Publisher's Synopsis
Ever wanted to burn the self-help section to the ground and write your own way out instead?
This is that book. Raw. Real. Yours.
You didn't land here by accident.
You're here because something hurts. Maybe everything hurts.
You've tried the neat, shiny advice. You've nodded politely at the quotes on Instagram. And yet - here you are. Still stuck. Still spinning. Still searching.
This book is for you.
Written in a unique, choose-your-own-path style, That Self-Help Book doesn't tell you how to feel better - it walks with you through the actual mess.
You'll hear from two voices:
2019 Lisa, who believed in tough love and fast answers, and
2025 Lisa, who's softened, deepened, and learned how to sit in the dark without flinching.
It started as a love letter - a cheat code - written for one person: Jamie.
A way for his mum to be with him on every page if she wasn't here to say the words out loud.
But now it's open to the world.
Even if the world doesn't say thank you.
You'll explore rage. Guilt. Shame. Grace.
You'll decide what to keep - and what to burn.
No toxic positivity. No "5 easy steps." No pretending.
This isn't about fixing yourself.
It's about finally being allowed to speak, feel, and choose.
It's part survival manual, part soul map.
Like a Scouse auntie crossed with your best mate who's lived a thousand lives.
It's fierce, flawed, and rooting for you anyway.
No pressure.
No perfect ending.
Just your next page - ready when you are.
