Hi all - I just published my first book. I spent the last 18 months writing it at night and on weekends, while working a full-time job and raising two kids. My book is called The Stoic Systems Thinker It's an attempt to bridge two disciplines -- modern systems thinking and ancient Stoic philosophy -- to close the gap between how the world works and how we think. Systems thinking gives you the tools to see what others miss, such as hidden structures, feedback loops, and leverage points. Stoicism steadies the mind, helping you separate what you control from what you don’t, commit to what matters, and act with conviction through uncertainty. Together, they form a framework for making sense of a complex world. The book will teach you the fundamentals behind these ideas and provide you with the tools to apply them throughout life. Through frameworks, exercises, and real-world examples, you’ll develop a way of thinking that compounds over time. I aim to show you a new way of seeing problems, making decisions, and taking action. If this sounds like it could resonate, you can get it on Amazon in ebook ($5.99), paperback ($21.99), and hardcover ($34.99): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3P4JKZ8/ If you'd like to learn more, you can visit my website where I write a 2x monthly newsletter: https://www.stoicsystemsthinker.com/ Finally, if you'd like to read part of the book first at no-risk, you can download a full chapter for free here: https://www.stoicsystemsthinker.com/products/priority-stacks-starter A few confessions / honest notes for this audience: - Early sales are ok but modest. I'm an unknown author -- I've made peace with the fact that word of mouth is a slow machine. But I'm grinding away, trying to get this in front of as many people as possible. - I built systems to write this book -- they carried me through the writing far more than willpower did. The "two crappy pages a day" mentality is 100% true. - I messed up my launch before it even started by canceling my own Amazon KDP preorder, fixing a typo on a live listing. I learned that was irreversible. That one cost me a stressful night with KDP support. Let me know if you have any questions. And thanks for reading!
