Written from the field,
not from the desk.
I got a second chance at life and promised myself I would make the most of it. The first book answered the question of how to live fully. The second answered the question of how to do it as a man.

The Illusion of Time
11 Lessons on How Not to Suck at LifeIn September 2018, I survived the Palu earthquake and tsunami. More than 4,000 people around me didn't. Standing in the aftermath, I made one decision: to stop treating time as if it were infinite.
This book is what I learned from rebuilding my life around that decision. Eleven lessons — on time, fear, purpose, identity, and what it actually means to show up fully — drawn entirely from lived experience, not theory.
Not a self-help book. A field report. From someone who needed these lessons the hard way, and wrote them down so you don't have to wait for your own near-death experience to start living.

Strong Men Don't
Happen by Accident
On Masculinity, Mastery, and Showing Up
The world is pulling men in every direction. Most of the conversation about masculinity is either defensive or cartoonish. This book is neither.
It's an honest look at what it means to be a man who leads himself — in his own mind, in his relationships, and in the world. Three arenas: mastery of self, mastery of the collective, mastery of the environment.
No answers handed to you. No alpha-male fantasy. Sharp, unfiltered ideas and the space to carve your own conclusions. Written by a man who spent nine years in the military, survived a tsunami, and has been testing these ideas in extreme conditions ever since.
