Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Good intentions matter. They just do not protect us from poor judgment.In Patterns, Pressure, & Poor Judgment, Christopher James Fleming examines the gap between the man he believed himself to be and the choices, assumptions, fears, loyalties, and blind spots that shaped his life under pressure.This is not a book of easy advice or polished answers. It is reflective nonfiction built from lived experience, self-examination, and the uncomfortable work of looking honestly at what good motives could not prevent. Fleming explores how confidence can outrun self-knowledge, how family history keeps influencing the present, how attraction can be mistaken for alignment, how pride can disguise itself as principle, and how regret can feel like change without actually producing it.With direct language, humor, and accountability, the book asks readers to look beyond intention and examine structure: what they believe, what they repeat, what they avoid, and what their choices are actually producing.For anyone who has ever meant well, tried hard, and still had to face the consequences of what they did not yet understand. A candid examination of how good intentions, pressure, blind spots, family patterns, and poor judgment shape a life-and what honest self-examination requires when reality starts talking back.
