Does this sound familiar?

You know something's missing.
You just can't name it.

You've tried the advice, the apps, the motivational quotes. Nothing quite sticks.

◆

Stuck in routineYou feel trapped in a loop that keeps you busy but not fulfilled.

◆

Generic advice doesn't work"Think positive" sounds great. But it's not a method. It's a wish.

◆

No clarity on what mattersYou give everything to work and family — but not to the things truly non-negotiable for you.

◆

Habits don't stickBecause they're not connected to what you actually value.

The Self 1.0 Method book cover
Kindle $6.99 Paperback $12.99

A practical handbook.
Not a collection of pep talks.

Most self-help books tell you what to feel. This one gives you a tool to measure where you actually are — across every area of your life — and 17 habits to build from there.

Written by someone ordinary, for people dealing with ordinary life. No guru. No shortcuts. Just a method that works when applied.

The core tool — the Self 1.0 Scan — helps you identify the variables that are truly non-negotiable for your happiness, so you stop chasing the wrong things.

About the author
Reinaldo Hoffman Lange

"I'm not a guru or a celebrity. I'm just an ordinary man with problems, fears, and insecurities like everyone else."

That's the premise behind the Self 1.0 Method — a framework built not from a stage, but from lived experience. Reinaldo spent years refining these 17 habits before writing them down, not as prescriptions, but as practices he tested on himself first.

Written for anyone who knows something is off and wants a real tool — not another pep talk — to figure out what.

Start with clarity.
Build from there.
