About The A-Street

A book you can read. A game your brain can play.
Turn any A-feeling (Anxiety, Aversion, Aggression, Apathy, Apprehension, Alienation) into A-attitudes (Acceptance, Agency, Appreciation, Attentiveness, Adaptability, Awe) — in ~90 seconds.

Read it like a story. Or play it like a 301-redirect: A → A.

What this is

  • An illustrated e-book (fixed-layout, hand-colored drawings).
  • A tiny language game that reframes problems on the spot.
  • Optional: A-Cards (printable starter deck) and a Custom GPT that runs the same “A→A” redirect.

You don’t need to “believe” in anything. You just name → redirect → act.

How it works (the 3-step A301)

  1. Name the A-feeling. (“This is Anxiety/Aversion/…”)
  2. Press A301. Map it to one or two A-attitudes (e.g., Anxiety → Acceptance + Attentiveness).
  3. Do the micro-action (≤90s) that matches the attitude. Small moves, real relief.

Tagline: Name the A. Redirect the A. In 90 seconds.

Why it works (no fluff)

  • Labels lower load. Naming a feeling reduces noise and gives you handles.
  • Constraints speed choice. Sticking to “A→A” removes endless options and rumination.
  • Micro-actions create traction. Tiny wins beat “I’ll fix my life tomorrow.”

This is brain entertainment with benefits: we invite your mind to reinterpret and activate helpful resources.

Common doubts (answered fast)

“Isn’t this too simple?”
Yes — on purpose. Complexity is where people hide. Constraint is what creates change.

“Letters? Feels gimmicky.”
The A-alphabet is a speed limit for your brain. It forces a decision and action instead of more story.

“What if my feeling isn’t an A-word?”
Map it to the nearest A (e.g., fear → Apprehension). The point is the redirect, not the perfect label.

“I’m skeptical about ‘self-help.’”
Great. Don’t adopt a belief; run a 90-second test. If your state shifts even 5%, you got ROI.

“I don’t have time.”
You have 90 seconds. That’s the whole mechanic.

“What about privacy?”
The e-book is offline. If you use the GPT, keep it general; we advise not entering private health details.

“Kids/teens?”
This is designed for adults. If used with teens, do it with a parent/teacher present and keep it playful.

“Refunds?”
Pre-order, digital goods. All sales final except where required by law.

What I can promise / What I don’t promise

Promise: a clear, repeatable reframing tool you can use anytime in under two minutes.
Promise: art that makes the concept memorable and usable.
Not a promise: therapy, diagnosis, treatment, or a cure.

How to start (60 seconds)

  1. Think of a current snag.
  2. Pick the A-feeling it sits in.
  3. Redirect to the paired A-attitude.
  4. Do the one micro-action. That’s it. Repeat as needed.
