A USER'S MANUAL FOR LIFE

The book is a collection of one hundred and thirty-five short essays, grouped into six thematic sections: business, coaching and healing practice, success, the "positive thinking" and self-development industry, everyday life, and personal growth. Each text is a page or two long and structured as a standalone maxim with its own argumentation: on delegation, pricing, handling objections, relationships with money, emigration, raising children, choosing mentors, and respecting the opinions of others. The book can be read sequentially or from any point—the sections and individual essays are not strictly connected.

The text is written in a distinctly direct, polemical manner, with sharp language and the author's signature style, which is specifically stated in the disclaimer. The book is intended for readers prepared for a categorical presentation and who prefer a concise format to extensive theoretical analysis. It draws on the author's personal observations as a practicing hypnotherapist and entrepreneur, as well as her experience working with students in professional training.
