Coming April 2027
The Writer’s Mind
A book about defeating procrastination, perfectionism, and the mental blocks that stop you from writing and finishing.
About the book
Writing is one of the hardest things we can choose to do. Yet for many of us, it is less a choice, and more a compulsion.
Writing asks us to edge up to our limits, our doubts, our fears, our need for validation or certainty or perfection, and push through them. And to do that, we must transform. The Writer’s Mind is about transformation.
About the book →What the book explores
Three ideas at the center
The science of the writing mind
Most writing problems are not craft problems—they are brain problems. The Writer’s Mind explains the neuroscience behind creativity, focus, flow, and resistance so you can work with your mind rather than against it.
Identity as the hidden lever
Willpower is like rocket fuel. Identity is like gravity. The book explains how to use identity-based change to make doing something hard, like writing a book, much easier and more enjoyable.
Small practices, lasting change
Grand resolutions fail because they demand too much at once. This book is built around four-minute daily habits that—through neuroplasticity—accumulate into a more productive and more fulfilling creative life.
