EFIKAZES
100% self-help-free

This is not a self-help book.
It's a kick in the groin.

We live measuring, planning, controlling and squeezing every part of our lives to be more efficient. And without noticing, we lose what really matters.

The manifesto

You've read every book on productivity. Time to send them all to hell.

01

No filters

Uncomfortable truths about how the obsession with self-improvement disconnects us from what matters.

02

No bullshit

Zero empty phrases, zero posturing, zero miracle formulas, zero nonsense.

03

With direction

To stop living on autopilot and start choosing what truly moves you.

04

For humans

More humanity, less algorithm. Less productivity. More you.

A funny, uncomfortable, deeply human critique of our obsession with optimizing absolutely everything.
Alex Mirones, author of EFIKAZES
Behind the book

Hi, I'm Alex.

After more than twenty years working with people, teams and leaders at organizations like Bosch/BSH and Allianz, I've seen up close how easy it is to mistake moving forward for running faster.

EFIKAZES was born from personal stories, biting humor, pop references, and one pretty uncomfortable question: what if all this optimizing is pulling us away from what really matters?
