Shop Class is more than a book — it’s a daily practice. Each page introduces an idea designed to spark reflection and personal growth. As you read, you’re invited to ask: How do I relate to this? How can I apply it now? Am I operating at the level of theory, practice, or mastery?

Through simple but powerful prompts, Shop Class guides you toward discovering your core desires, clarifying your mission, and building the process to bring it to life.

I'll email you the PDF. Ask nicely and I'll send you a real physical workbook! Hands-on. For real.
