how it works

Read it. Try it. Do it today.

  1. I read the book

    I read it and write down what it actually says, in plain words, with a short quote only when it earns its place.

  2. I try what I can

    When I have used an idea myself, I tell you what happened. When I haven't, I say so. No made-up results.

  3. You do it today

    Every guide ends with a few small steps. Print the page, pick one step, and start before tonight.

The books, on video.

Each guide comes from a video. Short ones for a quick idea, longer ones on YouTube when a book needs the time.
