Yes! Anyone who pre-orders the book will get access to join Richard for a live, three-part series where he’ll guide us through a living experience of contemplation — a deep life practice that restores presence, emotional balance and creative clarity in a distracted world.

The series will focus on three core themes of Contemplation:

Expand Time → Softening urgency

Transform Your Emotions → Meeting Feelings Without Fixing Them

Unleash Your Natural Brilliance → Setting the Stage for Epiphanies

The beloved text of this book remains largely unchanged but does have a new preface and section on longevity. Listeners to the audiobook will also receive a bonus contemplation, ‘Sleep, Longevity and the Permission Field’.

In order to maximise its discoverability, we officially changed the book title from The Art of Contemplation to Contemplation.

This is a pivot to help the book find its furthest possible reach. While the “wrapping” is different, the core message and content remain almost identical – aside from a new preface, new section on longevity and testimonials.

Yes, Richard has recorded an audiobook of Contemplation. This will include a new bonus contemplation, ‘Sleep, Longevity and the Permission Field’. You can pre-order on Amazon here and from all other retailers where pre-orders are available.

Yes, at some point in the future Contemplation will be available in paperback. We do not yet know when this will be.

Yes, you can still purchase copies of The Art of Contemplation through Amazon and other retailers while stocks last. As of March 6th, Richard will no longer be self-publishing copies of The Art of Contemplation.

We will keep everyone updated around translating Contemplation into other languages, if and when that occurs.
