Addicted to the Future – A Workbook for Transformation

Elias Rubenstein

Rewrite Your Presence. Reclaim your Power.

Most people believe their lives are shaped by the past—their memories, experiences, and regrets. But what if the real force controlling your life isn’t behind you, but ahead of you?

Every day, your mind is consumed with plans, worries, and expectations. You imagine outcomes that may never happen, chase goals that always seem just out of reach, and fear possibilities that exist only in your thoughts. Without realizing it, you’ve become addicted—not to your past, but to your imagined future.

At first, it seems harmless. Isn’t it good to set goals and plan ahead? But there’s a trap. By placing happiness, peace, and fulfillment in a future that doesn’t exist, you rob yourself of the only thing that’s real—the present moment. Many people spend their entire lives waiting for “someday,” never realizing that someday never comes.

The future promises certainty, control, and security. But life doesn’t follow a script. When reality doesn’t match your expectations, anxiety floods in. You worry about health, money, relationships, and success, believing that if you plan enough, you can avoid pain. But these fears don’t protect you—they imprison you.

This book is your key to breaking free. It will show you how to reclaim your power, silence the endless chase, and finally start living—right here, right now.
