The River of Poo

A Guide to Motivation, Happiness, Success & Resilience

Life doesn’t gently challenge you — it dumps you straight into the river.

The River of Poo is a practical, honest, and surprisingly funny guide to motivation, happiness, and resilience when life gets messy.

⭐ 93 Amazon reviews • 4.5 out of 5 stars
Readers describe it as “surprisingly practical,” “refreshingly honest,” and “a self-help book that actually makes sense.”

This isn’t a book about thinking positive or pretending everything is fine.
It’s about learning how to stay afloat, regain momentum, and move forward even when things aren’t going your way.

With simple, memorable ideas and a grounded tone, this book helps you stop fighting reality and start working with it.

In this book, you’ll learn how to:

• Rebuild motivation when you feel stuck, drained, or overwhelmed

• Stay emotionally steady during stress, setbacks, and uncertainty

• Develop real resilience without toxic positivity

• Let go of self-blame and unrealistic expectations

• Make progress even when life feels chaotic

Why the unusual title?

Because life isn’t neat.
And the advice that actually helps shouldn’t pretend it is.

The River of Poo uses humour, clarity, and real-world psychology to make difficult ideas easy to remember — and easy to apply when you need them most.

Who this book is for:

• Anyone tired of fluffy self-help clichés

• People feeling burnt out, unmotivated, or emotionally stretched

• Readers who want honesty, practicality, and a bit of humour

• Those who want to feel better without being told to “just be grateful”

Available formats:

• Ebook – quick, accessible, and easy to revisit

• Paperback – ideal for reflection and note-taking

• Audiobook (UK/US) – narrated in clear, natural English using AI, designed for calm, focused listening during walks, commutes, or downtime

If life feels messier than it used to, you’re not broken.
You’re human.

The River of Poo is a guide for that part of the journey.
