Mental Prisons

A Self-Help Book for Nobody

Coming in 2024 (hopefully summer!)

Self-help books don’t really help

If they did, we wouldn’t have a “loneliness epidemic.” There wouldn’t be 77 million people on psychiatric drugs. Imposter syndrome wouldn’t be a thing.

Over 40 million self-help books are sold every year. Maybe no one is reading them?

Mental Prisons is a “self-help book for nobody” because it doesn’t contain any advice. It’s not meant to help the reader do anything but see what’s possible.

Zero Advice

Mental Prisons is a self-help book with no advice. No frameworks, no guidelines. Nada.

Why? Because nothing actually works!

It took 30 years to get out of my own head

Mental Prisons tells the story of my 30-year negative self-absorption, believing the worst things about myself despite all the good things in my life.

After I stopped believing myself, I could finally believe in myself.

“I’m a failure.”

“Why am I no good at this?”

“How could I be so stupid?”

“What an idiot.”
