All the reviews.

“This book felt like a gentle companion during a season when I was overwhelmed. What I loved is that it doesn’t pretend life is perfect, it acknowledges burnout, fear, and messy emotions, but in a way that’s funny, relatable, and reassuring.”

“This book is funny, smart, and surprisingly deep. The images keep it light, but the reflections and exercises really made me think. It feels like getting advice from a friend who actually gets it. It’s not just inspiring. It’s doable.”

“This book isn’t a guide full of fixes. It’s more like a breather in book form. Made for the ones dragging themselves through the chaos but still showing up. It doesn’t try to solve everything. Instead, it sits beside you, reminds you you’re human, and that it’s okay to not have it all togethe.”

“There’s no sugary sweetness or fake optimism in the book. It discusses fear, burnout, and needing to check out of life without making you feel a failure for experiencing them. It’s not a manual for flawless people. It’s more of a gentle push that whispers, ’Move forward even if you’re doing it with snack residue on your shirt and a mind full of uncertainty.&rs.”

“Meaningful Ideas and Important Messages.”

“A lighthearted, enjoyable book to read with some great insights on how to be nice to yourself and not fall for the trap of trying to live others’ dreams of what your life should be.”

“Duck Yeah is an engaging and motivational guide that encourages readers to embrace their passions and craft a fulfilling life. It inspires you to take actionable steps towards personal happiness and self-discovery.”

“A funny and smart self-help book.”

“What an amazing little gem and no, I was not expecting what I got. I got it sort of on a whim and wasn’t expecting much but boy was I wrong. If you are feeling stuck in life and want to feel understood and laugh while it’s happening, this is definitely the book for y.”

“What the Duck am I Doing with my Life? is a witty, brutally honest reflection on the confusion of modern adulthood. With sharp humor and raw vulnerability, it captures the chaos of figuring out purpose and direction. Both hilarious and relatable, it leaves you laughing while questioning your own path.”

“Finally, a Self-Help Book That Gets Real About Wanting More.”

“Scotty Boxa doesn’t hand you a polished, laminated 10-step plan to enlightenment — he hands you a megaphone, a mirror, and a duck-themed intervention. And somehow, that combo works. Hilariously, painfully, and brilliantly well. Favorite line? ’You can’t paddle toward a dream you’re too scared to admit you have.’ Oof. That is a gem.”

“It’s the exact kind of funny, honest, and genuinely helpful self-help I didn’t know I needed. It’s not one of those overly polished, ’change your life by Tuesday’ books. It’s real, raw, and hilarious like getting life advice from a smart, slightly chaotic best friend who actually gets it.”

“Equal parts hilarious and healing, this brutally honest book is a lifeline for anyone flailing through life’s chaos. With zero fluff, fierce compassion, and a duck ton of swearing, it’s the no-BS self-help guide we all nee.”

“It’s not selfish to want more from life even if you have more than many others around you. That’s the basis for this hilariously ducky self-help book that kicks ’enoughness’ to the curb as you’re encouraged to take that first messy flap and write down the one thing that you truly want right now.”

“THIS BOOK IS DUCKING HILARIOUS!!! So many laugh out loud moments. The outstanding advice throughout each chapter… honestly feels like speaking with your best friend in an open an honest way.”

“hilariously real and motivational.”

“It is like a friend talking to you about their experiences and feelings of life. That makes you feel like you are not alone.”

“Simpatico, semplice, dirett.”

“I loved this book! I’ve been reading about boundaries over the last couple of months — it’s an issue that affects me personally — I can never say no. But this book touched on something else: people imposing their opinions on how I should live my life, as well as what they want me to do for them. It’s a great book that I wish I had read years ag.”

“Hold My Ducks is raw, funny, and feels like a lifeline for anyone who’s going through a rough patch. The author takes burnout and heartbreak and spins them into sharp, laugh-out-loud truths. Every page reminds you that not every crisis is your responsibility and that setting boundaries can actually feel like relief. It’s honest, messy, and surprisingly comforting.”

“Funny and very helpful.”

“This book was a delight to read! Not only is the point clear and concise, but it’s also just a fun read. The humor balances between tongue in cheek and in your face, but it helps maintain a steady pace and keeps you paying attention. If you’re a people pleaser or have trouble saying no, this is a must read!.”

“Hold My Ducks is not a self-help book. It’s a controlled burn. It’s for the ones who’ve been ’so nice’ for so long they’ve started twitching at group texts. For the ones who say yes through gritted teeth, who host the party and clean up while resenting every second of it. This is your handbook for rage, release, and reclaiming your ducking boundaries.”

“Great self help book.”

“I think I would collect all of Boxa’s books as they are very interesting and timely, suited for the modern landscape that is quite shaping how we mingle with people. His advice is practical, realistic, straightforward, down to earth, and what’s more, it’s doable. Great job!.”

“A Hug In Book Form.”

“The Strong Ones Are Tired by Scotty Boxa was a pleasant surprise. It’s not preachy or overly analytical. To the contrary, it felt more like a friend was sitting there with a beer or some coffee and saying, ’I feel that, this is how I deal with it.’ In my personal village and in my career, I am often the strong one that feels obligated to hold it together for me and everyone else. This book made me feel seen and reminded me it’s okay to be tire.”

“The Strong One Is Tired is for the overachievers, emotional caregivers, and quiet warriors running on empty but still showing up. It’s not another self-help pep talk or a glow-up plan — it’s more like collapsing in your hoodie and whispering, ’I can’t today.’… and for once, being allowed to mean it.”

“Everyone needs this book.”

“I’ve always been the one who says yes, puts others first, and tries to keep it all together, even when I’m falling apart. Eventually, I burned out. This book felt like a deep breath. It didn’t try to fix me or tell me to work harder. It just made me feel seen and underst.”

“The Strong One Is Tired is a deeply validating exhale for every over-functioning, emotionally exhausted soul. Raw, witty, and unfiltered, it offers not solutions, but permission—to rest, to feel, to stop performing strength. It’s not self-help. It’s self-compassion in paperback. Finally, a book that just gets it.”

“This book at first made me uncomfortable. But you don’t grow if you’re uncomfortable. You have to learn how unpack all your emotions and feelings and put yourself first sometimes. That’s exactly what this book helps you learn how to do. It’s a book that doesn’t aim to fix you but to help yourself heal.”

“Exactly what you need when you’re running on empty.”

“A Refreshing and Honest Take on Burnout — A Must-Read in Today’s High-Pressure Worl.”

“Makes Perfect Sense – Very well Needed!.”

“Ever been called ’the strong one’ like it’s a bloody compliment, but all it really means is ’please keep emotionally babysitting the world while slowly disintegrating inside’? Yeah. This book is for you. The chapters hit like late-night text messages from your emotionally honest best friend, funny, raw, wildly validating, and sometimes devastating in that good, ’oh god someone finally said it’ kind of way.”

“For anyone tired of being the strong one, read this book!.”

“Tenero, vero, profondamente liberatori.”

“’The Strong One Is Tired’ was different.”

“Wow! I read the book because of the cute graphics but never expected myself to relate so much to the author and to every chapter of the book! What a great way to present such deep, emotional things we go through everyday! Absolutely a gem!.”

“These days it seems we all need to get a little tougher and learn how to stop over extending ourselves by always saying yes. The Waddle Forward Collection is a great guide to putting yourself first and setting healthy boundaries throughout life.”

“The Duck Collection is equal parts funny and helpful. Scotty Boxa cuts through the crap with humor while teaching real tools for setting boundaries and protecting your peace. It’s like tough love mixed with stand-up comedy. If you’ve ever felt burned out, stuck, or too ’nice,’ this book is a must. I really enjoyed it and laughed out l.”

“Nice Interesting Concept!.”
