this is a short read, at ~14,000 words.
Rediscover your unstoppable self Many of us are suffering right now, whether it be through stress, anxiety, money worries, burnout, and self-doubt.
I've personally struggled for years with all of the above.
Many well-meaning people make all kinds of suggestions to alleviate these problems, but most, if not all of them address them at the surface-level, not the root.
We hear about behavioural techniques like affirmations, cognitive behavioural therapy, neuro-linguistic programming, emotional freedom technique, positive-thinking and more.
These can help, of course. But nothing has made more of a change in my own life, handling anxiety and feeling more alive than understanding the core ideas I'll share with you in this book.
They go straight to the root of the issue, and I'm excited to share them with you in this book.
I do this by looking more closely at how we think, and how thinking relates to our behaviour and our perception of the world around us.

This book will show you how Deal with anxiety and build unstoppable confidence and energyOvercome fears of moneySee the world in an entirely new and more hopeful lightHandle rejection and a fear of judgement from othersRealise your innate creativity and confidence "A lot of books in the self-help space make you feel like there is something wrong with you and advise changing in some way to “fix” yourself.
This book doesn’t do that at all. Rather than change our behaviour, Alex explains the principles that look at what makes us human and shows us how our personal thinking can be innocently misused.
It changed my way of thinking for the better."
-- Bradley George, early reader.
Who am I? I am a British writer, coach and illustrator who has struggled with overthinking and anxiety for much of my life. I was fortunate to have come across a set of principles that changed everything for me.

Living by these principles means I am happier than I have ever been, and more often in a state of ease, creativity, and joy. I have a significantly more harmonious relationship with life and the way it unfolds.

Who's the book for? These concepts can equally benefit the artist, the CEO, the stay-at-home mother of four, and the farmer tending to his crop.
I will discuss very real natural laws that, when understood, will help you reach deeper mental wellness. This is a book about how we think; how our thinking directly shapes our experience of reality, and how this understanding impacts our mental health.
I guarantee that if you are willing to absorb what I’m about to show you, let go of unhelpful assumptions, and allow your perspective to re-align with something new, you can live a peaceful and energised life, regardless of your circumstances.

"Honestly, I wish I had access to these sorts of materials at school. I would have done much better. I shall be teaching my children these sorts of principles along with my faith.
The key take away is that we can learn to watch ourselves without believing that what we think is ‘real’. This is a trip well-worth taking (and I took it myself) and my life is much more content as a result."
- Joshua Cartwright, early reader
