Why this book exists
"You sat in that chair for the first time and nobody handed you a manual. The machine beeped. The nurse adjusted the numbers. And somewhere in that moment — you realized: nobody has actually explained any of this to me."
You were told what to avoid — never why
You were handed restrictions — never solutions
You were given a machine — never a guide
This book changes that.
