Ethics & moral philosophy; Entrepreneurship; Advice on careers & achieving success

In a world of gatekeepers and suitors, The Odyssey of Ambition: Homer's Epic Retold for Entrepreneurs, Dreamers, and Rule-Breakers by Prince Penman is your bow to slay doubt and seize your Ithaca. This isn't just a book-it's a battle cry for those who grind through failure to forge success. Reimagining Homer's Odyssey, Penman blends stoic philosophy with contrarian fire, drawing from Michael Jordan's relentless drive, J.K. Rowling's rejection-fueled ink, and Warren Buffett's infinite game. From an Oakland coder's ashes-where a failed platform birthed a classroom of teen innovators-Penman offers entrepreneur motivation and personal growth strategies to disrupt markets and defy naysayers. Learn resilience techniques to bend without breaking, leadership skills to build lasting legacies, and self-help wisdom to conquer chaos. Whether you're an entrepreneur, artist, or activist, these pages deliver motivational stories and practical vows to string your bow. A 2025 Amazon trend (hypothetical) shows ""stoic philosophy"" surging among dreamers. Join the rebels who dare-grab this business inspiration guide and loose your arrow today.

Prince Penman is a writer, thinker, and self-described ""stumbler through life's mess,"" dedicated to exploring how our thoughts shape the world around us. Born in a small town where stories were currency-traded over kitchen tables and porch swings-he grew up fascinated by the power of ideas, from the tales his grandmother spun to the equations scribbled in his high school notebooks. That curiosity carried him through a winding path: a degree in psychology from a state university, years as a freelance journalist chasing human quirks, and a stint teaching writing workshops in community centers, where he learned more from his students than he ever imparted. Now settled somewhere between city noise and country quiet, Prince spends his days writing, parenting, and occasionally burning cobblers in a kitchen that's seen better days. As a Mind Creates is his first book, a blend of memoir, imagination, and practical insight drawn from years of watching people-including himself-try, fail, and try again to manifest something meaningful.
