Project Rat Race is a collection of short reflections designed to help you pause and think about what you’re really optimising for. The book explores four areas that quietly shape our lives over time — time, money, health, and relationships — not as rules or answers, but as prompts: ideas worth returning to. This isn’t a book to rush through. It’s one to dip into, revisit, and sit with — creating moments of clarity that compound into something more meaningful. This book is free. It was written as a personal passion project, not a commercial one. If it resonates and you’d like to support the work, you’re welcome to — but there’s absolutely no expectation. Designing a life you don’t need to escape from. Inside the book:— Short, standalone reflections— Organised around time, money, health, and relationships— Designed to be read slowly, in any order
