Operating Your Human
A field manual for the machine you live in.
You were issued a body and a mind and no instructions. This is the manual that should have come in the box.
It treats the human as an operator seated at the controls of a machine — the body is hardware, the mind is software, and you are the one in the chair reading the gauges. Each of its 950 entries takes one part of the human experience — fear, money, time, boundaries, grief — and explains, plainly and without sentiment, how that part of the machinery actually works and what the operator can do about it.
No pep talks. No clichés. Just the mechanics of being human, described the way a good manual describes any complex equipment: clearly, honestly, and with respect for the person operating it.
