Dont sell the sun to buy a candle

There's an old proverb: "Don't sell the sun to buy a candle." The sun costs nothing and gives light for free, every day, for life. A candle is small and burns out in hours — yet it's shockingly easy to trade the first for the second without noticing.

This short ebook is about catching that trade before you make it. Across 7 chapters, you'll learn how to spot the difference between a "sun" (health, relationships, integrity, savings, peace of mind) and a "candle" (short-term relief, convenience, quick fixes) — and how to stop quietly trading one for the other.

Inside:

What actually counts as a "sun" in your life

Why the trade always feels small in the moment

The psychology of why we do it anyway

A simple test to run before every trade

How to buy candles with the right currency

A 2-minute daily practice to protect what matters most
