Drawing on Aristotle’s playbook, he shows how to turn rhetoric inward: treat the “soul” as your better self, shift from past/present blame to future-tense choices, separate needs from appetites, and tune out the social “white noise” of feeds, trends, and bucket lists that distort motivation.

In an age of distraction and burnout, Heinrichs offers practical tools: the “lure and ramp” for easing into new behaviors, kairos (timing) and chaos as opportunity, analogical thinking, rhythmic mantras (paeans) to quiet negative self-talk, and strategic hyperbole, throwing beyond, to set energizing goals. The result is rhetoric reimagined as a compassionate daily practice, not for winning arguments, but for aligning with your best self and living better.
