Why Bother Trying

If you’ve been reading the newsletter the last few months or listening to the New Man Podcast, you’ll know that I have been working on a book.

I’ve decided against going the traditional publisher route, and I have also opted out from normal self-publishing. Instead, I’ve hired a company (Book Launchers) with the resources of a publisher to help me self-publish really well. Some sort of hybrid, I suppose.

You will hear much more on the book in the coming newsletters – the release is likely going to be early 2022. But I had a conversation with someone on my team from Book Launchers that I wanted to share with you.

We have finally finished a grueling editing process (over 5 rounds altogether, each one coming with thousands of edits/suggestions). Now that that’s over, we are on to the fun stuff – naming the book and designing the cover.

My Author Concierge (fancy, right?) asked me, “What is the main feeling you want to evoke in the cover?” I didn’t even think twice…

Hope.

For me, each newsletter, podcast episode, recovery guide, book and interview is a chance to provide hope to the incredible men of this world. The recovery journey is a slog. It’s not always easy, and sometimes you wonder if anything you’re doing is really working.

Other times you wonder if it’s even worth trying to get free – because what if it doesn’t work? What if you fail anyway?

Let me be the voice in your brain today that tells you loud and clear – YOU CAN DO THIS! Every single person on the planet is capable of long-term freedom and you are not the exception. There are men all around the world getting free every day and you have a chance to join forces with them.

You’re so worth it.

Cheering you on,
Sathiya
