From writer, political cartoonist, and bestselling author Henry James Garrett comes a bold collection of prescriptions for living: rejecting the false courage peddled by contemporary “thought leaders” and instead embracing a life of joy, satisfaction, and true conviction.

The dominant strands in contemporary personal development rest on individualism: they suggest that you could better yourself by looking out for number one and brushing off others' opinions and needs, or that you are an infinitely perfectible machine who could finally win the competition of life if you only had the right regimen of habits. But missing from these offerings is any true ambition. Building on his background in philosophy, author Henry James Garrett dismantles the myths of power, achievement, and masculinity that have set so many people up for failure and offers a better path.

In bold, unapologetic terms, Garrett makes the case for actually worthy aspirations: Loving yourself exactly as you are today so you can make meaningful change tomorrow. Being able to look yourself in the mirror. Feeling how good it feels to have a coherent sense of self, a reconciliation between what you believe and what you do, what you value and what your life is aimed at.
