The EchoPlays
Most chapters end with one. The book is scored — every chapter has a song attached to it — and the EchoPlay is where that song gets its turn: the chapter's question carried by music instead of argument. They aren't extras. They're part of how the book works, which is why they sit on an open shelf.
The soundtrack
The whole walk is scored by Pink Floyd, and the songs are meant to be heard, not read about. The playlist runs in the order the walk takes it, from Coming Back to Life at the doorway to High Hopes at the far end.
The Voices' Shelf
Everyone you'll meet in the tavern came from a real person with a real body of work. This is where I honor them: what each one lit in me, and where to go to meet them in their own words. The tavern's back room, and the shelf the bottles come from.
The four forces
Thirty-three multiple choice questions that return a readout — which of the four forces shaping your life is running loudest right now. About six minutes. No email, no account, nothing stored.

Rewilding Your Soul — on audio, and it goes deeper into those same four forces.

This book is the walk; that one is the map of the ground it stands on. Part One does the naming this book builds on — the machine, the animal caught in it, the water, the cage, the call. It even has a chapter called Welcome to the Machine, and once you've met Chapter One you'll know why that makes me smile. If you listen to nothing else, listen to Part One.

The audiobook lives inside the Rebel's Playground, and joining is free.

Which is worth a word of its own

This book covers difficult material. That isn't an accident and it isn't a warning — it's the nature of the work. But there's a difference between reading hard things alone and reading them somewhere you can say this one landed and have someone answer.

That's what the Playground is for. It's private, which means you don't stumble into it. You arrive because you chose to.

Along with the audiobook, membership includes
Something from me every week.
A video, a piece of writing, a question worth sitting with — whatever the week calls for. Every member gets it, whether you ever pay me anything or not.
And me.
I'm in there. I read what people write and I answer questions. That's less a feature than a fact you should have before deciding whether the room is worth your time.

The Rebel's Mythos this one is paid

Fifty weeks. A waypoint at a time, with the monthly conversation that goes with it.

It's for the reader who finishes a book like this and thinks now what — who'd rather have a year of company than a shelf of good intentions.

It's also for the reader who gets partway in and realizes they want to slow down. That happens, and it isn't a failure of nerve. Some of this material asks for more room than a few evenings give it, and the Mythos is what that room looks like: one waypoint a week, for a year, instead of fourteen chapters in a fortnight.

There's a program for parents and kids inside it too.

Access doesn't expire. Walk the year and it stays yours.

The part I should say out loud

I understand the irony. I spend part of this book naming an industry that often sells unrealistic quick fixes and cures for the disease it caused, and my work sits close enough to it that I get filed there too.

So here's what the Mythos is not. It is not designed to sell you insights. It is not a detour around anything that hurts. And it is not built to keep you a customer.

The whole point is to get you to where you don't feel the need to buy the next thing — where you're the source of your own aliveness. That's the goal. If it works, you stop needing me.

And if you ever want to come back, you can. That's what the lifetime access is for.

For some people this book is exactly what they needed and nothing more is required. For others there's a deeper version of it.

The only way to find out which one you are is to read a bit first.
