Hey r/FreeEBOOKS.

Recently I put a book from my previous series (Wired Wrong, Built to Win) up here for free and the response floored me.

Today, I'm dropping the first book of my completely new series. Different architecture, different wound.

Pity You're Not Broke is for anyone who has ever been told - by a bank, an advisor, or a parent - that the reason they haven't built something real yet is that they don't have enough capital.

This book proves that's structurally and mechanically wrong.

Drawing on Harvard and Princeton data on scarcity, it breaks down what having zero capital actually does to your brain:

  • The Bandwidth Tax: The real, brutal cost of being broke. No sugarcoating.
  • The Tunneling Effect: How scarcity forces an involuntary, clinical hyper-focus on revenue-generating actions.

No morning routine or productivity hack can replicate this. Funded founders have to rely on discipline. Broke founders get this hyper-focus built into their operating environment for free.

This isn't a feel-good comfort book. It's an operating manual showing you how to weaponize having nothing.

It’s completely free on this weekend. Grab it here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0GX37228W

If you want to check out the rest of the new series, it's here:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYRV3LFZ

This sub allows authors exactly one promo post per month. I’m not going to waste yours or mine with standard marketing fluff.

If you're using your KU subscription to read business books that tell you to "build an atomic habit" or meditate at 5 AM, and your brain doesn't work in a straight line—that advice is actively destroying your confidence.

I’m Reid. I write for the outliers. I just released a 4-part series on KU called "Pity You're Not...".

It takes the exact things society, HR departments, and standard psychiatry call a "deficit" and uses hard research to prove why they are actually lethal competitive advantages.

The lineup:

  • Pity You're Not Broke: The "Bricolage" architecture. Why starting with zero capital creates a tunnel of focus that funded startups literally cannot compete with.
  • Pity You're Not Anxious: Reframing anxiety. Why a hyper-vigilant nervous system is actually high-resolution intelligence that the world is trying to medicate into silence.
  • Pity You're Not Dyslexic: The architecture of the misread brain. Why sequential thinkers operate at a structural deficit in strategic problem-solving.
  • Pity You're Not Introverted: The neurological case for silence. Why the loudest guy in the room is usually losing the game.

The wrong reader is looking for warm, fuzzy validation and a hug. The right reader already suspects the official corporate story doesn't add up.

These are short, aggressive operating manuals. I cut out all the filler so you can read them fast and get back to work.

The full series is here on KU:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYRV3LFZ

Pick the one that triggers you the most. Read it tonight. If the framework actually helps you execute in the real world tomorrow, let me know. I'm looking for raw field reports, not polite reviews.

Hey everyone. I wrote a book called Wired Wrong, Built to Win. It's a short, tactical guide for neurodivergent/ADHD brains on how to stop trying to fit into the standard corporate 9-to-5, and instead use AI and systems to bypass the rules entirely.

I know a lot of you deal with region locks, or just refuse to use Amazon's closed ecosystem. I get it. Information should be accessible.

So, here is the direct, unencrypted file on my server. No emails required, no tracking BS. Just take it:

If you want to do me a massive solid:

The book is currently temporarily listed as $0.00 on Amazon. If you do have an Amazon account, "buying" the free version there helps trick the algorithm into keeping an indie author at the #1 spot in its category against the big publishers.

But honestly, if you can't or don't want to use Amazon, just use the direct link. I just want the right people to read it.

Hope it helps some of you break out of the grind. Let me know what you think.
