Meaning in the Momentum
On meaning, identity, and leading through the middle of it.
Book one of the Made to Change series.
A candid book for founders and senior leaders who want to stay ambitious without giving up their health, their relationships, or their sense of who they are.
Time is finite, and you cannot earn it back. Attention is how you spend it. And when change accelerates, in an AI-driven world most of all, attention is the first thing to get captured. You slip into 'I'll be ok when...' living, chasing the next milestone, the next target, the next win, while the life you are building quietly passes.
Meaning in the Momentum is about noticing that sooner. It is a practical guide to meaning and resilience: how attention, identity, and meaning behave when the ground moves, and why the ways of operating that got you here stop producing the clarity they used to. It draws on timeless ideas, Stoicism and Viktor Frankl, and blends them with modern psychology, CBT and Transactional Analysis.
Don't give away the moments you can't buy back.

The Made to Change series
Meaning in the Momentum is the first of three related works.
The first is about identity: where your sense of self comes from, how it is built and held, and what happens to it when change pulls the structure away.
The second turns that understanding into method: a practical way to aim your attention across a day, a pursuit, and a whole finite life.
The third looks further out, at what happens to human judgement as the world speeds up around us.
They will follow when they are ready. The list below is how you hear first.
