What happens when you stop trying to fix yourself, and start listening to the version of you that’s quietly been there all along?
That’s what How They Grow: Among Cubicles and Questions explores. It’s not a guide, and it sure as hell isn’t a success story. It’s a journal. A snapshot of one mind navigating work, identity, burnout, isolation, and the uncomfortable question of whether all this effort is actually making us more human—or less.
And for the next few days, it’s free on Amazon.
I made this book for anyone who’s ever:
-
Sat in a Zoom call wondering why they feel like a ghost
-
Asked themselves, “Is this what being an adult is supposed to feel like?”
-
Tried to follow all the advice and still felt like they were falling behind
-
Thought maybe—just maybe—the problem isn’t you, it’s the framework
This isn’t a self-help book. It’s a self-witnessing book.
Why Free?
Because I don’t want money to be the barrier.
Because maybe someone out there needs this more than I need a sale.
Because stories like this don’t fit cleanly on bookstore shelves, but they do fit in the cracks where we quietly live our real lives.
I’d love it if you gave it a shot. If it resonates, share it. Leave a review. Or just carry it with you silently. That’s enough too.
Thanks for reading.
