For years, I chased success, purpose, and connection.
Yet something felt off.
No matter how hard I worked, I remained stuck, running someone else’s race with no finish line in sight. That’s when I realized: the deepest wounds aren’t the ones we see. They’re the paper cuts of self-doubt, avoidance, and denial—tiny betrayals that silently shape our choices, drain our energy, and keep us locked in cycles of frustration.
In Papercuts, we explore:
- Why the stories we tell ourselves aren’t just reflections of reality, they create it.
- How unseen mental “paper cuts” keep us stuck in self-sabotaging patterns.
- The hidden cost of chasing a life that isn’t fully ours and how to reclaim it.
- How to take back your power of choice - the most fundamental human capacity we unknowingly surrender
- A new way forward: where curiosity, self-awareness, and radical ownership lead to real freedom.
If you’ve ever felt trapped by expectations, caught in loops of doubt, or frustrated by a life that doesn’t quite fit—this book is for you. Papercuts is a wake-up call to pause, examine your invisible wounds, and rewrite the story running your life.
Because those tiny paper cuts don’t just hurt, they shape us. And when we finally face them, they reveal the clarity, strength, and presence we’ve been searching for all along.
Perfect for readers who love:
✔ The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer
✔ The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest
✔ The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* by Mark Manson
After all, the truth isn’t something we find, it’s something we choose to see.
