What if every setback you have endured was secretly self inflicted?

In "The Will to Fail," Kevin L. Michel rips away the comforting myths that blame luck, talent, or circumstance for a life stuck in neutral. With a voice as sharp as a drill sergeant and as precise as a neurosurgeon, Michel exposes the hidden psychological payoffs that keep intelligent people courting disaster and then hands you the tools to redirect that same relentless energy toward unstoppable progress.

  • CONFRONT YOUR SABOTEUR. Discover why a part of you wants the chaos, drawing on Nietzsche's warlike man, Freud's death drive, and modern self handicapping research.
  • WEAPONIZE NEUROSCIENCE. Use low dopamine mornings, chaos baseline resets, and evidence based focus rituals to rewire your brain for sustained motivation.
  • BREAK THE SPIRAL TODAY. Identify the eight classic self sabotage tools - procrastination, perfectionism, drama seeking, and more - and learn street level tactics to disarm each one.
  • FORGE A NEW IDENTITY. Replace the comfort of failure with the discipline of creation and watch your relationships, career, and self respect transform.
  • NO FLUFF, NO APOLOGIES. Every chapter is a direct order to act, backed by ruthless clarity and practical steps you can implement before the day ends.

WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK?

  • High achievers who keep tripping at the finish line
  • Entrepreneurs, artists, and students battling perfectionism and procrastination
  • Readers of Ryan Holiday, David Goggins, or Jocko Willink who want a darker mirror and sharper edge
  • Anyone ready to replace self pity with iron clad personal authority

Michel's manifesto is a calculated shock to your system. If you are tired of soothing excuses and ready for blunt truth that hurts before it heals, "The Will to Fail" will become the most important - and most confrontational - book on your shelf.

Open to the first page and discover that your greatest enemy is about to become your greatest ally, because the will that once chose failure can just as fiercely choose to forge success.
