January 13, 2026Author note: I wrote The Easy Mode. This isn’t a review, just a note to add context.
I’m writing this to my 20-year-old self: ambitious, optimistic, and way too trusting of the grind.
I know you won’t listen. You’ll want to earn it the hard way. You’ll try to outwork the world.
But just consider this: there might be a better strategy than betting everything on “going hard” forever.
“Easy” doesn’t mean lazy. It means leverage: awareness, choosing battles you can win, and removing unnecessary struggle.
This book is short on purpose (1–2 sittings). If you spot typos or anything confusing, please tell me—I shipped fast and I’ll improve it.
