A Work Now In Progress

Coming Soon: Are You Who You Say You Are?

 

A New Book on Identity in a Fractured World

After publishing The Age of Influence, I found myself sitting with a deeper, more uncomfortable question—one that kept echoing beneath the surface of every chapter:

“If the world is shaping what we buy, believe, and become... then who, exactly, are we?”

That question became the seed for my next book:

Are You Who You Say You Are?

Currently in development, this new work is a natural extension of the issues raised in The Age of Influence. Where that book examined how external forces—from influencers to algorithms—shape public behavior and perception, Are You Who You Say You Are? turns inward. It explores what happens when identity itself becomes fluid, performative, or fractured.

This book navigates a wide field of modern identity dilemmas:

 – Pen names, aliases, and the urge to reinvent

 – Curated selves and online performance

 – Celebrity rebranding and personal myth-making

 – Stolen identities, real and symbolic

 – The existential weight of trying to be “authentic” in a world of masks

Each chapter is accompanied by optional reflection prompts—short, open-ended questions meant to invite personal engagement. They’re not assignments; just quiet nudges for those who want to pause and think a little more deeply.

Whether you’re curious about how identity is constructed—or grappling with who you’ve become—this book offers space to explore that terrain without judgment.

It’s still a work in progress, but the core themes are locked in, and I’ll be sharing updates as it evolves.

 Thanks for coming along for the journey.

More soon.
