Who Is This For?
Overthinkers and recovering perfectionists, managers and makers, students and caregivers—anyone with a fast mind who wants gentle, evidence-leaning tools to feel calmer, choose clearly, and do what matters.
What Will I Learn?
A compact set of repeatable moves that interrupt mental spin, anchor you back in your body, focus your attention, and turn tiny honest actions into visible progress—so you can show up on purpose all day, in work and life, without burning out.
Tell Me About The Author
Edward S. Lewis writes the BEING series—short, practical guides for people whose minds won’t stop. His work turns micro-habits and nervous-system basics into tools you can use today: the Now Minute, Two Check-Ins, and the One-Line Proof. He cares about proof over perfect and presence over hustle. A recovering overachiever and overthinking perfectionist, he builds tools that are evidence-based and work in real life.
Where Do I Start?
Start with the 48-Hour Presence Primer—two short emails that walk you through the Now Minute, AM/PM check-ins, and the One-Line Proof. Expect ~10–15 minutes total. You’ll feel a small win the first day and know if the book is for you.
