BookLab feature
BookLab by Bjorn selected Build a Life That Doesn't Eat You Alive as a highlight and places it among practical nonfiction picks. The highlight page says the book is for readers whose sink broke and whose calendar looks hostile, and specifically points habit-minded readers toward the book's more gallows-humor version of practical systems.
Reviewer-safe language
For now, the site links directly to live third-party review sources instead of republishing full Amazon review text. That keeps the review section clean, current, and less dependent on platform-specific reuse rules.
