About the author

I'm Max Ali is a life and health coach with a passion for inspiring others to build the life they want. Like really want! I've spent more than a decade helping people in healthcare as a pharmacist and over 6 years in medical research.

I'm also a total failure at many other things, and that's totally normal. The number of business's I've started that didn't workout...let not talk about that. Still a sore spot. I have been the person who followed the sensible route, ticked the boxes, and then quietly asked, "Is this it?" This book is the guide I wish I had in my twenties: grounded, honest, and practical.

Frequently asked questions

Is this just another "follow your passion" book?

No. Passion matters, but the book is just as concerned with reality. You will see honest discussion of money, probability, trade offs, and how your brain actually works.

No. The book is written for people who do not know or who thought they knew and are now doubting it. It gives you tools to explore, not a script to follow.

No. I have a science background. I do not believe the universe is going to rearrange itself because you bought a journal. This is about thinking clearly, acting deliberately, and adjusting as you go.

There are questions and prompts. You will get more from the book if you actually write your answers down. No one is marking it, but your future self will care.
