So, you may have noticed I’ve been self-publishing books this summer.

I can officially say the final copies are all here, all nine of them.

If you asked me where to start, I’d point to the photo and say: upper left, then work your way across and down.

The trading books stand on their own, but they also follow naturally from the first three. And the first three are not really about trading, even when trading shows up.

*The Deck Has Already Been Cut* asks whether the story you’re telling yourself about what comes next is as solid as you think.

*FOMO* looks at the language we inherit, the pressure it creates, and whether we are allowed to think differently.

Then *The Geometry of Flow* asks you to look again — at movement, pressure, thresholds, accumulation, scars, passage, and how much of what we “see” is really the story we brought with us.

After that, the Playbooks become a little more practical. Sit down. Test something. Build a system. Make it yours.

I didn’t plan these nine books as one rigid series, which may be why they ended up fitting together as well as they do.

Bit by bit, apparently, became shelf by shelf.

Promo copies of *The Geometry of Flow* arrived today.

There’s something different about seeing an idea become an object.

Everything passes through the thin part.

I wanted to make a line that could say more than a canvas full of brushstrokes. Eventually, I learned that the line could only do that when I stopped asking it to say everything.

“A distraction costs you an afternoon. But attention compounds, so a distraction that recurs is not stealing your afternoon. It is investing, on your behalf and against your interest, in the infrastructure of a self you did not choose—laying cable, hardening routes, accumulating mass around a hub whose gravity you will later mistake for your own nature.

You will say, I am just an anxious person. I have a short attention span. This is who I am.

And you will be describing, with eerie accuracy, a hub that a decade of engineered routing built inside you, one compounded glance at a time.”

From "The Geometry of Flow" by Bob Cavin III

Card games. Trading indicators. FOMO after the fact.

We keep looking at the past, hoping it will tell us what comes next.

The indicators are historical. The forecast is history trying to rhyme.

New on Substack: The Deck Has Already Been Cut.

Welp... this just got real.

A fresh stack of FOMO showed up today, and I may have spent a few minutes just staring at them.

It's a good reminder that a thousand tiny decisions eventually become something you can hold.
