POWERFUL AND PARANOID: The Psychiatric Autopsy of America’s Diplomacy and Global Leadership

If you still think America’s foreign policy is “just politics,” you are reading the wrong map.

This book argues something far more unsettling—and far more hopeful: that the most powerful nation in human history has been making life‑and‑death decisions from an unhealed traumatic wound, and that the same clinical science that heals individual nervous systems can be used to de‑escalate a superpower.

If you work in policy, wear a uniform, vote, invest, parent, or simply wake up under the reach of American power, you are already living inside this wound’s consequences. The only real question is whether you choose to understand them.

Do not scroll past this.

Once you see how a traumatized nervous system behaves at national scale, you will never read the news—or your country—the same way again.
