Description:

Want to be healthy in an unhealthy world? Get ready to start breaking some rules. This convention-busting book explains how, equipping you with the counterintuitive skills you need to transform your body and your life for the better. Here, award-winning health journalist Pilar Gerasimo points out that in an unhealthy society like ours, becoming and staying a healthy person requires choices, habits, and attitudes so unconventional, they amount to a form of positive social deviance.After all, what kind of society makes being healthy so difficult that only a single-digit percentage of the population can pull it off? The answer: a sick society. And within a sick society--one where illness, anxiety, and depression are the prevailing norms --what does it mean to be one of the few people to beat those unhealthy odds? It means bucking a lot of your society's norms and rejecting a lot of its conventional health prescriptions. It also means acknowledging a disturbing truth: If you aren't breaking the rules, you're probably breaking yourself. That's the simple, provocative philosophy behind The Healthy Deviant, one seasoned health seeker's quest to reframe healthy choices as a positive form of social rebellion. Combining insights from sociology, psychology, evolutionary biology, functional medicine, and the school of hard knocks, this category-defying book rejects the idea that diet and exercise alone can save us--or are even the best places to start. Instead, Gerasimo's 14-day Healthy-Deviant Adventure Program presents a series of powerful perspective shifts and simple daily practices -- plus illustrations, infographics, worksheets, reminders, and progress tracking tools -- that put you firmly back in charge of your own wellbeing.Integrating two decades of journalistic research with keen cultural observation, Gerasimo explains how we can reclaim our health, happiness, and autonomy -- by refusing to play games that are rigged against us, and by breaking away from the systems that have been breaking us down.Part manifesto, part whispered wake-up call, The Healthy Deviant is a modern-day survival guide for being a healthy person in an unhealthy world.

Are you ready to start making a full-time living with your stories?

Self-publishing isn’t as hard as most authors make it.

Write. Publish. Repeat. was written to save you from unnecessary struggle.

Yes, there is a lot to learn, and more competition than ever before, but for those storytellers who are willing to do the work, then set their efforts on repeat, there’s never been a better time to make a living as a writer.

Thousands of new books are published on Amazon every single day. The vast majority will never sell more than a handful of copies.

This is devastating for hard-working authors who care about their craft and are doing all of the things they’re “supposed to do” if they want to make it as a successful author.

But it’s confusing out there, with too many things to learn and not enough time to learn them. Worse, so much of the available advice comes from people who are in the business of selling advice. They’re either parroting what others have said, are making guesses based on assumptions or anecdotal evidence, or are using their personal yet minimal experience with a successful book or perhaps even a few to articulate loose strategies that often have an absurdly short shelf-life.

This book is different.

Write. Publish. Repeat., was written by successful authors who have been in the indie game since the very beginning. In the last ten years we’ve gone from zero books to a few hundred, with copies sold in the millions, film and television projects in the works, and hands-on work with hundreds of writers like you.

We’ve also made more mistakes than we can count. But we made them so you don’t have to.

This book explains how to create stories your readers will love and will want to return to again and again. It details expert methods for enhancing creativity, building worlds, characters, and plots, understanding your market (right down to your ideal reader), using the best tools possible to capture your draft, and explains proven best practices for editing. It discusses covers, titles, formatting, pricing, and publishing to multiple platforms, plus a bit on getting your books into print (and why that might not be a good idea!).

But most importantly, Write. Publish. Repeat. details the psychology-driven marketing plan that Sean and Johnny built to shape their stories into "products" that readers couldn't help but be drawn into — thus almost automatically generating sales — and explores ways that smart, business-minded writers can do the same to future-proof their careers.

What Indie Authors and Thought Leaders Are Saying:

"Two of the best in the biz... A gem for aspiring authors."
-- Hugh Howey

"For my money, this is the best book on self-publishing out there."
-- David Gaughran

"It's tough to find more honest and straight-forward marketing advice than what you'll get from these indie authors."
-- Jane Friedman, former publisher of Writer's Digest

What Amazon readers are saying:

????? 'Best Book on Self-Publishing that I have ever read.'

????? 'It works. 'Nuff said.'

????? 'A must read for every self published author.'
