Between the Lemons: The Unexpected Power of Just Enough
HAPPINESS ISN'T A DESTINATION. IT’S A MUSCLE.
Most of us are running on a treadmill of our own making. On paper, life looks fine—the bills are paid, the career is stable, the family is healthy. But underneath, there is a low-grade hum of dissatisfaction. A "churn" that wakes you up at 3:00 a.m. wondering, Is this it?
We chase promotions, new cars, and "inbox zero," hoping they will finally quiet the noise. They never do.
Between the Lemons is not another bubblegum self-help book telling you to manifest your dreams or smile through the pain. It is a field guide for the restless, the burned-out, and the skeptics who suspect that "having it all" shouldn't feel this exhausting.
Drawing on evolutionary psychology, stoic philosophy, and hard-won experience, Sebastian Reth dismantles the myths that keep us anxious and offers a practical toolkit for reclaiming your life from the inside out.
