Art of Grey Area Thinking: Helping Young People Fight Extremism, Manipulation, and Abuse
I wrote this for the women of Iran who are fighting for basic human rights against a regime. I wrote this for the people of Ukraine to help them fight Russian propaganda. I wrote this to empower exhausted political moderates who spent the last decade watching the far-left and far-right tear apart Western society.

And although I am not a mental health professional, many of my readers have informed me that this book has allowed them to process the abuse and manipulation they faced and heal. There are striking similarities between the manipulations used by both regime states and abusive individuals. Therefore, I also wrote this book for those who struggle against toxic people.

The "Art of Grey Area Thinking" teaches readers how to process chaos. It teaches readers how to navigate ambiguities where the hard rules of black-and-white thinking are irrelevant and harmful.

Grey area thinking is striving to do the right thing, in the right way, at the right time, in the right amount, for the right reasons, and with respect to our limits.

An individual who masters grey-area thinking becomes an exceptional analyst, problem solver, strategist, and decision-maker. The side effects? That individual also becomes far more resistant to psychological abuse and extremist influence.

While not all black-and-white thinking is bad, toxic black-and-white thinking is a core value of extremist groups across every ideology. I don't think I have to elaborate on how big of a problem extremism is around the globe. We must teach young people about grey-area thinking to counter this ever-growing threat. The "Art of Grey Area Thinking" provides the tools and framework for future generations to destroy extremist influence.

About the Author

Jimmy from The Good Fight survived a mass shooting. He escaped from a cult. He came back from a suicide attempt and beat bipolar disorder without medication. Jimmy documented the Yazidi Genocide in Iraq. and served as a wartime humanitarian in Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion.

Through these ordeals, Jimmy discovered the power of grey area thinking and has some lessons to share and a story to tell.


Aby was the best editor I could have asked for. She brought much-needed British discipline to the Art of Grey Area Thinking. Any language or grammar issue with the Art of Grey Area Thinking should reflect the author.

Aby made the changes but Jimmy insisted on changing them back because he had this crazy idea about hypnotizing his readers using simple, repetitive language. (Hey, Trump did it.)


Ulyana is a Ukrainian student currently living in Kharkiv. Kharkiv is 15-20 miles away from Russian frontlines. At one point, it was under Russian control, and they committed unspeakable atrocities while occupying Ulyana's home. Ulyana designed my cover under daily Russian bombardment and frequent blackouts.


Dmytro (Dmitri) Soloviov is a Ukrainian artist currently living in Italy with his family. Many years ago, he was friends with current Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Young Zelensky was first starting out his comedy career.

They parted ways after Dmitri almost got his future president killed in a reckless driving incident.
