The Great Recalibration: The End of Depression, Fear, and Regret

Something is wrong...and you know it.

You just don't know what it is — or how to fix it.

That's where Hicks comes in. Twenty-seven years ago, after being diagnosed with a heart condition at twenty-nine, Robert Hicks went looking for answers nobody was giving him. He started with every near-death experience account he could find. Then came the rest of it — aliens, regression hypnosis, channeled material, parallel realities, psychic mediums, alternative medicine. Heck he even tried tarot cards. The entire library of subjects most people are afraid to take seriously. And buried in all of it, he found something: patterns in not just data, but in the personal accounts of others that the self-help "gurus" had missed, dismissed, or chose to ignore altogether. After years of cross-verification, with an open mind and science-based scrutiny, he assembled a single coherent framework — and decided it was too valuable to keep to himself.

The Great Recalibration is an evidence-based, common-sense guide to what's actually destroying your happiness — and how to fix it. Not regurgitated psychobabble or religious dogma. Something refreshing and new. The truth. About what you may ask? Why you're depressed. Why traditional religion stopped working for you. What actually happens when we die. Why our healthcare system is a decaying "sickcare" system. Why your "stuff" is lying to you. Why we might be in a simulation. And why help may be coming from a very unexpected source.

But this isn't just a diagnosis or some cute little foo-foo "toolkit" — it's a laser-guided missile. Not destruction for destruction's sake — demolition is just Part One. Part Two is the Recalibration, introducing you to the actual reality you live in. Part Three is the "repair crew." A set of practical, tested happiness "hacks" that pulled Hicks out of his own pit of misery. And it will do the same for you. It's built on evidence, not opinion, and the delivery is direct, conversational, and a hell of a lot funnier than you'd expect from a book about depression, fear, and regret.

Hicks holds a Master's in Psychology and is currently putting it to great use as a grill cook at Chipotle. He's lived the dream and the nightmare and survived both. The framework works — and it's about to be tested to its absolute limit during his upcoming prison sentence. Yes, prison.

If you've tried everything: therapy, meditation, religion, "experts", and a shelf full of now dusty, self-help books and none of it landed — this one might — like a sledgehammer. And if you're a skeptic? Even better. Hicks lays out the evidence, but trusts the reader to reach their own conclusions.

Because the truth was never the problem.

It's just that nobody ever had the guts to tell you what it was. Or how to fix it.
