Severance fans can now delve into the self-help book written by Dr. Ricken Hale, played by Michael Chernus, thanks to Apple Books’ release of the first eight chapters of “The You You Are: A Spiritual Biography of You”. The companion book is a mix of self-improvement advice and cringe comedy, featuring quotes like “they cannot crucify you if your hand is in a fist” and “a society with festering workers cannot flourish”.
Ricken’s backstory reveals the circumstances surrounding his conception and birth, which took place as part of a performance art piece. His parents’ unusual past includes holding a Boston bar hostage for one of their performances. The book provides insights into Ricken’s relationship with co-stars Mark (Adam Scott) and Gemma (Dichen Lachman), as well as exploring the bond between Ricken and his wife Devon.
The release of “The You You Are” has sparked intrigue, particularly after a conversation between Ricken and Innie Mark. Fans are eager to know more about the book’s contents and how it might shed light on the mysteries within the Severance universe. With new episodes of Season 2 streaming every Friday, the anticipation is building.
For now, fans can download “The You You Are” for free on Apple Books, exploring Ricken’s eccentricities and offering a glimpse into his world before Gemma’s untimely death.
