THIs IS THE MAIN EVENT

Discovering the Life You Long for in the Life You Have

I'm so excited to announce the upcoming release of my new book “This Is the Main Event”, coming July 2026.

Honestly, I wrote this book for my friends. I wrote it for those who have grown old enough to have held dreams they’ve had to bury; for those who have faced disillusionment and disappointment and long for a language that leads them back from indifference to the centre of their lives.
