Seventy-three-year-old former beauty Aurora is a perpetually broke, eccentric divorcée living in the wealthy enclave of Marin County. When she discovers her father’s widow has died, she decides to drive to Los Angeles to see whether this means money for her. Aurora’s high-strung daughter, Leyla, spends her days keeping up with the other Marin County uber moms, manically chasing perfection. When she overhears a conversation that leads her to suspect her husband is embarking on an affair, she sneaks into his cannabis business conference to spy on him. Leyla and Aurora's separate quests intersect and enmesh in Los Angeles over the course of a weekend where they both end up staying with cousins, quirky, endearing, Sephardic Jews who speak Ladino, mostly in proverbs and cook prodigious quantities of delicacies from the old country, the island of Rhodes. Hijinks, chaos, and yes, even some healing, ensue.

“A bold framework for building lives and societies dedicated to reducing suffering.” — BookLife, Publishers Weekly
What if the purpose of life isn’t to seek happiness, but to suffer less?
We measure progress in lifespan, wealth, and technology—yet suffering persists everywhere. Sufferless reframes progress the true measure is not how long we live or how much we own, but how well we reduce the burden of suffering, from the self to society.
Blending science, philosophy, and practical insight, Sufferless reveals how suffering emerges whenever stress exceeds capacity across the physical, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual domains—and how that simple equation can guide everything from our health and relationships to our institutions and future.
Across six parts, the book travels from the philosophy of suffering to the nature of knowledge and perception, through self-actualization, the dynamics of relationships, and the structures of society—culminating in the applied design of a sufferless world, including the ethical implications for artificial intelligence. Along the way, it translates even the most politically divisive issues into the shared language of suffering—helping bridge divides through our universal human experience.
By the end, you’ll hold a compass for reducing suffering—within yourself, between one another, and across the systems that shape our world.
Part science, part philosophy, part compass, Sufferless invites readers to imagine a world where less suffering is not just possible, but the very definition of progress.
