I write because it clarifies things.
Not just ideas, but priorities. Writing forces me to organise thought, confront assumptions, and decide what actually matters. In that sense, my publications are not primarily for consumption — they are tools for internal efficiency.
They help me allocate attention, time, and capital more intelligently by committing a view of the future to paper and seeing whether it holds together under its own weight.
Writing as Strategic Compression
A book is an unusually demanding format.
You can’t hide behind fragments or ambiguity for long. Over time, contradictions surface. Weak assumptions collapse. Strong ideas sharpen themselves.
That pressure is the point.
Each publication represents a moment where a set of interests, observations, and convictions reached sufficient coherence to be fixed. Not because they were final, but because they were ready to be tested — against time, markets, and reality.
In that sense, the books are less about prediction and more about orientation.
Self-Publishing by Choice
All of my books are self-published.
That decision wasn’t ideological — it was practical.
Self-publishing allowed me to explore, first-hand, how the internet has transformed even the most traditional, pre-technology industries. Publishing used to be slow, gated, and capital-intensive. Now it is modular, global, and remarkably efficient when approached correctly.
Technology stripped away layers that no longer added value.
For me, self-publishing was not about bypassing standards, but about owning the process end to end:
- concept
- production
- distribution
- iteration
It was an experiment in leverage as much as authorship.
Expectations and Outcomes
I never expected the books to generate significant income.
That wasn’t the objective.
The objective was clarity, independence, and learning how systems respond when you engage them directly rather than through intermediaries.
That said, one publication delivered a result that genuinely surprised me — not just financially, but as confirmation that when ideas align with timing and incentives, they can travel far further than expected without marketing, persuasion, or noise.
That outcome reinforced a belief I already held: clarity compounds.
Why This Page Exists
This page isn’t a catalogue or a pitch.
It exists to document the role writing and publishing have played in my thinking and decision-making. The books are markers along a path — evidence of engagement, not destinations in themselves.
If someone reads them, they do so at their own pace and for their own reasons. If they don’t, nothing is lost.
The work did what it needed to do regardless.
A Closing Note
Publishing, like everything else I value, is a means rather than an identity.
It helped me think better.
It helped me understand systems more clearly.
And in one case, it delivered an outcome I didn’t anticipate.
That’s more than enough.
