Have you noticed how “be your best self” advice usually assumes you have a staff, a sauna, and the patience of a monk? This book is for the rest of us. Uncle Bobby’s Guide to Happy Adulting is a dry‑witty, research‑fluent field manual for having more good days than bad—built from tiny moves you can do before your coffee cools.
Bobby Cochran, a gay comedian and clinical hypnotherapist, teaches the portable skills that quietly change a day: one steady breath, lighting that stops lying to your nervous system, posture that gives your lungs room, the “water first” reset when emotions surge, kindness as a strategy (not a personality), micro‑learning instead of doom‑scrolling, and a five‑minute pause ritual that saves you from your worst emails. No lecturing, no moralizing—just stories, science in plain English, and repeatable practices that travel from bus stops to boardrooms.
You’ll also get a Utility Drawer of templates, checklists, and lined pages for notes, plus narration cues if you listen on audio. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s a decent Tuesday that stacks into a life you actually like. Start small. Breathe. Drink water. Laugh at yourself. Repeat.
Of course, this book is available on Amazon and Kindle, but this is a downloadable PDF version that lets you fill out the tables and exercises on your computer or tablet. (Not recommended for phones)
