The Book On Strategic Obsession: How to Turn Long-Term Thinking Into a Competitive Weapon reframes obsession as the ultimate source of leverage in a culture addicted to distraction and optionality.

Most people pivot endlessly, browsing for novelty while avoiding depth. Webb argues that the real edge comes from narrowing focus, closing doors, and compounding effort over years, not weeks.

Inside, readers will learn:

    • Why optionality is a trap that prevents mastery.
    • How to guard attention in the noisy economy.
    • The difference between strategic obsession and stubborn fixation.
    • Why long-term thinking compounds where short-term hacks collapse.
    • How to build systems, feedback loops, and identity structures that make obsession sustainable.

This is not a book about working harder or glorifying burnout. It's a manual for building something that outlasts hype, headlines, and quarterly metrics. Through clear frameworks and unapologetic prose, Webb equips founders, operators, and thinkers with the tools to outlast trends and turn long-term focus into a competitive weapon.

Because in the end, optionality scatters. Obsession concentrates. And in the long game, concentration wins.
