Burn Your Self-Help Books. Fire Your Life Coach. Ditch The Meditation Apps.
Seriously?
Yeah. Kinda.
If you’re here to shut your brain up and actually feel alive again, none of that stuff’s gonna cut it.
Meditation? Didn’t work for me.
Self-help books? Forget about it.
Life coaches? Well… let’s just say that story ends with me barely dodging a cult.

When Gayla first found me, she was drowning in meditation techniques. “Better than meditation?” she said. “No way.” She thought I was full of it.
But then she tried it.
A few weeks later, I got a message that basically said: “Holy shit, this works.”
That’s why I say…
Burn Your Self-Help Books. Fire Your Life Coach. Ditch The Meditation Apps.
Not because those things are evil — okay, some life coaches definitely are — but because you don’t need them.
How I Escaped Mind Control and Mushroom-Induced Manipulation
Back in 2020, I was knee-deep in some weird shit.
I’d hired a couple of life coaches who seemed legit.
They pitched a “healing” mushroom ceremony.
Said it would “change everything.”
And boy, did it.
Just not the way I expected.
Halfway through the trip, they told me I’d killed 20 million people in a past life.
Yeah. Twenty million.
According to them, 2 million were guilty, so no biggie.
But the other 18 million?
Innocent.
Which meant I had “18 million karmic blocks” shackling my power.
They told me I was arrogant.
Said I needed to stop reading books.
To quit asking questions.
To ditch my friends.
When I called them out on their bullshit?
Gaslighting.
“You’re just projecting, John.”
Look, I don’t need a Ph.D. to tell me that’s some next-level manipulation.
But here’s the kicker — none of the self-help tools I’d relied on saved me.
Meditation? Useless.
Self-help books? Dead weight.
And the life coaches? Well, they were the problem.

The Real Secret? Feeling.
This mess could’ve trapped me for decades.
But it didn’t.
I was out in three months.
How?
I didn’t think my way out.
I felt my way out.
I used the nervous system tools I teach inside Rageheart.
That’s when the rage hit — hot and pure, like a fire I didn’t know I’d been carrying.
That rage was my body saying, “This is not okay. Get the hell out.”
And I did.
Why Rageheart Works (When Nothing Else Does)
Here’s the thing about cults — or any manipulative system:
First, they convince you that who you are isn’t enough.
Then, they strip away your identity and replace it with their own.
The lucky ones figure it out after a decade or two.
The unlucky ones?
Well… they don’t figure it out at all.
But with the nervous system tools I found?
It took me three months.
It’s not about breathing exercises, meditation or gratitude journals.
It’s about feeling.
The stuff you’ve spent years running from?
Yeah, that’s the stuff.
And when you stop running and finally feel it?
Everything changes.
This Is What Happens When You Stop Running
Get your nervous system humming, and everything else clicks into place:
- You fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up with actual energy
- With that energy comes sharper focus, better discipline, and real motivation
- You make decisions like someone who actually knows what the hell they want
- You stop living for adrenaline spikes and start feeling alive, even during the mundane moments
- And the noise in your head? It finally shuts the hell up

Who the Hell is John Wood?

I’m the guy behind Rageheart.
Born in Sydney.
Now kicking around Peru, doing plant medicine and dodging bad life advice.
I’ve quit coffee, sugar, porn, and meditation.
I’ve got a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a guitar I barely play, and a soft spot for motorcycles.
But mostly?
I’m obsessed with one thing — helping you stop running from yourself.
This isn’t just another self-help program.
It’s a way of life.
