15 Ways Your AI Co-Writer Gets It Wrong and How to Catch Every One

Your AI can write a chapter in minutes. It can also invent facts, forget what it wrote two pages ago, and slowly drift away from your voice without telling you.
These aren't rare glitches. They're built into how the technology works. And if you don't know what to look for...

A No-Nonsense Guide to the Technology Running Your Life

AI is in your phone, your email, your job, your doctor's office, and quite possibly your toaster. It writes code, generates video, passes bar exams, and argues with your mother about seating charts. It's a trillion-dollar industry that showed up faster than anyone expected, and most people still don't understand...

You Loved It Until You Knew

A poem about autumn makes a reader cry. Then someone mentions it was written by AI.
The same words. The same line breaks. The same image of bare branches holding their shape after everything else has gone.
But the tears stop.
Something closes.
The experience reverses, not because the writing...

After Effort
After Effort

Work, worth, and meaning after effort — and after AI

Something strange happens when the work gets easier. Instead of relief, there's a low hum of wrongness. A suspicion that if it didn't cost you something, it doesn't count.
After Effort names what most people feel but can't articulate: that ease feels like cheating, that rest feels stolen, and that...

The Alchemy of Becoming

The Alchemy of Becoming is an illustrated journey through the quiet, unseen moments when a life begins to change.
Told with poetic simplicity and accompanied by rich, dreamlike artwork, this book traces the path from fragmentation to wholeness, from the first subtle crack you try to ignore, to the moment you realize you are not breaking, but becoming.

Through symbolic imagery and gentle, soul-reflective text, you are invited to explore:
 

  • the parts of yourself you were taught to hide

  • the stories that shaped your inner landscape

  • the beauty inside your most tender fractures

  • the quiet arrival of your own becoming

This is not a book about fixing yourself.

It is a companion for the deeper work of returning to yourself, learning to belong to your life again, and discovering the quiet power that emerges when you stop trying to heal and begin to create.

A soft, intimate guide for anyone standing at the edge of change or longing to.

Alexithymia in Relationships

Alexithymia in Relationships has become one of my most popular books, touching thousands of people who are trying to understand emotional disconnection in themselves or in someone they love.
Because so many readers asked for a practical way to apply the insights, I created a 300-page guided workbook to go with it.

Alexithymia in Relationships, Workbook offers a hands-on path to recognizing emotions in the body, communicating without pressure, repairing misunderstandings gently, and building trust step by step.
It includes short teachings, guided reflection prompts, simple practices, and creative mapping pages, a structured, compassionate space to deepen connection in everyday life.

Both books work beautifully on their own, but together they create a powerful journey from understanding to transformation.

Why People Are the Way They Are
Part of The Language Between Us series
Why People Cover.png

Why People Are the Way They Are is a small, wise, and lightly humorous book that explains human behavior with compassion. In 33 short teachings, it reveals why people overreact, shut down, repeat old patterns, avoid honesty, and struggle with emotional life, not because they are broken, but because they are human.

It is a gentle guide to understanding others with more clarity and less frustration, written with warmth, insight, and the kind of humor that makes truth easier to hear.
