About the book
You Control YOU
This book is for YOU.
It started as a letter to my kids and notes to my young staff, all hungry for a more useful, actionable, optimistic way to see this wild wacky world.
It evolved into a written rebellion against the doom, dumb and downbeat nonsense peddled on social media and pimped by far too many “leaders” and “influencers.”
The book is designed as a blunt, how-to guide for overcoming AI, anxiety, doom-scrolling and the insanity of modern life.
I won the lottery: great parents and siblings, a wife of 25-plus years, three kids in their early 20s, and a job that lets me talk to the most interesting people on earth — and write about it.
Everything I’ve learned boils down to three words: You Control You.
That’s the whole game. In a world that often makes you feel small and powerless, the one thing you truly own is YOU. You own what you do, read, share, think, eat, and spend your time on.
This book shows you how to maximize that mentality in every area of your life.
It’s not theory. It’s not a sales pitch. It’s a gift — from one human who has gotten plenty wrong before getting it right — to you.
You’ve got this. I’m rooting for you.
