About The Book "Release. Return. Reside."

ABOUT THE BOOK

Millions of people are quietly burning out—not because they’re weak, but because they’re over-everything: overthinking, overgiving, overfunctioning just to feel "enough."

Release. Return. Reside. introduces the 3R Principle, a gentle and practical framework to help you let go of what drains you, reconnect with your own truth, and finally feel safe living as yourself.

~ Doctor Stik ~

You don’t need to push harder. You need space to heal.

This is your invitation to stop performing, proving, and people-pleasing—and start living with honesty, confidence, and ease. Through 15 transformative chapters across 3 grounded parts in this book, you’ll learn how to:

  • Break the emotional survival loops that keep you stuck in burnout and self-doubt
  • Reconnect with your body, intuition, and quiet inner strength
  • Move from emotional exhaustion to clarity, peace, and self-trust


This is more than a book. It’s a return to yourself.

WHAT EALY REVIEWER SAY ABOUT US?

Early Testimonies

"This book felt like someone finally put words to everything I’ve been carrying for years. I didn’t even realize how much I was living in survival mode until I saw myself on every page. The 3R Principle gave me a way to breathe again—literally. I started saying no without guilt and resting without shame. My kids get a calmer version of me now, and I feel like I’m coming home to myself."

Sarah38, Burned-Out Working Mom

"I’ve read dozens of self-help books, but this one hit differently. It didn’t feel preachy or abstract. It felt real. As someone who's spent years in high-stress leadership roles, I didn't realize how much I was over-functioning just to feel 'enough.' This book helped me recognize the emotional loops I was trapped in—and gave me practical tools to get out. It’s not just a book; it’s a reset button."

Marcus44, Corporate Executive

"I picked up this book during a really messy time in my life. I was lost after a breakup, stuck in self-doubt, and trying to please everyone but myself. Doctor Stik’s words felt like a friend sitting next to me saying, 'You’re not crazy, you’re just exhausted.' The gentle questions and practices helped me feel safe in my own body again. I’m not 'healed,' but I finally feel like I’m healing."

Nhi26, Recently Heartbroken and Rebuilding

"Even as someone who teaches mindfulness, I didn’t realize I was still performing for love in subtle ways. This book opened my eyes to emotional loops I thought I’d already worked through. I’ve started integrating the 3R Principle into my daily practice—and even into my classes. The coloring pages are a beautiful addition too. It’s medicine for the soul, disguised as a gentle book."
