The Therapy Manifesto

A Principled Guide to Developing Your Mental Health

By Mark Derian

Therapy isn’t what you think it is, and that’s exactly the problem.

The Therapy Manifesto cuts through the confusion that plagues modern therapy. You don’t need a coach or a sympathetic ear—you need a process, one that shows you exactly what to talk about, how to talk about it, and for what purpose.

This isn’t another diatribe on discipline or mawkish narrative on the power of positivity. It’s a view on exactly what your psyche is so you can then face it like an adult who has a mortgage, regrets, and no time left for nonsense.

If therapy has ever felt vague, indulgent, or shallow, this is your way out. No fluff, no admonishment—just clarity.

Learn the foundation for your psychology with Man’s Guide to Psychology

As men, we’re bombarded by self-help advice. How to talk to girls, how to choose a purpose, how to develop the right mindset, how to “sort out our lives.”

But all of it misses the point because it’s instruction. It tells us what to do—instead, we need to be *shown* what to do.

Imagine you’re lost on a road trip, so you begin to ask people for directions, but they only tell you where to go. What would be more helpful is a map that shows you where to go and other points of interest you didn’t even know existed.

It’s no one’s fault they haven’t shown you the map because, until this book, the map of psychology hasn’t existed.

Reviews for Man’s Guide to Psychology

  • “This book has already greatly improved my understanding of myself. It is thought-provoking, helpful, simple but full of depth. It feels like I am reading a down to earth version of Eckhart Tolle. It rings clear and true, and is more of a ‘help’ book than any other self-help book I have read.”

    Paul S.

  • “The points in this book are so coherent and necessarily true that if you can’t apply these principles on your own you need to see a psychologist.”

    Gerald

  • “Despite consuming tonnes of self help or improvement content like JBP, Rogan, Jocko, Naval, Sam Harris, Headspace etc nothing has ever helped apart from a short burst of hope that quickly dissipates. But after reading this book over the weekend, I made some small positive steps for the first time in a long, long time. I will keep re reading it and become better. Thank you, Mark.”

    Ryan S.

  • “When I started reading… I didn’t expect the most elegant and accurate explanation of how our psychology operates and an unbelievably practical guide on how to take the reins of it.”

My offer

Once we manage about 80 percent of each of the four branches of our psychology, our problems will gradually diminish—health will flow naturally from a unified psychology.

Our issues may seem special, but they are all rooted in one of the four branches of psychology. Every psychological issue—from either the psychoanalytic or cognitive models—fits into my unification of man’s psychology.
