In a sea of self-help books filled with hype, hustle, and polished success stories, The Unschooled Life: Finding Grit, Grace, and Growth Beyond the System does something different. This isn't a book of theories or empty motivation. It's a raw, hopeful, and honest roadmap for people who never got the manual -- people who left school early, got hit hard by life, or feel stuck trying to build something meaningful with tools that don't seem to fit. Written in a down-to-earth Kiwi voice, this book blends real stories, brain science, daily rhythms, and faith-infused grit to help you grow -- one microshift at a time. Whether you're in a trade, between jobs, navigating mental health battles, or just sick of the same old cycles, this book offers more than inspiration. It gives you a new way forward: Daily practices that actually work, Science made simple (and useful), Stories that don't shy away from failure, A rhythm for life that lasts when motivation doesn't. The Unschooled Life is for the battlers, the rebuilders, and the quietly determined.
