About The Alchemy of Chores
The Alchemy of Chores: A Mindful, Slightly Irreverent Guide to Finding Zen in the Mundane
Once upon a time, there was The Great Laundry Stand-Off of 2014 – a legendary domestic battle in which one man refused to fold a load of laundry for three entire weeks, just to see who would break first: him, or the relentless heap of clothing. (Spoiler: the t-shirts won.)
If that sounds even remotely familiar, this book is for you.
The Alchemy of Chores isn’t your typical mindfulness guide. You won’t be told to scrub your floors with forced enthusiasm or meditate over dirty dishes like a sponge-wielding monk. But you will learn how to turn the mundane into something surprisingly meaningful.
• Hate doing laundry? Find out why smoothing out wrinkles isn’t just about shirts – it’s about life.
• Dread washing dishes? Discover the surprising link between soap bubbles and inner peace.
• Can’t stand tidying up? Learn why monks and neuroscientists agree: cleaning your space clears your mind.
This isn’t just theory – it’s a hands-on invitation to shift your relationship with the everyday.
Inside, you’ll find:
• Practical exercises and daily check-in prompts
• Four printable worksheets to help you apply what you’ve read
• A 30-Day Mindfulness Challenge designed to build lasting habits, one small step at a time
Equal parts grounded wisdom and practical toolkit, The Alchemy of Chores offers ~90 pages of humor, mindfulness, and hands-on practice for anyone who’s ever sighed dramatically before taking out the trash – and wondered if there’s a better way.

Author Bio:
Nick Wroblewski is a trader by day, and a mindfulness explorer by lifelong passion.
Now in his 40s, he has spent the last decade practicing mindfulness – not in a secluded monastery, but in the far messier reality of daily life.
While meditation has been a guiding force, some of his most profound insights have come not from a cushion, but from scrubbing pans and folding laundry. This book is his attempt to prove that spiritual liberation might just start with a mop.
When he’s not trading or contemplating the mysteries of housework, he enjoys reading, delving into human psychology, and exploring the nuances of different cultures.
