The Simplest Book I've written about Autonomics

We have just released the simplest book I’ve yet written about Autonomics, Autonomic Compass.

One of the hardest things to do is write about something complex in ways that are simple.

In Autonomic Compass, I think we’ve done it. A plain language book, in non-technical language, that explains living autonomic physiology through a set of metaphors drawn from the Living World.

I’m hoping that with this book we can reach, and help educate people who have zero specialist knowledge or particular interest in the autonomic nervous system.

Because sadly, despite the fact that it is the biological system with the strongest shaping force on your moment-to-moment experience of wellbeing, almost nobody outside of specialist circles understands autonomic physiology.

Of course, the Vagus is having its moment on Tiktok. But the average person encountering these videos has no context for understanding the autonomic nervous system as a system. And the mainstream conception of what the Vagus is, or what is does? Well…largely inaccurate, because orthodox neurology really gets it wrong about this stuff.

Autonomic Compass is a 150 pages of foundation in the Autonomic Nervous System. What it is, why it is important, how it works, and how to work with it.

Taught through the language of geology, trees, water, light, and other concepts with which people are already familiar.

Because autonomic physiology is about what it means to be human, and to wear a human body. And if you are wearing a human body you should be able to understand it.
