The 5 Laws of Agency: How to Stay in Control When the World Falls Apart

You are not broken. You are overwhelmed.
You’re trying to do something the human brain was never designed to do: simulate an entire tribe with a single mind.

For most of human history, thinking was a collective act. Decisions were made by councils. Emotions were processed in circles. The burden of existence was carried by a community.

Now you carry it alone.

This book offers five laws—not rules, but gravitational truths that hold your life together when everything else destabilizes:

• Control the Frame
• Energy Beats Time
• Direction Beats Speed
• Externalize Cognition
• Asymmetry or Death

These laws won’t make life easier.
They will make you stronger.

If you’ve been feeling scattered, overloaded, directionless, or quietly collapsing under the pace of modern life, this book gives you the structure your mind has been missing.

The architecture of agency.
The path back to yourself.
