Adolfo Sanmartino

Adolfo Sanmartino is a stoic by nature, an entrepreneur, author, and student of human potential whose life embodies the principles he writes about.

Born in Córdoba, Argentina, in 1968 and immigrating to the United States in 1980, Adolfo’s journey from immigrant teenager to successful executive and business owner taught him what textbooks never could: that mental resilience is the foundation of every achievement worth having.

A Career Built on Resilience

Adolfo has built a remarkable career spanning 36 years across multiple industries—from the cruise industry, where he mastered the art of growth hacking and creating unforgettable experiences under intense pressure (from family business to public corporation), to small business ownership, where he learned that success requires both strategic thinking and unshakable discipline. As an executive consultant, he’s helped both businesses and individuals develop the mental toughness and systems thinking required to thrive and grow in competitive markets.

Forged in Real-World Adversity

His expertise in discipline, resilience, and strategic thinking wasn’t learned in classrooms—it was forged through real-world challenges. When the 2008 financial crisis destroyed years of work, Adolfo faced a choice: stay broken or rebuild stronger. He chose the latter, applying the ancient Stoic principles that now form the backbone of Rewire Your Mind, Own Your Time, and The Unshakable Mind. That experience—rebuilding from zero while maintaining inner strength—taught him more about mental resilience than any academic study could.

A Unique Perspective

A Freemason since 2005, Adolfo brings a rare perspective that blends ancient wisdom traditions with modern business pragmatism and psychological insight. His writing spans personal development, emotional intelligence, political analysis, philosophy, and economics—always with an uncompromising emphasis on actionable insights over abstract theory.

Philosophy in Action

Through his books and work, Adolfo shares the frameworks and mindsets that have enabled him to thrive across multiple industries, overcome devastating setbacks, build profitable businesses, and create a life of purpose and meaning. His work is for readers who are done with surface-level motivation and ready for the practical tools that create genuine transformation.

The Core Belief

Adolfo lives his philosophy daily: that discipline is the highest form of self-love, that adversity is the greatest teacher, and that we must master ourselves before we can truly serve others. All his books, including Rewire Your Mind, Own Your Time, and The Unshakable Mind, represent his life’s work—a comprehensive system for developing the mental resilience every person deserves but few ever build.

Beyond the Book

When not writing or consulting, Adolfo is committed to learning by continuously practicing Stoicism, reading, mentoring, and much more. He resides in both the United States and Argentina, splitting his time between the beach and the mountains!

Books in the Making

Works, which are currently in the final stages or just published, include Trump: Against All Odds, The Unshakable Mind, Money Mastery: The Emotionally Intelligent Guide to Financial Freedom, What I have Learned as a Freemason: Forgotten Knowledge Principles, Defending the Indefensible: Antisemitism and the Weaponization of ‘Genocide’,  Think Smart, Feel Wise: The Essential Guide to Mastering Critical Thinking and Emotional Intelligence, The New Axis: Economic Warfare in the 21st Century, A True Love Story and Discipline: The Self Love Paradigm!

Driven by a relentless desire to continually become a better version of myself, I hesitated to step into the spotlight. Yet today, I write with a clear purpose: to help ease someone’s burden with the very lessons that transformed my own life.

Now, as a mental resilience coach, consultant, and thought leader, I’ve mastered the art of overcoming the paralyzing grip of overthinking and self-doubt. By blending personal experience with cutting-edge neuroscience, I empower others with actionable strategies to reclaim clarity and inner strength. In Rewire Your Mind, I share my journey along with the practical tools I developed to break free from destructive thought cycles – so that you, too, can thrive.
