My Books

Books I write to think through ideas I can't shake. They start as a pattern I keep seeing and want to follow all the way down, usually somewhere between science, philosophy, and the questions neither one quite answers.

    The Theory of Bubbles

    A poetic, illustrated guide to the invisible emotional layers we build in childhood to protect ourselves from pain. The book maps fifteen of these "bubbles," from rejection and shame to control, anxiety, and perfectionism, showing how each one once kept us safe and how it quietly keeps us from living fully. It does not try to fix the reader. It sits beside them, helping them recognize their own bubbles and slowly learn to breathe through them. Available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

    The Journey of the Monad

    Theosophy's oldest idea, told as a journey. The monad, the spark of consciousness that sleeps in stone and wakes in us, climbs the spiral of the kingdoms of nature one faculty at a time: structure in the mineral, sensation in the insect, memory and grief in the elephant, the first spark of self in the wolf that meets a human by the fire. Each chapter pairs a lyrical fable, where the monad lives the form from the inside, with a reflection grounded in real science. Beneath the story runs one argument: a self is crossed into being not by intelligence but by bonding, the ego is built only so that it can later be set down, and the long way home leads back to a Source that was never truly left.

    Blood Is Not Home

    A manifesto on breaking free from the family that holds you back, written for anyone who grew up carrying guilt, fear, or shame inside a home that was supposed to shelter them. Weaving philosophy, evolutionary biology, and metaphors from nature, it argues that blood isn't love, biology isn't ethics, and home isn't the place where you were born but the place where you can exist without fear.

    The Human Hypocrisy

    The heaviest book I will ever write, and my magnum opus. The idea is simple even if the work is not: to shine a light into the shadows of humanity and bring into the open everything we keep, by habit and by comfort, in the dark. I expect it to be controversial enough that it may have to wait, perhaps until after I am gone, to be published in full. For now it lives mostly as an intention: a refusal to look away.
