Artemis Ellis writes practical books for people who are tired of workplace theater and ready for clarity. Her work focuses on the invisible mechanics that shape behavior—how systems create outcomes, why “communication problems” aren’t what they seem, and what actually changes results without burning people out.
You Are Not Confused is a sharp, unsentimental dismantling of modern self-help culture—from over-therapizing normal discomfort to treating avoidance as wisdom and indecision as depth.
In Tipping the Scales, Artemis Ellis examines what organizations quietly lose when efficiency is optimized without accountability, and when judgment is treated as a “soft skill” rather than a hard constraint.
Trying to Relax Has Been Exhausting: Manifesting Pura Vida Meets Hygge Without Making Your Life Feel Like Homework is a warm, funny, practical guide to building real-life calm through tiny rituals, better boundaries, and “Signal” (manifestation with receipts) so you can create a life that feels good—on purpose.
Burnout Isn’t a Mission Statement is your no-fluff guide to naming the load, protecting your capacity, and choosing meaning without martyrdom—because a “why” that hurts you isn’t a why worth keeping.

A Chat Message Is Not a Comms Plan — Stop mistaking pings for clarity and build communication that actually moves work forward—without more meetings, chaos, or context loss.

Causality is Not A Vibe — If your fixes never stick, it’s because you’re treating symptoms like causes—learn how to trace what’s really driving the mess and change the system, not the story.
If Everything Is a Priority, Nothing Is — A blunt, usable approach to tradeoffs that cuts through overloaded roadmaps and helps leaders pick fewer things—and actually finish them.
Creative Abrasion Is Not a Strategy — Conflict isn’t innovation—replace “let them fight it out” with healthier friction, clearer decisions, and progress that doesn’t cost your culture.
Resilience is Not “Suck it Up” — Real resilience isn’t endurance theater; it’s building conditions where people can recover, adapt, and keep delivering without breaking.
