Constraint Rationalism: Reality-Bound Creation

Constraint Rationalism
REALITY-BOUND CREATION

By Erick Paul

A Reality-Based Workbook for Artists, Creators, Builders, Business People, Students, Parents and the Overwhelmed
This isn't another book about dreaming bigger.
It's a book about doing what matters - inside the limits you live with now.

Constraint Rationalism is a new approach to progress, rooted in rational action. It rejects hype and hustle culture. It replaces vague goals with constraint-aware clarity. It helps you use what you've got - your real time, energy, tools, and limitations - and make something with them.

Inspired by Ayn Rand's Objectivism, this workbook keeps her core principle - that reason is man's basic tool of survival - but pushes it further.
It says: your constraints aren't barriers - they're the facts of your context. And facts are what you build with.

Inside, you'll learn to:
- Identify and harness your constraints (instead of avoiding them)
- Turn limits into creative leverage
- Replace fantasy goals with real, repeatable action
- Build systems that match your time, energy, and reality
- Move forward - even when conditions aren't ideal

Includes practical templates, real-life case studies, and constraint experiments you can run today.

Short enough to finish in one sitting.
Deep enough to change how you work - with what you have now.
