Militant Mind

The Psychology of Building What Doesn't Exist

A field manual for the internal war every founder must fight before a single customer ever arrives. This is not a business book—it's a psychological journey into the terrain where real entrepreneurship is forged.

Militant Mind

by Sam Berman

Drawing from the raw edges of personal collapse, rebirth, faith, and the relentless pursuit of purpose, this book reveals the hidden battles behind success: the death of identity, the quiet violence of doubt, the scars that become strength, and the obsession that becomes inevitability.

Part memoir, part manifesto, Militant Mind shows that building something meaningful is not about strategy or luck, but about the transformation of the builder himself.
