Reading Experience
At 26,316 words across roughly 105 pages, this one runs about 2.2 hours of reading time. Long enough to dig into its subject properly, short enough that it does not lose you along the way. For essays & reflections, this length tends to work well — room to develop ideas without padding.
About the Author
How to Sit with Discomfort comes from 2021, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 24 and still producing essays & reflections work with no clear path to publication. The essay collections capture thinking in progress — less polished than the fiction, more honest, and often more revealing about the author behind the catalog.
