About The Iron Mind Series
The Iron Mind Series is a multi-book program forged in real work, real weather, and real leadership. It rebuilds men from the inside out — discipline first, structure second, purpose always. Each book gives you clean frameworks, field-tested drills, and stories from the rig that translate into everyday power: at home, at work, under pressure.
Mission: To forge men capable of leading themselves and others through structure, discipline, and purpose.
Book I — Structure Over Comfort
This is not another motivational hype book. Structure Over Comfort is a field manual. It starts in the place most men avoid: the moments when you’re tired, distracted, and alone with your choices. D. Adey spent 15+ years drilling wells and leading crews through brutal Canadian winters — where excuses freeze and only discipline keeps you alive. From that world comes a simple promise: you can build a mind that chooses pressure over comfort and becomes stronger for it.
Inside, you’ll put order to your mornings, fight the enemy within, and elevate your standards until discipline is your default. Each chapter ends with Daily Drills — small actions that stack into momentum — and Rig Lessons — real incidents that show how calm wins when chaos hits. By the last page, you’ll stop bargaining with your weaker self and start acting like the man you claim to be.
From Chapter 9 — The Enemy Within
“Discipline isn’t about defeating others — it’s about defeating the weaker version of yourself, every single day.”
