You Came for the Mountains. Most Days You Only See Them From the Car.
52 Weeks to Self-Reliance — for people ready to live closer to the land again.
You moved here for the trees and the water, and somehow ended up stuck in traffic looking at them through a windshield, coffee in hand, running behind on a Tuesday that feels exactly like every other Tuesday. The outdoors is the whole reason you're here, and it's become the thing you have the least time for.
This book won't hand you a finished life. It hands you one clear, deliberate decision a week, in the right order, for a full year — the same decisions that took me from a business collapse and deep debt to debt-free, on a hundred acres of forest, in a cabin I built with my own hands.
52 Weeks to Self-Reliance: One Year of Deliberate Decisions to Take Back Your Time, Money, and Freedom asks for one thing a week, in the right order, for a full year. Fifty-two assignments. None of them require land you don't have yet, money you don't have yet, or a resignation letter on day one.
Seven Parts. Fifty-Two Weeks.
About Shawn James
Shawn James spent years building and running a commercial roofing company before it collapsed, leaving him deep in debt. He rebuilt from there, one deliberate decision at a time, and today he and his wife own more than a hundred acres of forest in the Canadian wilderness, debt-free, in a log cabin he built by hand. He shares that life at My Self Reliance.
