Synopsis
A self-help story executed poorly.
Alex Breisburg didn't see it coming. He never does — the diagnosis came thirty years too late to help him read a room. Now he's forty-three, recently fired, and working through a self-help book that was never written for a mind like his. The advice is reasonable. The results are not.
Happiness Unintentional is a debut literary noir about a late-diagnosed AuDHD man navigating a world that handed him the wrong instruction manual. Told in close third person with dark wit and clinical precision, the novel follows Alex as he attempts — and catastrophically misapplies — the kind of self-improvement advice that works for everyone else. By the time he understands what he's become, he's lost whole days to the bottle, is missing memories he doesn't trust, and has done something he can't undo. There is no clean ending waiting for him. There is only the next person willing to explain, patiently, exactly what he owes.
