Mr. Fix It: when being right goes wrong
By Daniel Charles Cohen Sr.
ISBN: 979-8293658961
What happens when the man who can fix anything realizes he can’t fix himself?
Meet a contractor whose gift for precision has become a prison. To his clients, he’s a savior with a wrench. To his wife, Lisa, he’s a walking critique with a socket set. And to himself? A man drowning in a world that never quite measures up.
In Mr. Fix It: when being right goes wrong, Daniel Charles Cohen Sr. crafts a raw, sharply observant journey through the mind of a perfectionist trying—and failing—to keep his life from falling apart. With wit, vulnerability, and unflinching honesty, this deeply human story explores what happens when the habits that once made us successful begin to undo us.
Through therapy sessions, strained silences, broken appliances, and the slow, painful effort to be better, this memoir-style novel reveals the quiet toll of childhood modeling, the addiction to control, and the unexpected beauty of learning how to let go.
This isn’t a story of transformation with fanfare—it’s one of accumulation. Of small decisions. Of learning to say nothing. Of fixing less, and feeling more.
For readers who loved The Midnight Library, A Man Called Ove, or Think Again, this is a story about relationships, redemption, and the long road back to yourself.
