Alek Martin — The Loss of Self
The Book
The Loss
of Self.
Coming 2026
A book about losing yourself completely — and what it actually takes to find your way back.

Not a self-help book. Not a memoir. Something in between — the honest account of a life that went to the absolute edge, and the understanding that only comes when you stop running from it.

This book is for the person who is functioning on the outside and quietly dissolving on the inside. The person who has read everything and tried everything and still wakes up feeling like they are living someone else's life.

You are not broken. You are living a story that was never yours to begin with.

I started writing this because I needed it to exist. Because the book I needed when I was at my worst didn't exist. This is that book.

About the book
The Loss of Self

Non-fiction · Personal development · Trauma · Identity

From severe childhood neglect to self-made millionaire. From millionaire to HIV, bankruptcy and seven years without a home. From rock bottom — twice — to finally understanding the pattern that ran underneath all of it.

This is not a story about what happened to me. It is a story about why — and what that why means for you.

Currently being sent to literary agents. Publication date to be confirmed.
