This Isn’t a Self-Help Book
I never set out to write a self-help book. Most of them felt too shiny, too certain, or too far from the kind of life I was actually living.
The greatest challenge in writing this book was knowing that you, a serious person, might roll your eyes at me. I get it. I’ve done the eye-roll myself. More than once.
But after coaching hundreds of leaders and losing my own sense of clarity in the process, I started to notice something: The problem wasn’t that we didn’t know what mattered. It’s that we’d forgotten how to let it in.
A Book About Interruption, Not Reinvention
The Seven is my way of coming back to what’s real. It was written for people who’ve gotten a little lost in their own momentum.
This isn’t about transformation. It’s about interruption. The good kind.
It’s a book you return to when the pressure spikes, when the days blur, or when you need to remember how to feel on purpose again.
There’s no shortage of self-help advice. But what most of it misses is this: You don’t need to blow up your life. You just need to disrupt the loop.
Short on Purpose. Built to Travel With You.
This book is short on purpose. It’s meant to travel with you.
To remind you that you don’t need to become someone else.
You just need to remember how to feel like yourself again.
What’s Inside
Written for anyone who feels numb, stuck, or slightly out of step, The Seven introduces seven small but powerful revolutions.
Over seven short chapters, you’ll find language to reconnect with yourself in the middle of your real, already-in-motion life:
-
Adventure (not risk, but novelty)
-
Grief (not closure, but continuation)
-
Intimacy (not sex, but safety)
-
Curiosity (not answers, but presence)
-
Ritual (not routine, but return)
-
Play (not childishness, but freedom)
-
Stillness (not silence, but awareness)
The Prerequisite: Discomfort
Each one is simple in theory but hard to access when you’re stuck in overdrive. That’s why this book starts with something most of us avoid: rethinking our relationship with discomfort.
Because if you can stay with the things that feel awkward, unfamiliar, or off-pattern, these seven don’t just land. They stick.
This Is a Return-To Guide
This isn’t a how-to guide. It’s a return-to guide.
These aren’t hacks or habits. They’re small revolutions. Not to transform your life, but to re-enter it.
To feel on purpose again, even when life is busy, automatic, or flat.
