by Mark Linsenbardt (Author)

You've been living inside a story you didn't know you were telling.

Not a metaphor. An actual story, built from everything that happened to you, assembled by a brain that needed to make sense of it all. Over time that story stopped feeling like an interpretation and started feeling like the truth. You stopped seeing it as something you were carrying and started calling it just the way things are.

It's where almost everyone ends up.

This book is for people who are ready to see the story for what it is.

To understand how your brain turned your experience into an identity, why it defends that identity even when it's costing you, and what it actually takes to write something different.

Your brain built this story to protect you. At some point it stopped protecting you and started running you. Once you can see that moment, everything changes.

You'll learn to separate what actually happened from the meaning you assigned to it. You'll see the roles you've been playing without knowing you chose them. You'll understand why the story feels so true even when the evidence says otherwise. You'll find the gap between who you are and who you've been performing for the world. You'll have the tools to examine the story honestly and change what isn't working.

You are the author. You always were.

This book shows you how to write like one.
