Before the book, the pattern prevails

It always comes back.

You've done the work. The workshop, the protocol, the therapy that finally gave you language for this pattern running in the background like a ghost in the machine. For a few weeks, there was relief - a glimmer of hope. Then the familiar challenging dynamic showed up with a different person - here we go again.

It's not that you lack willpower. There's a trained pattern running the way it was built to run. You haven't had a choice.

This pattern was trained into your nervous system before you had language for it, which means it was never your fault. It also means it can be retrained.

The emotion

Fires first, before you get a say in it.

The mind

Writes the story that justifies the feeling, and keeps that story running long after the feeling has burned out.

The body

Holds the state, which is why you can wake up braced for a day that hasn't started yet.

Three places it shows up

What it is costing you.

It’s one pattern, and it never stays in the place you first noticed it.

Relationships

The same fight, even with a different partner, and you being right has never once made anyone want to be closer. Or it's the version where nobody is fighting but nobody is present either.

What you actually want

You want the closest relationships in your life to feel close again, and to stop bracing for the next conversation that goes wrong.

Body & Health

You know what to do to get the body and the health you want. Knowing what to do hasn't been the missing piece for a long time. Getting yourself to show up for it consistently? That hasn't happened.

What you actually want

You want the health and the physique you can feel good about, and every plan you start is running on the same fuel that failed last time.

Career & Money

The business runs on you because you've never trusted anyone or anything else. Or maybe it's actually going well, but you're still white knuckling it.

What you actually want

You want it to thrive. You want to make more money and be financially free. Mostly you want to actually feel successful, and to make a difference, for your life to mean something.

You've tried before

Why none of it worked.

Therapy gave you language. Understanding a pattern doesn't slow it down when it fires. Coaching and masterminds gave you strategy, and strategy sitting on top of an emotional driver that hasn't changed lasts a few weeks at best. None of it was wrong. All of it was aimed at the wrong layer.

Awareness identifies the pattern. Training is what creates the change. That distinction is the whole reason this book exists and the reason the reading list you've already worked through didn't get you there.

Joey Klein, founder of Inner Matrix Systems
The author

Who is talking.

At nineteen, Joey Klein nearly died from substance abuse. That collapse started a two-decade investigation into how human patterns form and what actually changes them. That investigation became the Inner Matrix Method.

He has trained Fortune 500 executives, professional athletes, and people around the world who wanted their lives to work differently. He has spoken at the United Nations Peace Summit. The body of work is the method itself: the same protocol, refined over 22 years, run with more than 90,000 people.

This book is that method, written down.

The book

What the book actually is.

The Inner Matrix is the method written down in full. Ten chapters, five steps, the whole protocol, in the order Joey teaches it. Not a summary, and not an invitation to buy the real thing later.

The ideas in it aren't theories. It's the same method Joey has trained with more than 90,000 people over 22 years: get unstuck, break limiting patterns, and take your life to the next level.

This is training. Not therapy. Not coaching. Training.

01

Identify the pattern producing the outcome you want to change

Separate it from the story you've been telling yourself about it.

02

Map the pattern across all four layers

Emotions, mind, body, and the intuitive aspect. Each one takes a different intervention, which is why a mental technique has never moved an emotional pattern.

03

Stop mistaking familiar for true

The gut is a record of where you've already been emotionally, not higher wisdom. “Trusting your gut” will get you the same results you've gotten in the past.

04

See why awareness on its own strengthens a pattern

Thinking about the loop you want out of actually strengthens and reinforces that loop.

05

Run the five-step process

The full protocol is in the book.

  1. 01Understand
  2. 02Experience
  3. 03Confirm
  4. 04Repeat
  5. 05Realize
Inside the book

Ten chapters. The whole method.

01

The Power of the Matrix

The most important relationship you have is with yourself.

02

The First Relationships

Where the pattern was trained, before you had language for it.

03

The Illusion of Choice

Why the pattern decides before you do.

04

The Mind’s Cage

The story the mind writes, and the way out of it.

05

The Dynamic Interaction Between Mind and Emotion

The emotion fires first. The mind justifies it.

06

The Power of Love and Fear

Every state you run is love-based or fear-based.

07

Where You Live

The state your body holds, and how to train it.

08

The Transformative Power of the Intuitive Self

The fourth layer, and how to distinguish intuition from patterned emotion.

09

The Mirror

What changes in the people around you when you train.

10

Defining Your Reality

Name the vision, and run the five steps toward it.

What readers say

From the reviews.

★★★★★

Evolve Yourself, Your Relationships, Your Career, Your Inner Joy and Peace

Inner Matrix Systems has brilliantly combined the best of applied neuroscience, psychology and philosophy.

I have been a licensed clinical psychologist in practice for over 25 years. Inner Matrix Systems has deepened my understanding of neuroscience, the unconscious and the conscious mind. As a psychologist, I have witnessed Inner Matrix Systems transform lives, heal complex trauma, eliminate despair, transform debilitating grief, restore self-esteem and eliminate shame.

Inner Matrix Systems exceeds the best techniques I have known. Inner Matrix Systems creates powerful, real, meaningful transformations. I have encountered nothing better to understand the unconscious influences that drive our own experience of life and no better method to become the driver of our own reality.

Inner Matrix Systems teaches the ability to master your emotions, your thoughts and your current and future experience of life in a quick, deep and sustainable way. Lydia Glass, Ph.D.

Easy read, simple practices!

What an amazing way to learn in simple terms, the science behind what we say, do and feel.

A great build off the first book. All the practices so far have easily translated into real time changes for me and my kids. A MUST READ if looking to create a little more peace and calm at home!

Empowering and Engaging

I have read a ton of self-help books and none have impacted me as much as learning the tools of the first edition.

Book 2 is a beautiful evolution and refinement so that it's even more practical. I love how relatable the writing is--I can see myself in the case studies which leads me to believe that it's possible to transform areas of my life too.

The solid science behind the training principles helps me to understand why it makes sense to invest my time and energy into this approach. By simply applying the tools and strategies, I now experience more peace and enjoyment with my family and the adventure of starting my own business.

It's not a one and done thing--the book showed me that it's about training a new mindset and much more. I am so grateful I now have a training system I trust because the results don't lie--I have made incredible strides toward my vision of knowing myself as joy no matter what the circumstances present.

I have found my gym for my internal fitness and since 2014 it has become my lifestyle! Ready to make a real change--to reinvent yourself? Read this book!

Cannot recommend this book enough!

I had tried all kinds of therapies and therapists, books and teachings, so many healing modalities over the decades, and though I found lots of things that made good sense and brought temporary relief, I was not able to create the lasting peace, connection, and fulfillment I longed for.

I still walked through life being triggered into reactions I would later regret, leaving a wake of suffering behind me, all while feeling like I was the victim. Anger, anxiety, betrayal, sadness, shame, guilt, despair, these were my norm.

I wanted so badly to be a rock for myself and a pillar for others, but in reality, I was powerless. Psychology and spirituality had lots of lovely answers for me, but the results I continued to get in every area of life were not at all what I intended.

The results just do not lie. I realized right away, the Inner Matrix was the important piece I had been missing. It was the explanation and practical application I had been searching for to create the experience of life I so deeply desired.

Finally, I am training how to actually walk the walk and be the change I wish to see, and it is nothing short of miraculous! I feel more peace, freedom, joy and empowerment than I could ever have imagined. I cannot recommend this book and this life-changing work enough!

Insightful, supportive and science based

Before reading this book, I blamed everyone and everything for my emotions.

My son did not do what he was supposed to and therefore made me mad. My partner dumped her anxiety on me and now I'm worried. My boss gave me an unfair deadline and now I am in deep fear.

I was completely unhinged and at the mercy of every person and event happening around me. I had no center, no foundation. It was through the guidance of this book and the work it supports that I found inner peace.

From this peace, I am creating a great life of no regrets. I'm grateful to the author for helping me to see the possibility in every moment of living.

I love the science!

As a computer science and biology grad, I have always been fascinated in how the mind works.

I've read a lot of personal development and self-improvement type books over the years and while many of them have been very helpful very few had the focus on the why things work the way they do when it comes to the brain, thoughts, and emotions.

And while I love reading the book for content and understanding, what I really love about it is the practical application of proven techniques, which have made a difference in the way I think and feel as well as my experience of the world. Truly game-changing. I highly recommend.

After the book

What the training produced.

From people who went on to train with Joey directly.

During my first year I hit both my business and personal benchmarks. On the business side, I doubled my company revenue. On the personal side, after three knee surgeries in 2021 I could barely walk. I was mountain biking, snowboarding, and hiking Norway during my first year.
Melissa Kline Owner & President, IMPACT ENERGY
Within 6 months of working 1-on-1 with him I started seeing remarkable results. There were clear indicators of a direct correlation between my training and the results. Most were measurable, financial indicators in the non-profit I run.
