Assume The Position

Stop Drowning in Your Own Bullshit: A No-Nonsense Guide to Anxiety Relief.

Life is going to fuck you. It's inevitable. You work the twelve-hour shifts, you pay the bills, and you still feel like you're losing. Whether it's an unfriendly boss, mounting debt, or a strained relationship, the struggles of the daily grind are real—but you are likely making them ten times worse by adding "imaginary bullshit" on top.

In this raw and practical guide to stress management, Jack Kelly reveals that your brain is running 200,000-year-old Stone Age software designed to spot tigers in the grass. Today, that same oversensitive smoke detector is firing off "false alarms" for every vague email and bank notification, leaving you exhausted and stuck in a catastrophe cascade.

It's time to get lucky. This isn't about "positive thinking" or becoming a doormat. It's about catching a break from your own catastrophizing brain.

More than just words, this book is a tactical manual for real life. Assume the Position delivers CBT-based exercises and DBT crisis skills translated into a dialect anyone can use to find immediate relief:

•The Four Laws: A proven system to catch the catastrophe and interrupt the spiral before it ruins your day.
•The Position Menu: Easy, pre-written "benign explanations" for common triggers like rude customers or low bank balances.
•The 30-Day Challenge: A step-by-step habit-building guide to rewire your neural pathways and make calm your new default.
•

Practical CBT Thought Records: Evidence-based tools to help you separate facts from stories and reduce unnecessary suffering.

You won't be "fixed." Your back will still ache. But you will learn the mental health skills to handle the storm differently.

Stop suffering twice. It's time to Assume the Position.
