The War Inside by Noah Fisher

About The War Inside by Noah Fisher

You’re not broken. You’re just disconnected.

You’ve kept it together. Stayed strong. Showed up. But lately, you feel… nothing.

No joy. No pain. Just a flatness you can’t shake — and a quiet sense that something important is slipping away.

The War Inside is a field manual for emotionally numb men who want to feel again — without losing control.

It’s not therapy. It’s not fluff.

It’s a straight-talking guide to emotional mastery, written for men who’ve carried too much for too long and are done pretending it doesn’t affect them.

Learn why numbness happens, how to reclaim your emotional edge, and how to build a new kind of strength: calm, present, and grounded in truth. No guilt. No oversharing. No shame.

Just clarity, control, and the power to lead from something real.

Read it. Use it. Lead from it.

It’s About Time by Kenneth James

About It’s About Time by Kenneth James

What if time isn’t what you think it is?

We treat time like a ticking clock. Something to race. Something to fear. Something we never have enough of. But what if time isn’t running out, what if it’s been waiting for you?

It’s About Time is a mindful reflection of time that invites you to explore time as something you can feel—not just count. Through grounded metaphors, personal reflection, and a quiet, meditative tone, this book reframes our relationship with time, presence, and pace.

This isn’t a book about productivity. It’s about permission—to slow down, to notice, and to trust the unfolding of your life.

Whether you’re moving too fast or stuck in place, these pages offer a gentle shift in perspective:

You’re not behind.
You’re right on time.

How school culture crushes creativity and real learning

The Dirty Game: Doping, Deception, and Dominance in Elite Sport

About The Dirty Game: Doping, Deception, and Dominance in Elite Sport

What if the greatest moments in sport were built on deception?
From the lonely death of a cyclist on Mont Ventoux to the calculated lies of global superstars, Narco Nations of Sport peels back the curtain on some of the most shocking doping scandals in athletic history. This is not just a chronicle of disgraced champions — it’s a forensic investigation into how performance-enhancing drugs have shaped, stained, and defined elite competition.

Through the stories of iconic figures like Lance Armstrong, Ben Johnson, Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, and Marco Pantani, as well as state-run programs from East Germany to Russia and China, this book explores the complex interplay between personal ambition, systemic corruption, and the relentless drive for dominance. Each athlete’s fall from grace is more than just an individual failure — it’s a mirror reflecting a sports culture that rewards silence and protects reputation.

As doping becomes ever more sophisticated, the line between fair play and pharmaceutical advantage continues to blur. This book asks the hard questions: Are the cheaters truly alone? Is doping not the exception, but the system?

Gripping, deeply researched, and unflinchingly honest, The Dirty Game is the untold history of modern sport’s chemical arms race — and the cost of chasing greatness at all costs.

The Nigerian in me by JD

About The Nigerian in me by JD

When sixteen-year-old Eniola is uprooted from her vibrant life in Lagos and dropped into a posh British boarding school, she thinks she’s ready for anything. Armed with jollof rice, her father’s voice in her head, and enough Naija sarcasm to survive a civil war, she’s determined not to lose herself.

But survival in this new world isn’t just about dodging British slang or confusing cafeteria food. Between decoding fake friendships, dodging bullies, and dealing with a certain infuriatingly charming boy named Zachariah Hamilton, Eniola finds herself torn between blending in and standing tall.

Full of humor, heart, and home training, The Nigerian in Me is a laugh-out-loud, coming-of-age tale about culture shock, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to be unapologetically yourself—even when it’s hard.
