Many people feel overwhelmed today: too many options, too much uncertainty, not enough clarity. Reclaim Your Agency shows that this is not a personal failure but a structural effect of complexity. The book helps you understand your situation differently and take clear, manageable steps to regain control.
Most advice relies on motivation and willpower. That works poorly in complex systems. Reclaim Your Agency instead uses a system-oriented approach: a clear situational picture, simple rules, and a 30-day framework that works in real life — not just in theory.
No. Everything is explained clearly and applied directly to everyday situations. You learn step by step how to recognize overwhelm, identify real options, and make decisions that fit your context and goals — without jargon.
Most readers notice improvements after a few days: more clarity, less stress, and a stronger sense of agency. The 30-day framework guides you through a focused decision-making process that has immediate impact.
The book is the starting point. From there you can join the RYA community, attend online trainings and webinars, and access deeper tools for strategy, resilience, and decision-making. You decide how far you want to go.
Both. The core ideas are system-oriented and work in private life, in your career, and in leadership roles. Many examples come from real projects with teams and organisations, but the patterns are simple enough to use for personal decisions as well.
Yes. The 30-day framework and the simple-rule approach work very well in pairs and teams. You can use the questions, canvases, and exercises in the book to create a shared picture of your situation and to agree on a few clear rules for how you want to act together.
The book follows a clear arc: first, you build a realistic picture of your situation. Then you identify adjacent possibilities instead of idealised end states. From there you develop simple rules and a 30-day experiment, and finally you learn how to review, adjust, and make this way of working a habit.
You do not need special tools or software. A notebook, a calendar, and the willingness to observe your own patterns are enough. The book gives you questions, structures, and examples you can use immediately in your daily life and work.
