Are you tired of just surviving and ready to start truly living?

The Patient’s Handbook is not written by a doctor, therapist, or guru—it’s written by someone just like you. Diagnosed with bipolar I, PTSD, ADHD, and having walked through psychosis and despair, Anthony Jacob Braaten offers this compassionate and down-to-earth guide as a lifeline for anyone eager to reclaim their joy, peace, and purpose.

This empowering self-help starter’s guide presents twelve transformative life skills—Willpower, Love, Gratitude, Forgiveness, Kindness, Exploration, Adaptation, Limitation, Expression, Creativity, Contribution, and Passion—each presented in a raw, honest, and hopeful voice. Braaten speaks patient-to-patient and human-to-human, blending storytelling, reflection prompts, encouragement, and actionable tools that help you build these skills like muscles—through daily practice, mindfulness, and intention.

Whether you’re facing mental illness, emotional burnout, or just feeling lost, The Patient’s Handbook 1 is a friend in your hands. It encourages writing, doodling, underlining, and full-on emotional engagement. This isn’t just a book—it’s a mirror, a journal, and a motivational coach all in one.

Start where you are. Try again. Fall forward. Become the champion you were born to be.
