You Are Not Broken.

You are Asleep at the Wheel.

Move beyond internal struggle with a science-based approach to interrupt automatic habits and regain control with practical skills you can use today.

You are the driver of a self-driving vehicle with its own agenda.

Modern life compounds the problem of constant notifications, endless choices, and chronic stress. If anxiety or habitual behaviours arise, self-blame is common. The reality is that these originate from our self-driving system, while we, as the driver, personalize the result.

This book explains how automatic we really are and how to take control with our conscious driver to drive toward the life we want.

A Simple Framework Anyone Can Master

The Self-Driving You offers strategies for recognizing and overriding automatic responses that do not serve us. This guided learning provides an immediately applicable framework for interrupting stress, cravings, procrastination, and self-criticism in real time.

Who This Is For

For overthinkers, anxious achievers, and anyone tired of fighting themselves.

5 Things This Book Will Teach You

1
Many of your thoughts and reactions happen automatically, before you even notice. This book will help you build awareness and recognize when that happens.
2
What you pay attention to shapes your habits. The more you focus on something, the more automatic it becomes.
3
Stress is not a personal failing. Your mind is constantly adjusting how you react, often without you noticing, and years of experience can throw it off balance.
4
When you stick with your automatic reactions, you make them stronger. Change happens when you break the pattern and try something new.
5
Deliberate attention, especially practices like mindfulness, is our secret power for taking control and rewiring our brain.
