Let’s be honest: most self-help books either make you feel guilty for not meditating more, or broke because you don’t have time for a $22 smoothie made of stardust and chia tears.
Enter: Upgrade You by Dr. Rob Alex — the book that doesn’t want to fix you… because you’re not broken. You’re just due for an upgrade, like your phone, your laptop, or your soul when Mercury is in Gatorade.
This isn’t your average “take a deep breath and envision your dream life while ignoring the dirty dishes and existential dread” kind of read. This is real-talk with cosmic flair, a healthy dose of sass, and the kind of motivation that feels like your best friend yelling lovingly at you from across the void.
Upgrade You is like downloading the latest patch for your life software — except instead of technical jargon, you get laughter, lightbulb moments, and permission to just be a work in progress with style.
Dr. Rob Alex doesn’t preach. He doesn’t shame you for skipping the gym or eating tacos instead of tofu. What he does do is help you:
See your habits as magic tricks in disguise
Flip your mindset like a pancake, but with less mess
Build real confidence (the kind that sticks, not the kind that melts under stress like cheap mascara)
The message is simple but powerful:
Stop “fixing” yourself. You’re not broken.
Start upgrading yourself. You’re becoming.
Let’s face it — you’ve probably tried every “morning routine that will change your life,” only to end up crying in your car at 9:12am wondering if lighting incense counts as self-care.
Good news: Upgrade You doesn’t demand perfection. It invites progress.
Whether you start with cleaning out your closet or cleaning out your inner critic, every small shift adds up to a massive energy reboot.
And we’re not just talking physical energy — we’re talking metaphysical swagger:
Saying “no” like a boundary-setting badass
Laughing at your flaws instead of hiding them
Turning everyday rituals (coffee, brushing your teeth, avoiding your email) into intentional upgrades
It’s part self-help, part soul surgery — and somehow still hilarious.
This book manages to tap into deep metaphysical truths — energy, intention, personal power — without sounding like a seminar hosted by someone named Skylar Moonbeam.
It’s practical mysticism.
Grounded spiritual growth.
Alignment with WiFi.
(Okay, maybe not that last one, but who knows?)
Rob Alex teaches you how to:
Connect with your energy source (without needing to sit on a mountain or buy a crystal the size of your head)
Tune your frequency so you attract better stuff (and people who don't ghost you)
Actually enjoy the process of personal growth instead of just white-knuckling it
Upgrade You doesn’t take itself too seriously — but don’t let the humor fool you. The insights hit deep. The exercises work. And the overall vibe is something like:
“You’ve got infinite potential. Now let’s unlock it without losing your mind — or your joy.”
It’s the kind of book you’ll read with a highlighter in one hand and a margarita in the other (because balance, baby). It’s also the kind of book you’ll want to gift to that friend who keeps reading sad memes and calling it therapy.
If your life feels like a glitchy app that crashes when things get too real — Upgrade You is your reboot.
So go ahead:
Hit refresh on your mindset
Delete your inner critic's bad Yelp review
And download some divine updates to your confidence, clarity, and cosmic swagger
Because your next level isn’t somewhere far away.
It’s one simple, soulful, slightly hilarious step away.

The upgrade is optional — but staying stuck? That’s so last season.
The life of storks is full of challenges, migrations, and discoveries.
In this first installment of the Celi and Or series, you’ll discover the tender story of how these two traveling storks met for the first time, after happily returning home from a long migratory journey across other continents.
Amid graceful flights and a unique aerial dance—so typical of storks—Celi and Or fall in love and, with affection and teamwork, begin building their first nest. Day by day, they fill it with twigs, feathers, and care, dreaming of the arrival of their first family.
The story culminates in a magical moment: the first eggs resting safely in the nest, and hope beating in both their hearts as they await the hatching of their chicks.
With sweet language and plenty of fun facts about the real life of storks, this illustrated story is perfect for children aged 3 to 7, to be read together as a family or in the classroom.
In the upcoming books of the collection, you’ll discover how Celi and Or care for their chicks and, later on, how they embark together on the great adventure of migration to warmer lands when autumn arrives.
