Description
Escaping the Self Help Reef is a clear eyed, mythic, and deeply honest exploration of why so much personal development feels powerful in the moment yet collapses in real life. Martin Rothery exposes the structural traps of the "reef" - the shallow waters of quick wins, big stage inspiration, and dopamine driven breakthroughs - and contrasts them with the true deep work required for lasting change.
