_{Hello friends! My name is Max Daniels and I’m a life coach and a writer. I wrote a short and salty book about the easy way to quit overeating and binging. I write here about all manner of life improvement. And I have a monthly column about self-care over at Modern Daily Knitting.}

_{Please get in touch if you’re looking for coaching. You can also ask me a question.}

Short one this week.

Because it is my birthday! (Cancer sun, Cancer moon, Leo rising.) I am approximately 600 years old and goin pretty good. I have a ton of teeth. (I do not have Leo hair.) I am walking 5-10 miles a day up and down hills. And I can deadlift my body weight (and then some) which means that if I fall down I can get my own self back up again. #goals

So anyway I’m kind of taking the week off. (And I’ll take another in two weeks when I do a self-guided retreat—at a spa. It’s gonna be so good; I will tell you more later.)

But first, enough of you wanted a book club, so we will do that in September. If you are eager to get started, we will be reading, as promised, Robert Fritz’s The Path of Least Resistance.

Details to follow.

RECOMMENDING.

writing.

Writing about reading! Over at Modern Daily Knitting, Shelf-Care: Love, destiny and our heart’s true joy, These are my recommendations for the beach, or wherever your recreational reading takes you, perhaps to the nearest couch. Promised: surprise, delight, true love.

In this short piece, I recommend every novel Anna Dorn has ever written. Today, Anna published recommendations of her own: Ten Weird Girl Beach Reads. (In front of the paywall.)

How could I love anything Anna loves as much as what Anna herself writes? Impossible! I will try her recs tho, especially if you second any of her motions.

Do you need more to read? Perhaps something about how to demolish chaotic eating??

Guess who wrote a really good really short EXTREMELY KIND book about that? Yes, it me and if I do say so myself, this book and the method I describe WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.

If you are struggling with your eating, whether it’s binge eating or compulsive eating or chaotic eating or dieting or maybe you find yourself against all odds not wanting to eat enough, read this book. I can just about guarantee you will find the support you seek within.

Okay, then! xoxo and see you soon.
