A Comprehensive Breakdown – A deeply personal account of walking away from a 25-year creative career and finding clarity alone in the French Alps.

After a late autism diagnosis and creative burnout, Peak Afflatus walked over 600 km across the French Alps in search of meaning beyond work, identity, and survival. A Comprehensive Breakdown blends memoir and observation to explore collapse, solitude, and recovery with lucid honesty and lyrical precision.
