Stefan Mihaljevic offers depth psychotherapy for high-achieving men who've hit external success but feel something essential is missing. His work centers on shadow integration and dreamwork — the stuff that optimization culture tends to skip.
The Mountain Is You
Brianna Wiest's 2020 book on the psychology of self-sabotage — arguing that the obstacles we unconsciously create mirror inner conflicts that demand confrontation rather than circumvention. Readable and practically grounded, if you're willing to take the premise seriously.
