Ever felt like you’re supposed to have all the answers? To lead. To inspire. To carry the weight of your own myth? Maybe you built something people believe in.
Or maybe you’ve just gotten really good at pretending. Either way—welcome to your God Complex.
This isn’t self-help. It’s not a parody either. It’s something stranger and smarter: a satirical, uncategorizable book about belief, leadership, algorithmic power, and the performance of divinity in modern life. God Complex for Beginners is a postmodern user manual for anyone who’s created something bigger than themselves—and then quietly wondered what it’s costing them. Equal parts cosmic philosophy, startup gospel, and poetic breakdown, it’s what happens when Nietzsche meets UX design—with a side of AI ethics and immaculate branding. Written for the modern deity-in-crisis—founders, leaders, influencers, visionaries—this book explores what happens when belief becomes branding, followers become an algorithm, and your own creation stops asking permission.

A thoughtful and visually rich journey into one of history’s most secret institutions.
