Ryan Obernesser discovered that True Freedom is found within. After achieving success in business and climbing his metaphorical mountain top he thought would fix him – he found nothing. After years of grinding through sleepless nights, chronic stress, and chronic physiological symptoms the war in his mind broke down the walls protecting him.

What followed was a two-year journey of radical mental transformation documented in over 200,000 words of raw, unfiltered journal entries. He sold one business, closed the other and moved his family south. Through therapy, ancient wisdom, plant medicine, and his own emerging psychological model, he learned to quiet the competing voices that had controlled him for three decades and found his authentic self—ME.

Today, he lives with his wife Christina and two children experiencing the kind of love and presence he once thought impossible. When he held his son for the first time, he finally understood what it meant to truly feel. A moment that would have been lost on the man he was before.

His mission is simple: to help other men trapped in the mental prison of their mind find their way back to themselves before they lose everything that actually matters. This book is his battle-tested map for anyone ready to end the war in their mind and discover who they really are beneath the armor.

He believes that entrepreneurship forces us to face parts of ourselves most people never have to confront and do it at a rapid rate. This pressure cooker of self-discovery can either destroy you or set you free.

He chose freedom. Now he's showing others the way.
