In 2014, during the first year of my PhD program in Organizational Psychology, and while doing my thesis research on entrepreneurial courage, I became aware of Dan Sullivan, a renowned entrepreneurial coach of nearly 50 years. Together, Dan and I co-authored a trilogy of entrepreneurial strategy books: Who Not How, The Gap and the Gain, and 10x is Easier than 2x. These books have collectively sold 1M+ copies.

This book explores research and ideas related to "personality" and its nature, as well as its flexibility overtime and in various contexts. The thesis of the book is that personality is more pliable than many psychologists and psychological theories assume. Moreover, this book proposes that "identity" is a far more powerful concept than personality, and largely drives the development and direction of one's personality.

From 2015-2018, during my PhD program, I was the top blogger on Medium.com. During these years, my articles were read 10's of millions of times, enabling me to organically grow an email list of over 400,000 readers. It was through this process that I was able to become a professional author and get my first book deal with Hachette, for what would become Willpower Doesn't Work, my first traditionally published book.

An exploration into the power of context as a more powerful force than one's individual willpower. Based on my own experiences observing my family fall apart due to addiction, and seeing the power of peer groups on one's life choices and outcomes. An invitation to take ownership over one's context, or to unwittingly become subject to a context not in your best interest.

Dr. Nathaniel Lambert was a research advisor of mine between my undergraduate and graduate programs. Together, we submitted over 20 articles for publication in various journals, although most were never taken to full publication.
