You know exactly what's wrong with you.

You can trace your people-pleasing back to childhood. You understand your attachment style. You know your triggers, your patterns, your defense mechanisms. You've been to therapy-maybe for years. You've read the books. You can diagnose yourself with unsettling accuracy.

And yet here you are. Still doing the thing you swore you'd stop doing. Still stuck in patterns you can describe in clinical detail. Still unable to implement the solutions you know would work.

If you're tired of collecting insights that don't translate to change, this book is for you.

This is not another book telling you to just take action. This is not another book suggesting that one more breakthrough will finally set you free. This is a book that confronts the most frustrating psychological trap that exists: the insight-action gap.

You're stuck because insight feels like progress. Because your brain rewards understanding the same way it rewards doing. Because analysis is safer than vulnerability. Because thinking is easier than trying. Because as long as you're still figuring yourself out, you don't have to risk the discomfort of actually changing.

The uncomfortable truth? You don't need more insight. You're drowning in insight. You need to understand why insight alone isn't enough, and what to do about the gap between knowing and doing.

Written for therapy-literate people who are good at self-awareness but stuck in their actual lives, this book explores:

- Why insight creates the illusion of progress without requiring real change
