CA In ""Decenter Everything"", David weaves together his insights, experience, and profound empathy, inviting us to reconsider our place in the world. He reminds us that we were never meant to be at the center, but rather to be living stones-each of us unique, yet part of a greater whole. Through this book, David guides us toward a life of deeper meaning and purpose, one that is found not in self-centredness, but in embracing our interconnectedness and our calling to support and uplift others.
