"For the generation that normalized therapy but still feels empty"
In an age when everyone is selling enlightenment and manifestation, what does it actually mean to become a modern hero?
Everyone wants to grow. But nobody wants to dig. That's the truth the manifestation crowd buries. Why? Because it doesn't sell.
Like a tree, you can't grow tall without roots... and roots grow in the dark depths of the soil. Real growth happens in the darkness you've been avoiding.
This brutally honest guide takes you into those depths - where you'll find everything the scripts buried: your authentic self, your true values, and the purpose and meaning that emerge from them.
From humiliating reality TV disasters and prizefighting with the Australian carnival, to UFO encounters in Mexican jungles and energy vortexes in the Arizona desert, Lee discovered that genuine transformation happens in the places we least want to look. The shadow. The mess. The parts of yourself you've been taught to hide.
This is the guide he wishes someone had handed him in his twenties - when he was lost, living by everyone else's rules, and didn't even know that the answers were buried in the very darkness he was running from. Part memoir, part roadmap, Lee shares both the map and the mess of what real inner work looks like.
Drawing from ancient seafaring wisdom, he introduces "LeeWay" - the extra space sailors needed when winds pushed them sideways. You need that same space when life pushes you off course. Through his stumbling path, he offers a refreshingly honest psycho-spiritual lens - one grounded in psychology and ancient wisdom, but always filtered through lived experience and British skepticism.
The Journey This Book Maps
(Through embarrassing stories, weird experiences, and actual shadow work):
-
Digging Deep - Into the shadows you've been avoiding
- Embracing Your Ego - Work with your inner critic instead of against it
- Breaking Free - From scripts you never chose
- Meeting Your Self - the authentic you beneath everyone else's expectations
- Uncovering Your Real Values - What actually matters to YOU, not what you've been told should matter
- Making Values-Based Decisions - from YOUR truth
-
Finding Purpose & Meaning - What naturally emerges when you live from your values
- Serving - Contributing from wholeness, not performance
How The Two Books Work Together:
Book One (Leeway) takes you on the journey into the depths - sharing the map and the mess of what real inner work looks like. Through ridiculous stories and spectacular failures, you'll see that transformation isn't pretty, but it's worth it.
Book Two (Becoming A Modern Hero) gives you the actual tools for digging. Because Lee finally admitted what every self-help junkie knows: we've been eating the menu instead of the meal. This is the meal - the practical exercises and techniques that help you digest transformation into real change.
This Guide Is For You If:
- You sense there's something deeper holding you back (but every other book just gives you surface strategies)
- You're ready to stop consuming wisdom and start digesting it into real change
- You know that real growth means facing parts of yourself you've been avoiding
- You're done choosing between deep spiritual work OR practical action
- You want a guide who admits he's still in the depths himself sometimes
Fair Warning:
This isn't about positive thinking your way to success. It's about going into your darkness with a flashlight and a sense of humor. Contains British humor, interdimensional weirdness, uncomfortable self-reflection, and repeated admissions that the author still struggles with his own teachings.
Side effects include: Recognizing you're both more broken and more whole than you thought, finding strength in the places you felt weakest, and the humbling realization that the journey down is the journey up.
The tree that grows tallest has the deepest roots. The question is: are you ready to dig?
