{"product_id":"working-like-a-bolshevik-overmind-publishing-9798189191619","title":"Working Like a Bolshevik: Eight Disciplines from the Soviet Working Tradition","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong before productivity culture had a name, the Bolsheviks were obsessive students of a narrow, practical question: how do ordinary people, under real pressure, get hard things done and keep doing them?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWORKING LIKE A BOLSHEVIK draws that answer out of the historical record and turns it into eight trainable disciplines: will, trust, planning, self-criticism, disciplined effort, frugality, purpose, and legacy. Each chapter grounds its discipline in a real historical case - from Stakhanov's coal face to Gastev's Central Institute of Labour, from the underground network Krupskaya held together by letter to the steel city raised at Magnitogorsk - and then does something most books in this genre don't: it names honestly where that same discipline went wrong, using the tradition's own failures as the warning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a history of the Soviet Union, and it asks for no political agreement. It is a working method, tested at a scale and severity most readers will never face, extracted and made usable for anyone trying to build sustained discipline in their own work and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, you'll find: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Eight named disciplines, each built from a specific historical case and a specific practical exercise\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Honest \"where this fails\" sections for every discipline, so the method can be trusted rather than merely believed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- End-of-chapter exercises mixing reflection and concrete action\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- A closing synthesis tying every failure mode back to one underlying principle: review, honestly and on a schedule, or watch any discipline quietly erode\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you come to this book for the history, the method, or the tradition itself, WORKING LIKE A BOLSHEVIK offers a working philosophy built for people who want to get hard things done - and keep doing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Overmind Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798189191619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Overmind Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50847141593343,"sku":"9798189191619","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/working-like-a-bolshevik-overmind-publishing-9798189191619","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
