This is an invitation to set your life on fire
CONTROLLED BURN
a book by Jeremy Fiebig
This is a book about fires – figuratively speaking.
The ones that entrance us. The ones that gather us. The ones that consume us.
The ones we find ourselves at the center of. The ones we set ourselves.
In this we can find the light to make our way to the Deep Work from personal crisis to self-renewal.
Live Events
In an unconventional approach to the book tour experience, we invite you instead to circle up in communities for burning, storytelling & more.
Start Your Own Fire
Projects, essays, reflections, and other sundries that may help you thin out the ground a bit and make space for a fire of your own.

“Through his illuminated descriptions of his own experiences with ‘active burning’, the author allows us access to alternate perspectives and viewpoints into the duality of the nature of creation and destruction, and why both are necessary in order to find true balance in all aspects of one’s life.”
JESSICA JOHNSON, MA, MS, CCC-SLP
(ARTIST, SCIENTIST, HUMANIST)
“Jeremy’s book is a moving account of the sort of growing crisis that can creep into someone’s life unnoticed until they look around and realize it has become pervasive and debilitating. In describing his path out of his own unhappiness, Jeremy hits on a potent metaphor of burning and bonfires, and the healing power of creative energy, spiritual renewal, community, and carefully managed destruction. It is a valuable work of personal memoir and a helpful guide for anyone looking to break free from corrosive and unfulfilling patterns of behavior, and replace them with sources of warmth and renewal.“
ROB GIBBS, SCREENWRITER, EDUCATOR, ARTIST
“Controlled Burn is both a vulnerable memoir and a functional workbook centered on setting your life on fire (in a good way, as the author reminds us.) Fiebig uses fire as a flexible language for presenting kindling to the reader and, perhaps most importantly, invites the reader to light some fires of their own.”
