Sinossi

Steel Empire explores the dramatic transformation of the United States into an industrial powerhouse through the lens of the American steel industry. During the Gilded Age, innovations like the Bessemer process enabled mass production, forever changing the economic and urban landscape. The book uniquely examines how figures like Andrew Carnegie, representing entrepreneurial vision, intersected with the often harsh realities faced by steelworkers, offering a balanced view of the era's unprecedented growth and social inequality. The book argues that the steel industry's success resulted from abundant resources, favorable government policies, and a relentless pursuit of efficiency. Early chapters detail the technological breakthroughs that facilitated mass production, followed by an analysis of industrial leaders and a dedicated examination of the lives and struggles of steelworkers. By connecting industrial history with economics, sociology, and urban planning, Steel Empire provides a comprehensive and accessible understanding of the forces that shaped modern America.

    ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, influencing various aspects of life, including attention, focus, and emotional regulation. One of the most challenging and often misunderstood aspects of ADHD is impulsivity. Impulsivity can manifest in many ways, such as making snap decisions, acting without fully considering the consequences, or responding to emotions before thinking them through. These behaviors, while common for those with ADHD, can lead to difficulties in personal relationships, work environments, and overall life satisfaction. This book seeks to provide strategies and insights for managing impulsivity, particularly in the context of quick decision-making and emotional responses. 
      
    For individuals with ADHD, impulsivity is not merely a matter of poor decision-making—it is deeply rooted in the neurological underpinnings of the condition. The brain’s inability to regulate certain executive functions, such as impulse control, makes it harder for individuals to pause and think before acting. This can result in a range of consequences, from minor mishaps to more significant interpersonal or professional challenges. However, understanding the science behind impulsivity is only part of the equation. Recognizing how these impulses affect daily life and learning how to manage them is crucial for building a healthier, more balanced existence. 
      
    This book explores how impulsivity manifests in everyday situations and how individuals with ADHD can learn to identify these moments of unregulated emotional responses or hasty decisions. It delves into the emotional impact that impulsivity can have, discussing how heightened emotions can both drive impulsive actions and result from them. The goal is to provide tools that allow for greater self-awareness, self-control, and emotional resilience, helping readers to slow down and consider their actions more thoughtfully.

    A Mild Case of Dead examines the folly of pursuing greater satisfaction in life through the goals of health, fitness, and weight loss. It occurs to us as logical to seek these qualities as a way to be more satisfied with our lives, but we seek them only because of a dissatisfaction with our lives. The human design is to be more satisfied with life first. When you’re guided by humanity instead of logic your physical state becomes a byproduct of that satisfaction, not the way to it.  
    Written and narrated by the author, the book explains why he chose to abandon this work and close his gym forever. He realized that the issues that cause people to pursue health and fitness strategies are never resolved with the minutiae of programs or routines or diets because they are internal struggles first. 
    The natural way to be satisfied with your body is to be satisfied with your life. Any other process is only a theory about life, not the real thing.
