# an amateur's guide to staying alive

Scottee's *An Amateur's Guide to Staying Alive* was published by Piatkus Books in 2027 and is shelved under Health & Fitness. The publisher notes that we live under constant pressure to do, improve and optimise, and that wellness has become aspirational yet commodified, so the quest to be well can come at a personal cost.

Scottee starts from that unease and questions a culture that urges us to do more and chase being well, often at real expense to ourselves. It will suit readers who feel worn down by self-improvement treated as a full-time job and who want a frank look at why it feels so relentless.
