What happens when the glow fades? When your practice no longer moves you? When the silence you once revered now feels empty—and you begin to wonder if it ever meant anything at all?

I Thought I Was Done is a spiritual companion for those who find themselves somewhere between awakening and exhaustion. It is a book for the burned-out teacher, the weary healer, the seeker who thought they had found “the answer,” only to feel undone again by life’s relentless unfolding.

In this deeply honest and luminous work, Eric Infanti—a scholar of Buddhist Psychology, Ayurvedic Medicine, and Yoga, a devoted practitioner, and a guide through many initiations—invites you to walk with him through the unexpected terrain of spiritual fatigue and rediscovery. With poetic storytelling, psychological depth, and embodied reverence, this book reveals that the true path doesn’t end with enlightenment—but begins again in its shadow.

Here, discipline is not framed as effort or moral rigor—but as devotion. A daily bow to the mystery. A love affair with the ordinary. A return to breath when nothing feels sacred. Through four transformative parts, you are led gently yet courageously through the illusions of arrival, the dignity of descent, the quiet strength of repetition, and the freedom found in not knowing.

You will explore:

• Why ego reemerges even after deep awakenings—and how to meet it without shame
• How to hold space for disillusionment, spiritual boredom, and grief as valid stages on the path
• The sacredness of discipline when no one is watching, and no results are guaranteed
• How ritual and repetition restore our relationship to meaning
• Why the spiritual drought may be your greatest teacher
• How to keep showing up with love when transformation is no longer dramatic—but subtle and slow

This book is not a how-to guide, it is a lantern for those walking through a fog they never expected. It is a whisper that you are not lost, even if you feel undone. It is a reminder that spiritual maturity is not the absence of struggle—but the willingness to keep walking with open hands, open eyes, and a humble heart.

If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, I thought I was done—this book is for you.
