SCREAM INTO THE FERN: A Burnout Recovery Workbook for People Who Meditate with Rage

Not all spiritual journeys involve gratitude journals and sunrise yoga. Some involve screaming silently into houseplants while your sanity unravels.

"Scream Into the Fern" is the anti-wellness wellness book for people sick of being told to manifest their best life when they're just trying to survive their current one. This 30-day workbook offers daily lessons, practices, and "guided screams" that acknowledge what other self-help books won't: sometimes life is a dumpster fire, and toxic positivity only adds to the flames.

Your companion? A silent, judgmental fern—the perfect therapist for people too tired to maintain eye contact with humans. It absorbs your carbon dioxide and complaints with equal efficiency, and unlike wellness coaches, it will never tell you to just drink more water.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • Why your introversion isn't a character flaw needing "fixed"
  • How "good vibes only" is emotional gaslighting in a motivational font
  • Why work-life balance is a myth sold by people who've never chosen between sleep and rent
  • That "everything happens for a reason" is what people say when they can't think of anything helpful
  • Why you don't need to earn rest through productivity
  • That burnout isn't your personal failing—it's a system designed to extract maximum productivity from your soul
  • Each day includes a brutally honest lesson, a practice that won't make you roll your eyes, and a guided scream to validate your reasonable frustrations with modern life.

    This book is for you if:

  • Meditation makes you compose grocery lists instead of finding inner peace
  • "Just think positive!" makes you contemplate crimes
  • Your self-care sometimes involves rage-cleaning at 2 AM
  • "Boundaries" is no longer a suggestion but a survival strategy
  • You're exhausted but not broken, with just enough energy for one silent scream daily
  • By day 30, you won't be fixed—because you were never broken. You'll just be more comfortable being imperfect in a world profiting from your insecurities.

    "Scream Into the Fern" is your permission slip: feel your feelings without filters, set boundaries without guilt, and accept that sometimes everything sucks, and that's valid.

    The fern believes in you, even when you don't.

    From Raymond Brunell, the honest voice behind "The Productivity Cult Handbook," comes another darkly humorous guide to surviving modern life with your sanity semi-intact.
