My Books
My books are Wisdom Manuals, small guides for the inner life
They grew out of years of listening, writing, and paying attention to the human heart. Each book is simple and clear. Not because the territory is simple, but because clarity serves better than complexity when you're trying to find your way.
These books are meant to be used. Not read once and shelved, but returned to. They are companions for the quiet work of becoming more honest with yourself. Reminders when old patterns resurface. Invitations back to what you already know but keep forgetting.
They don't offer answers so much as they offer recognition. The kind that makes you feel less alone in what you're navigating. The kind that helps you trust what you've been sensing but haven't yet named.
Each book holds space for the questions that matter most. Not the questions that sound impressive, but the ones that actually shape how you live. The ones you ask yourself in the early morning or late at night, when no one else is listening.
They are written for people who are ready to look at what's true, even when it's uncomfortable. For people who suspect that the life they've been living might not be the only life available to them. For people who are willing to do the slow work of realignment.
These books won't tell you what to do. They will help you hear yourself more clearly.
These are the ones closest to my heart right now:
The Alchemy of Becoming
The Alchemy of Becoming is an illustrated journey through the quiet, unseen moments when a life begins to change.
Told with poetic simplicity and accompanied by rich, dreamlike artwork, this book traces the path from fragmentation to wholeness, from the first subtle crack you try to ignore, to the moment you realize you are not breaking, but becoming.
Through symbolic imagery and gentle, soul-reflective text, you are invited to explore:
-
the parts of yourself you were taught to hide
-
the stories that shaped your inner landscape
-
the beauty inside your most tender fractures
-
the quiet arrival of your own becoming
This is not a book about fixing yourself.
It is a companion for the deeper work of returning to yourself, learning to belong to your life again, and discovering the quiet power that emerges when you stop trying to heal and begin to create.
A soft, intimate guide for anyone standing at the edge of change or longing to.
Alexithymia in Relationships
Alexithymia in Relationships has become one of my most popular books, touching thousands of people who are trying to understand emotional disconnection in themselves or in someone they love.
Because so many readers asked for a practical way to apply the insights, I created a 300-page guided workbook to go with it.
​
Alexithymia in Relationships, Workbook offers a hands-on path to recognizing emotions in the body, communicating without pressure, repairing misunderstandings gently, and building trust step by step.
It includes short teachings, guided reflection prompts, simple practices, and creative mapping pages, a structured, compassionate space to deepen connection in everyday life.
Both books work beautifully on their own, but together they create a powerful journey from understanding to transformation.
Inner Cartography
Inner Cartography is one of the foundations of my work — a way of mapping the invisible patterns, emotions, and inner landscapes that shape our lives. Because so many people resonated with the process, I created a 300-page guided workbook that brings the entire Inner Cartography framework to life.
​
The Inner Cartography Workbook gives you a practical, creative space to explore your emotional patterns, make sense of deeper experiences, and reconnect with your inner world.
It combines gentle teachings, guided reflection prompts, body-based awareness exercises, and spacious mapping pages where you can write, sketch, and visually trace the stories and signals inside you.
​
This workbook helps you slow down, recognize what your inner world is trying to say, and understand the patterns that influence your relationships, decisions, and sense of self.
It’s a companion for clarity, healing, and the quiet courage of getting to know yourself in a deeper way.

In twelve gentle steps, it offers a quiet way to sit with what hurts, breathe into what feels heavy, and rediscover the thin thread of meaning that grief never fully takes away.

The Tyranny of Shoulds
From ‘must’ to ‘me’: redefine your life’s script
The Tyranny of Shoulds challenges everything you believe about self-improvement and daily life. In a world drowning in relentless expectations, from social media’s highlight reels to family traditions that weigh on your every move, it’s time to question why you keep telling yourself you “should” do this or that. Are these rules genuinely yours, or are they inherited scripts you never chose?
LOVE
An Exploration
I never intended to write a book about love.
What began as personal exploration, seeking to understand the moments of profound connection that occasionally broke through my ordinary consciousness, gradually revealed itself as something meant to be shared.
This book emerged not from expertise but from questions. From wondering why love sometimes flowed effortlessly and other times seemed impossibly distant.

The Second Peak
Men’s Rediscovering Purpose and Power in the Second Half of Life
Men’s Rediscovering Purpose and Power in the Second Half of Life boldly asserts that for men, true fulfillment can blossom well beyond their thirties.

Aimed at men confronting the stirrings of midlife, those unfamiliar restlessnesses, physical changes, and evolving relationships.
