11.5 RULES FOR YOUR BEST LIFE – Self-Help from a Clueless Guy

  • Packed with humor, engaging entertainment, and a dash of provocation!
  • Taking mental coaching to task – a relatable read you can identify with!

"Self-help is like a lightsaber battle. It looks great in the movies, but in reality, you are bound to lose a limb."

Self-help is booming! Whether it is overcoming depression or heart issues, building a career or self-confidence, dealing with childhood trauma, or managing family disasters – there is always a mental coach book promising to solve all your problems. 

Maxi Gstettenbauer has read hundreds of these books. He knows how to win friends and influence people, how to get rich, and how to reframe your beliefs. In his new book, he takes a witty look at our (social media-fueled) urge to tackle every issue by changing our mindset and becoming the best version of ourselves while trying to create magic. But surprise! It often ends in disaster.
