Carlos Anderson grew up on Cleveland's east side, went to prison, and rebuilt his life. Here he shows how survival-mode thinking quietly steals your future, and how awareness takes it back.Full DescriptionNobody told us this was a war.If you grew up in poverty or instability, you learned to survive. You learned to think fast, react first, and live for right now, because right now was all that felt certain. That thinking kept you alive.It's also what's holding you back.In Study the Enemy, Carlos Anderson argues that survival mode was never meant to be a life plan. It's an emergency setting that never got switched off. Years later it still makes your decisions. It runs your habits, guards your ego, and keeps you reacting to life instead of building one.Anderson knows this war from the inside. He grew up in Hough and Wade Park on Cleveland's east side, in houses raided by the drug task force, while his mother fought addiction. He went to prison. There he taught himself to observe instead of react, and that discipline carried him to a new life in San Francisco as a day trader, a consultant, and a teacher of de-escalation and verbal judo to young people.This book names the enemies most people never see coming: The enemies inside you: impulse that looks like relief, habits that run on autopilot, and ego that gets loudest when you're hurtThe enemies around you: poverty, environments that train you every day, and systems that don't hate you but don't care about you eitherThe enemies that study you first: the patterns, weak moments, and digital traps that know your next move before you doAcross twenty short, direct chapters, Anderson pairs plain coaching with honest reflection on his own life. Each chapter ends with one practical move you can make right away, plus questions to help you see your own patterns. The book closes with A Letter to Young Carlos, a raw and personal message to the boy he used to be and to every reader still in the middle of the fight.This isn't a book about being stronger. It's about being smarter than what's working against you. You can't beat an enemy you refuse to see.Study it. Then outlast it.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/898/243/9798982437204_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "25.00", "online_price" : "25.00", "our_price" : "25.00", "club_price" : "25.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
