Lifehack or Lose Out in Life: Introduction to the 3rd edition of my memoir & lifehacking manifesto, "How to Be Cross Eyed"

You’ve been sold sweet lies by the mainstream personal growth pop culture. That you should “just be yourself.” That you should “go with the flow” of life more.

That obsessive self-improvement feeds an inherent psychological defect somewhere in the murky depths of your being. That you should do less to get what you want.
