Don't buy your 2027 planner yet. First, ask yourself whether you're planning a life you actually want.
You Already Know: Twelve Immortal Conversations About Being Human is a thought-provoking collection of twelve modern fables inspired by Greek mythology, exploring identity, ambition, fear, self-trust and the consequences of choosing the life you want.
What if Hestia challenged you to remember who you are beneath everyone else's expectations? What if Artemis led you into the wilderness of your own decisions? What if the Oracle at Delphi confronted you with the truth you've been avoiding?
As it turns out, immortality doesn't make you any better at being human. But the gods have a few things to say about the lives we lead, the choices we make, and our rather unfortunate habit of getting in our own way.
Who are you when you strip away what other people expect of you?
What do you actually want, and what might choosing it cost?
How do you keep moving forward when life doesn't turn out as planned?
This is a book you can return to, year after year.
At the end of each fable, you'll find questions to take with you. Answer them in a journal, discuss them with someone you love, or simply let them sit with you for a while.
Return to those same questions next year, and the year after that. Notice which answers have changed, which dreams you've outgrown, and which truths you've finally found the courage to act upon.
Because the person you are today won't be quite the same person reading this book five years from now.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
Greek mythology with a modern, philosophical twist
Thought-provoking fiction, self-reflection and intentional living
Books such as Meditations and The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
You don't have to reinvent yourself to begin a new chapter. Sometimes, you simply need to understand the one you're already living.
★★★★★ "It's really cool ... I like the little prompts in this that you can pick up and run with. Love it." ★★★★★ "I love Orpheus' Error so much."
You Already Know is a non-fiction book designed to be returned to again and again as your life evolves. A conversation that means one thing at twenty-five may reveal something entirely different at thirty-five.
Special Edition shipping 🌏
Unlike my hand-signed paperbacks, my Special Edition Collector's hardbacks are printed and fulfilled by BookVault, which has fulfilment locations in multiple countries.
That means your beautiful book doesn't necessarily have to travel all the way from my little corner of Middle Earth to reach you. BookVault will fulfil your order as close to home as possible, helping to keep those international shipping costs much more reasonable.
It does mean these editions won't arrive hand-signed by me, because I never physically get my hands on them before they make their way to you. Instead, I've poured all that special-edition love into the books themselves: premium materials, beautiful finishes and collector-worthy details designed to make them feel like something you'll want to keep forever.
