Authors Notes

We live in a reactive society. A powder keg. Keyboard warriors, social media influencers, cancel culture. Everyone’s quick to argue, but slow to listen — if they listen at all. Our education system indoctrinates more than it teaches us how to think. Political systems ragebait us. The media tells us what to believe and demonizes anyone who questions it.

And rapidly, we’re becoming more extremist and polarized, in a subtle but divisive way. Each side mirrors the other’s worst traits, but because we believe we’re “right,” we don’t recognize when we’ve crossed into extremism too.

I was fortunate to study a wide range of influences, reading hundreds of books over the last decade. The more I learned, the less I fell for the tricks and traps this society sets. I began connecting dots, forming insights, and even developing theories of my own.

But here’s what I realized: before I can share anything I’ve learned, none of it will connect unless you learn to unlearn first. We all carry beliefs, but the question isn’t who’s right or wrong. The question is, how much truth are we cutting ourselves off from if we think we already know it all? Are we truly ourselves, or just echoes of our surroundings? Can we hear a different opinion without becoming emotionally reactive?

This book lays out how things work, how we got here, and how to break free. It will show you how to change things both on the micro level — your own thinking, choices, and life — and on the macro level of culture, systems, and society.

It’s a guide to thinking as a free individual — a liberated mind.
