Mind is the Matter isn't a self-help book written by a doctor in a clean white coat. It's written by someone who's been through the fire-and lived to tell about it. Eric F. Gilbert knows firsthand what it's like to battle invisible demons every day. A successful businessman by all appearances, he has spent a lifetime fighting depression, trauma, and suicidal thoughts that few ever saw behind the smile. This book isn't about theory. It's about survival. It's about grit.

It's about how you can still build a powerful, meaningful life-even when the war inside your head never fully goes away. In these pages, Eric shares the hard-earned truths, strategies, and mindsets that kept him standing when everything inside him wanted to give up. He tells the truth about struggle-and the truth about hope. About how real strength isn't found in pretending you're okay, but in fighting through the days you're not. If you've ever wondered if you were the only one struggling behind a successful life-this book is for you. If you've ever felt like giving up-this book is for you. If you're still breathing-you're still winning. Mind is the matter.

And you are stronger than you know.
