“Nathaniel’s writing is genius, as well as lighthearted.”
I have a theatre degree and ADHD and I've been coaching for 11 years, which means I'm overqualified to be weird and under qualified for everything else.
(The theatre degree is doing exactly as much as you think it's doing.)
I can coach. Put the right person in front of me and I'm sharp and funny and I see stuff other coaches miss. My problem was that I kept misreading people.
Someone would say “let me think about it” and I'd hear “no forever, and also you're bad at this, and also they're telling their friends right now.”
Someone would ask about my pricing and I'd hear “that's too much, you absolute fraud.”
Someone wouldn't reply for two days and I'd hear “it's over. You're done. Move to another state. Change your name. Grow a beard.”
(I once let a lead sit in my inbox for three weeks because I saw the message, thought “I'll respond tonight,” and then just... didn't. Three weeks later I'd convinced myself we were in a feud. We were not in a feud. They were busy. I was performing a one-man show called “Rejection: A Tragedy in Three Acts” and nobody bought a ticket.)
So I wrote books about it, and most of them borrow a movie or a TV show to make the point. Welcome to Jurassic Park is the one where your Gremlin is Nedry.
“You changed my life and I am your most grateful client.”
The Starter Library is ten of my books. They're yours for an email address.

What happened when Hakan read Pleasantville
Hakan Akbas kept posting about the book on Facebook while he read it.
“For years, I heard people throw away comments like ‘You don’t find your people. They find you.’ Nathaniel, did you have any idea you’d turn on the FLOODLIGHTS of clarity for me when you wrote Pleasantville?”
“Saw this and it hit me like a ten-ton truck.”
“Today I saw something I didn’t see or hear before. It’s starting to change and shift my relationship with failure.”
“I’ve read a few of them already and they are soooooooooooo good.”
“Your books are great. I’m not really a reader of books and I enjoyed reading the two I have.”
“WOW!!!! Guys, if you don’t have any of Nathaniel’s stuff yet, this is the bargain of the century. His stuff is not like anything I have ever studied before.”

Questions people ask
Is it free? What's the catch?
It's free. You get the library and a Wednesday email. Some emails mention my Test Drive, a free two-hour coaching session with me. Book one here. Unsubscribe whenever you like.
Which book should I read first?
The Ted Lasso Method. People tell me they loved it.
Do I have to be a coach?
The books talk to coaches, because most of the people I coach are coaches. If you help people for a living, you'll recognize yourself.
How do I get the books?
