On the Shortness of Life" by Seneca – A Wake-Up Call You Didn't Know You Needed

We often act like life is long… but Seneca, one of the most profound Stoic philosophers, reminds us it’s not the length of life that matters—it’s how we use it.

In "On the Shortness of Life", Seneca exposes the brutal truth: most people waste their time chasing distractions, fame, and wealth—forgetting that time is the one thing we can never get back.
Why you should read it:

It teaches you how to take ownership of your time.

It helps you focus on what actually matters in life.

It's a powerful mindset shift for men who want to stop drifting and start living with purpose.

If you're serious about leveling up your mindset and taking control of your life, this book will hit you hard—in the best way.

Start reading today and stop letting time slip through your fingers.

Book: Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink

If you're tired of waiting for motivation to show up, this book is your wake-up call.

Jocko Willink, a former Navy SEAL commander, doesn’t sugarcoat anything. In Discipline Equals Freedom, he teaches one brutal truth: you don’t need motivation, you need discipline. This isn’t a “feel good” book — it’s a manual for war. Not the kind with bullets, but the daily war you fight with your laziness, procrastination, excuses, and weakness.

What you’ll gain from this book:
A clear mental shift: Discipline is the path to true freedom.

Tactical strategies to wake up early, train harder, and take control of your mind.

Raw, powerful language that makes you want to get after it.

Tools to fight stress, weakness, fear, and self-doubt with action.

This book isn't about hype — it's about results.
Discipline isn’t punishment. It’s the ultimate form of self-respect. The more discipline you build, the freer your life becomes — because now, you’re in control.
I highly recommend it — I’ve read it, applied it, and it works.

I don’t begrudge any dude for getting into self improvement. Working on making yourself better is amazing and empowering. But the current brand of male self improvement is bad news

Can my fellow men please find more balance between the supplements and gym time with picking up a history book and working on mental health?

Improving your headspace is just as important as getting ripped

Embrace and escape!

I've never had more fun writing my 41st and 42nd books! I tackle what I've seen in 30 years of examining innovation success and innovation failure, and have wrapped them into two concise overviews that go hand in hand.

Today, I'm getting images together for Escaping Mediocrity, arriving by May 15, while watching sales for Embracing Mediocrity, which is already in print.

Two books. One powerful message!

How many of you retirees out there found themselves bored or restless after retiring from full-time work?

This week I got together with some old friends with whom I used to teach. One of them said that a combination of sick leave and spring break had given her two weeks off from work and she was already losing her mind.

I hear this too often from people. “I’ll never retire because I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.”

Damn. Not me. Give me the opportunity to be bored. My list of post-work/pre-senility endeavors is long.

I am so thouroughly radicalized by all I've learned and seen, especially these past few months. I've come to the conclusion that resisting and combatting fascism is part of every facet of a healthy and purposeful lifestyle. It radically changes how I approach everything, from broad abstracts like politics, to the basics like how to feed myself. Starve the oligarchy. Supplant it.
