What customers say

Ben United States

Sports Fan Therapy is laugh-out-loud funny and unexpectedly profound. What starts as a playful idea—therapy through sports—quickly turns into a sharp exploration of hope, loss, identity, and meaning. The dialogue is witty and familiar to any lifelong fan, but the questions at the end of each session invite real reflection that goes far beyond sports. I found myself laughing on one page and genuinely introspective on the next.

Michael Dempsey United States

This book brilliantly uses sports fandom as a doorway into deeper psychological and existential themes. By framing anxiety, grief, jealousy, belief, and even death through the language of sports, Sports Fan Therapy makes heavy topics approachable and relatable. The structure of imagined therapy sessions followed by reflective questions makes it ideal for personal journaling or group discussion. It’s rare to find a book that is both entertaining and genuinely therapeutic.

Danny Landberg United States

You don’t have to be a diehard sports fan to appreciate this book—but if you are, it will feel like it was written for you. Sports Fan Therapy captures the emotional rollercoaster of fandom while revealing how deeply sports are woven into our sense of belonging and purpose. The questions encourage readers to examine why sports matter so much and what they reveal about our values and fears. This book turns fandom into self-understanding.
