Running with Llamas

A calm, evidence-informed guide to building a better life at your own pace.

By Martina. Otis, a llama, is the guide. He is a character in the book. He is not a clinician, and he is not in a hurry.

The book is general education. It is not medical advice, not psychological advice, and not a diagnosis. It does not promise that you will feel better, sleep better, or become well. Nothing on this page is a buy button. There is no price, because the book is not on sale here yet.

How it is built

Each chapter has one practice and a rating. Strong means trials or a major guideline agree, and it is still not magic. Moderate means a real base with limits. Weak means the claim is easy to overstate. The animal in the title is a llama, with two L's.

A week a chapter is a kind pace in the book's own words. Faster is fine if it stays kind. Read one chapter and do its practice before the next.
