Your Honest Friend is a book on the borderline between popular psychological literature and personal self-reflective essay. It is based on the concept of optimistic nihilism. That is, accepting that life may not have an objective meaning, and yet it can be fulfilling and free.

The book aims to help readers:

• confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and the world,
• find freedom in the absence of absolute certainties,
• strengthen the ability of self-knowledge and acceptance of one's imperfection.

The text is written for the general public, but can also serve as supplementary material in psychotherapy or counseling, primarily as a stimulus for reflection and conversation.

How psychologists can get involved

• Content consultation Collaborative work on chapters, their impact and interpretation. Ensuring that the text supports healthy introspection and avoids misleading interpretations.
• Pilot testing Opportunity to offer samples to selected clients and monitor feedback. The goal is to find out how the book works in practice and what it brings to readers.
• Expert reviews Upon completion of the manuscript, expert reviews will be welcome, which can be part of the project communication and help increase its credibility.
• Copies for work with clients Psychologists involved in the collaboration will have a limited number of free copies available, intended directly for practical work.

Why collaborate

The project aims to connect the language of the ordinary reader with expert psychological knowledge. The book does not substitute therapy, but can complement it. It opens questions that can be further developed in therapeutic conversation or group work.

If you are interested in collaboration, consultation or testing, please contact me. I will appreciate any feedback and joint search for ways to bring the book closer to people who may truly need it.

This project is not commercial, so I am not offering any upfront compensation. In the case of very time-consuming serious collaboration, we can agree on a share of the book's sales.
