Renata Forge

Turning chaos into a lever to shift your life.

Somewhere between eighth and ninth grade, Renata learned a lesson most people spend a lifetime trying to avoid: nobody was coming to fix it for her. So she stopped waiting for things to get better on their own, and did something else instead — she took the most troublesome chaos apart and wrestled order into it herself. It's the same instinct the whole book runs on. She was just field-testing it a few decades earlier than she realized.She spent the next fifty-five years running the same test, job after job, mess after mess, refining it every time something broke. This book is the culmination of that lifelong fieldwork.
