Synopsis
Most people already know what they need to do; the real challenge is understanding why they don't do it. We often look at a gap in performance and label it a lack of discipline or a failure of character, yet these labels ignore the biological reality of how the brain handles change. Behind every moment of hesitation is a sophisticated system of self-protection, a "Silent Barrier" that treats growth as a threat and discomfort as a signal to retreat.
Mind Over Authority looks at leadership and personal mastery as a technical problem rather than a moral one. By grounding the experience of change in the research of neurobiology and behavioral psychology, the focus shifts from finding motivation to managing the mechanics of action. It explores how cognitive dissonance and the protective instincts of the amygdala can be recalibrated not through massive leaps of willpower, but through the deliberate engineering of habit and gradual exposure.
