message that I have for all of my friends out there. You can discover yourself at 75 or 80. Don't ever give up, man. It can happen. And that's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to write great literature that I can share with the world. And I want people to know that you're there with me and you can be part of this and make it happen for yourself. uplifting stuff there. So how long did it take you to write the book? And is this your first book ever?

Yes, it is my friend. I did write some poetry collaboratively with other poets and we put out an anthology, but this is my first book, correct? And again, I started in October of 2022 with a stream of consciousness. Thank you, Chris. And I have a friend who reviews every one of my pieces. He's a very, very good friend. And he said to me, I said, what do I need to have a book, David? said, Annie, go for 100 pieces. So I said, all right, I'll go for 100 pieces. So I finally got to 100 pieces and I said, let's go some more because I was getting this stream of consciousness type of stuff coming out of me all the time, daily, two, three times a day sometimes. So I decided that I would stop at about 200 pages, 175 vignettes. That's where this is. But from after that, I've now written 1,400 more pieces or 1,300 more vignettes in addition to simply put. And they will, appear in my next two to five books. So yeah, I'm really into a very creative phase. And my goal is yeah, my goal is to write novels after this, but I have to get this done. And I really believe, Chris, that my stuff is lasting stuff. I just have to make a connection with someone like you that can help me to find the right audience for my book. Because I've had a little bit of disappointment. I really couldn't understand why everyone wouldn't like this work, because it's about life. And as somebody

said Andy's only writing what we're thinking. But I found out that not everyone is into this kind of stuff because it is about journey. It is about purpose. But there's short pieces. So I think that even if you're not a reader or you are a reader, there's going to be something you can connect to in this book. And I'd like to think if you read it from cover to cover, you'd really find it to be quite interesting. Yeah. So how many, I think you told us how many you've been answered in the book. And so do you have an anticipated release date for these other books that follow it? I'm working slowly at that. I don't. I'm hoping within the next year or two years that I will have another two or three books out, but it is a lot of work. And the problem I'm having,

too, is that I can't stop writing. And when you can't stop writing, you can't devote time to creating the books that you need to create, right? Because you're writing. So there are different processes involved. So that's my hope. But I'm hoping that if simply put takes off with your show, And then I get a lot of excitement and people by the book. They talk about it and they write reviews that that will help because simply put as the foundational book for which these other books from these other books evolve from where they evolve. I think so.

If this is something that improves people's lives and we're all searching for meaning, right? It seems to be one of those things we're blessing in a curse with. I don't think snakes are running around going, what's my meaning here? They're just like, I like rats and want to eat. It sounds like me. on a weekend. So eating rats. Doritos. Doritos is my former rats. I know you're not eating those rats. I know. But part of what I'm learning, and it's very frustrating, Chris, is that I have to sit with uncertainty.

I don't necessarily, I don't, I think a lot of people feel we have to find meaning now, now, now, and it doesn't work that way, at least not for me. So I found that by just doing something that brings me a sense of joy in the moment provides purpose. And that has to be enough until I can find it somewhere else. So a lot of, a lot of, a lot of this is learning to sit with what you have and not being too demanding of yourself, because the more demanding of yourself, the less likely you are going to be able to find your sense of purpose or meaning, whenever that happens to be. That's what I've learned at anyway. And I suspect that's true for most people. Why do you, why do you think that's true? The people, the people, you think that's true, right? Yeah, but.

Why do you feel that's a truism? And tell us some of the evidence behind that so we can understand our behavior better. So the fundamental question that I have to ask myself is, does any of this mean anything? In the back of the book, when I write this synopsis and ask people to join me, I say, are we dust in the wind? Are we human beings with a purpose? So like Kansas, are we just dust in the wind? Or are we something as we learn to relate to ourselves and other human things? How do we thrive together?

And I admit I really care about humanity and I really want everybody to do well and I want to be part of all that. But I have found relationships to be extremely difficult. There are so many things that are different about me, Chris, than are about you. So even though you may like me or I may like you, we have to come to some kind of understanding that we're different and we're okay being around people that are different. So this whole thing about wanting to control the action and every human being as an ego and they want to control the action, the reality is our greatest joy is found in accepting the reaction that we have in the interaction with other people that we are around. Can you give us another sample from the book that maybe we can either, I don't know if you want to read it, but you can give us an overview if you like and maybe the summation you came to it. And you don't come to summations if I have that correct, right? you just give. Yeah, I just lost

out the idea. Yeah. Let's see. I was asking if you could give us another sample from the book, just an example of like the question you were asking or the thought that you had and the summation of it. Maybe another favorite. Yeah, I didn't, I didn't quite catch

there was a lag and I didn't hear all of that. But if you're, are you saying that can we get another sample from the book? Yes, certainly. I'm going to find a piece here that. So we're all victims of impermanence. And this comes out in a piece that I wrote, and it's called, until it is no more.

We're victims of impermanence. What do we do with that? Everything is what it is until it is no more. Friendships dissolve, marriages end, children leave home. People are born and people die. We move on and find new friends and new mates. We see children less often. We no longer see those that have died.

and we cherish new lives that come into the world, our world. We are part of a cycle of life and death. We are victims of impermanence. Yet we continue to create what we have lost and create what we have never had before. Everything is what it is until it is no more. And again, that's addressing what we're right, right? We're always trying to establish and reestablish relationships. Even if you're an introvert and you make a decision to have less to do with the world,

you're still responding relationally to the way the world is and how much you want to be a part of it. So we all have to look at what it is that we do as human beings, knowing that we're impermanent. We're not going to be here forever. And whether you're a religious person or not really doesn't change. It doesn't change the fact that at some level you're going to die anyway. What happens after that? We all have our beliefs and hopes, and I pray that we all get what we want. But we have to live this world with a sense of meaning.

We have to find a sense of permanence in a life that we know is always changing and is at best impermanent. Yeah. And you talked earlier about sitting with ourselves and the challenge of that. A lot of people have a challenge with sitting with themselves, facing themselves, quieting the mind and listening to what's going on there. and sometimes dealing with the negative self-talk or image that we put on ourselves from our back monkey brain or our ego brain. I don't know if you have any thoughts on that you want to expand on. You're right. You're right, Chris. And sitting with yourself is not something that I'm comfortable with,

and it's not something I've ever wanted to do, but it's something that I've had to do. And because of my struggle with anxiety and depression, things have been much harder, but it doesn't mean that I am allowed to skip the steps. And one of the things that I have learned is that if you don't learn to be comfortable with yourself alone, you can never be comfortable with anyone else. That's what I've done. I've learned that in relationships too. There are some people that if they're alone, they'll lose their minds.

They can't. They'll just lose it. And I think that's part of they're having to face themselves maybe. Absolutely. people run from that and I don't I understand it baby it it's hard to sit down and look at yourself it's hard to sit down and deal with your fears and your insecurities especially when you got a face like mine you have no choice but to deal with them but most people are spending what especially when you have a face like money you're using your monkey brain

you're doing a really good job of it but i mean you're at least cluing into what it is that we all have to deal with whether we whether we recognize it or not it's we're all having to some run from something or deal with something. And we don't want to deal with things because it's hard, but sometimes we have no choice. And that's where you have to learn to sit alone and say, what is it that I can do to make myself feel good about myself without having to worry about what the next guy thinks of me? And it's just the way that it is. Is that maybe one of the problems we have is we spend so much time worrying about what other

people think about us. Yeah, and I get an A plus in that, by the way. I'm always worrying about what other people are thinking of me because I want to be liked like you do. You're such a nice guy. I can tell already. I want to be loved. I want to be appreciated.

And everyone wants to be liked and loved and appreciated. But the fact is we're all different. We have to accept that our stripes are good enough and then find other people with similar stripes that can validate us and make us feel good. And that's hard. Yeah. We have to look at ourselves first. The other thing is a lot of people that think the world is spending all of its time watching them.

It's really not. Most people are so busy in their own head worrying about what people think of them. That, yeah, they don't. You're absolutely right. Yeah. And so it's critical. And I have a piece that talks about that. Oh, really?

A lot of people, they believe that, well, you know, everyone's watching me. Yep. So this is what this I really would like to read. So I struggle with the same thing. For some reason, we have this unrealistic self-importance where we think that somehow what we do, either good or bad, is something the whole world is watching. And the reality is they're not. But we have to come to terms for the fact that they're not. And we're okay. We can recognize ourselves and find the few people in our lives that really give us a reason to breathe. and try to do things in a more generic sense for the world that makes us feel like we're contributing and making the world a better place. So this piece I want to read, Chris, which addresses the very thing we're talking about, is called, in our own moments, and just give me one minute to see if I can find where it is. It's got to be here somewhere in our own moments. Let me one second.

Yes, our own moments. It's page 24 of my book, Simply Put. Thank you for your patience, everyone. So it goes like this. Okay, Chris. Separation, union, loneliness, togetherness, close by, far away. We live this way throughout our days,

our years from cradle to grade. We are never completely alone or completely together, though we may feel one way or the other way, less or more of the time. We are emotional beings in search of meaning, even though we often define meaning in terms of things we have or do not have, instead of who we are. We are frail and in need of one another yet defiant and stubborn,

demanding our own way. Ultimately, we live in our own moments, needing to make connections, but unsure of how to do it. That perfectly describes, I think, everybody at this point. We're interesting little creatures of human nature. Are we kind of interesting how we go about our ways? What do you hope overall people come away with from the book when they read it? I'm sorry, I lost the feed. What do you hope people come away with when they read the book? I hope people come away with the understanding that we're really all in this together. We really are.

We may live different lives. We may respond to different influences, but we really are human beings, and we really are in this together. And if I can lead people with a hope that no matter where you are with what you're struggling with, and I'm a person who has struggled greatly, that there is a reason or a purpose for you to be here and to find your place in this world, and that you can make a significant contribution. But the one thing I want you to know is that as a person who's been in therapy his whole life, these questions are not answered at the deepest level through self-help books. And I respect them, and I've read many of them. These answers are much more philosophical,

much more religious and spiritual, and they do require an honest undertaking and examination. The Greeks are right. You have self-examine a life self-examine is a life worth living. You can't really escape that. If you do, you'll be missing out on much of what you could have been or who you are. So that's what I'd like to lead with the audience. Definitely, definitely. It's interesting, these ancient tomes and advice that we have from people that have been writing about human nature, it's interesting how there's just these eternal truths that no matter what age we've lived, in its humanity, they're still the same. And it is what it is, of course, is a great comment from Meditations book, Marcus Aurelius and Stoicism, I guess. And, but I like how you put it into context

and never heard it put that way before. It is what it is until it no longer is or something that effect, if I do that right. Yeah, until it is more. Until it is more. There it is. And that's the other thing, Chris, if I may. One of the things, one of the things that I've noticed, to is there are positives and negatives to everything in life, right? So the internet's allowing me to talk to you, to look at you, to be able to connect with a global audience where I would have never had that opportunity in the past. So that's a great thing. But the question is, are we wise with internet and social media? If we're not wise, then we're in trouble, right? One of the things that I've noticed among people of all ages that I come across is there is a very,

difficult time in carrying on a conversation. There's a difficult time in getting back to people in a timely manner. The whole concept civility and being responsible for your neighbor, that kind of stuff. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. It does. But it seems to be less of it than there was before the internet. Yeah. It seems, and I think some of it probably has to do with, I don't know, Gen Z or something. I don't know when this started, but like you'd have have people, like for a Facebook marketplace, I'll sell something. And like, they won't come to the door and knock on the door. There's some sort of fear they have about knocking on doors and stuff.

So they sit in their car and they'll text you. I'm outside. I'm like, why don't you knock on the door? You're supposed to, you're going to come in anyway. Right. What the fuck is the deal? And a lot of times they text you, you don't get the ping. You're often some other part of the house or whatever, doing whatever, waiting for them.

And it's just funny some of the different things. Yeah, and trying to get people to get back to you in a timely manner. That's one of the problems I have with Gen Z. It's like they want to do something. They're really excited about. And you're like, okay, let's plan this. And then they're gone. And you're just like, and then a week later they pop up.

Oh, hey, yeah, that one thing. But it's not just Gen Z. Is it? It's not just Gen Z. I know that people point to that sociologists look at that. The reality is because we had instant. access to communicate with people. We're very selective about when we'll communicate with people.

I'll send somebody a text and they're interested in what I'm sending at that moment and they'll respond quickly. But if they're not interested in what I'm sending them in the moment moment, they might not respond for three weeks or at all. So, and that's all age groups, by the way. That's over the middle age people and younger people. Wow. I've got to be honest with you about that.

See, the funny thing is my life is so busy. I just hope that there's, yeah, go ahead. I have so much going on. My life is so busy. And like one of the problems in dating is women don't want you to answer text too quickly because it makes you seem eager. But my life is so busy and I makes good money. I have to get, if something comes across my vision, I have to take care of it and get it moved on. Otherwise, I can't play that game of stacking bullshit and going back and trying to catch up on it all.

I have to one touch everything. I learned this from an apple. was an Apple CEO or as a CEO of one of those big tech companies back in the day. I think it was Apple. And one of his things was read your mail once. Take the letter, open it if you need to, determine what it is and throw it away and decide, do I keep it? Do I throw it away and keep moving? And anytime I'm backing up tasks, like, okay, I'm going to have to get back to that email because that's going to take a little bit more time.

Then those things get lost. and so it's funny sometimes it can hurt you like in dating where oh you answer too quickly it's like honey I'm talking to a million people in the real world of my business internationally friends all over the world and you're just a blip on my screen honey right now because I just I don't know I just started texting you but yeah the fact that I reply isn't that I'm desperate it is that I'm very freaking busy and if you're a woman you probably want a guy who's very fucking not You're busy, but that's a good point, Chris. You're doing it because you're busy.

I'm doing it because I think it's a responsible thing to do. Yeah, I agree too. And a lot of people don't see it at all. I feel like if you're not having an emergency in your life, that it's only responsible to respond within a timely manner. And my idea is like 24 hours. I don't think that's unreasonable, but a lot of people do. So that's another thing.

We live in the kind of world where the rules have changed. The rules are always changing. And so as a result, it's very hard to know what is acceptable, what is not, what is right, what is wrong. And this can be very confusing for people. This can affect their sense of balance and their sense of meaning. So again, it's having to back up and say, okay, this is the world I live in. And I have to accept it at some level to get some of my needs met. But I also have to evaluate what I need and be able to find that,

maybe outside the circle of people I'm presently involved with. And that becomes work. So you see, it's just, again, that's why I say sitting with the pause or the uncertainty and just saying, okay, I'm trying to center myself on what it is that I need to do to feel good about who I am and make other people feel relevant and good about who they are. And I need to deal with this piecemeal sometimes. And that's what I've had to do. And I think people have to do that if they take the time, if they take the time.

Yeah. It's a challenge, man. It's just they have to deal with this. But until you sit with yourself and face your problems, you really can't grow, right? You can't. But that's the problem. And I'll be honest. I'm honest. I'd like to think that journey and growth would have meant something to me at any time in my life. Had I not struggle. And I have had a significant challenge. I've had significant challenges in my life. But you know what? I can't say that if I had gotten caught up in the rat race, making a lot of money, being the brightest guy in the class, making it into politics and becoming this big senator or whatever, that I would have had the time or even made the time to even consider what it means to be alive and what it means to feel satisfied and what it

means to make other people satisfied. Although you've got to do that for yourself first. So that's why you've got to take the time. And you've got to take the time. And you've got to take the time. And it really doesn't matter how we get somewhere as long as we try to understand what it is that we're doing and why we're doing it. And is this okay for us? If you're playing a violin and the strings are starting to snap on you, it's probably, you're probably not in alignment with yourself. But if those violin strings are playing beautifully as intended, you probably are in alignment with yourself. Yeah. Yeah, and that's how you can usually notice if you're falling out of alignment, right?

Stuff stops working, stuff stops going. Yeah. Yeah. So as we round up the show, get people a final pitch out. But Chris, the real thing is, yeah. So, again, my book is a book. It's not a self-help book or a Let Them Theory, which I read is a nice book. It's a book about looking at yourself through questions that you ask of yourself in these various vignettes about relationships.

It's about relationship to yourself and other people. And also there's nature there to help you to get along. One of the things that I point out in the back of my book is even though you're struggling to figure out who you are in relation to yourself and others, you're also taking note of the very beautiful and wondrous world that you live in. And I do that in my book. So if you do read my book and I pray and hope that you do, you'll see that stuff. You'll see observations. And there's a very big chapter on awareness.

What is awareness? I look at awareness in terms of not just me, but in terms of what I see other people doing and how they affect me and how I react to that. That's what these pieces are. I didn't plan it this way, Chris, again, this is all stream of consciousness writing, but they are very thought-provoking pieces. And when I started to read them over and over again and try to get a pattern, I guess that's what I was trying to do subconsciously and to bring to my conscious mind and to bring out into the physical world in a book. So it's taking time to sit with these pieces and recognize that I, and if I can do it, you can do it. So again, I think this is a book for everyone, but I've been, I've learned the hard way that even though I think the book is applicable or applicable to many people, a lot of people are not interested in journey and self growth and philosophy and the questions of life. But that's okay.

I love a football game and a beer too, but the thing is, is that these are questions that are probably going to be knocking at your door at some point in your life, and it's probably best to address them. Because, again, you want those violin strings to be going smoothly, right? You don't want that discordant, noisy set of strings that are breaking up in front of your face. Yeah, very true, very true. So that's really, yeah, it's my, yeah. All right. Thank you very much for coming the show. We really appreciate Andrew. Thank you for having me, Chris.
