PKCS Media is a small American independent publisher producing practical self-help and applied psychology titles, working in series with consistent design and structure.
Its best-known author is Nick Trenton, whose Path to Calm series includes Stop Overthinking, published in 2021 and widely sold. The house also publishes related lines on social skills, learning, and personal effectiveness.
The model is volume and consistency instead of individual literary ambition, producing short instructional books that a reader can finish and apply. Reviewers frequently describe the output as solid and unoriginal, which is a fair description of what the format is designed to deliver.
