Phil Jones, Jr., an author, coach, and ministry leader, has announced the release of his new book, Captain: 72 Days to Unlock Your Inner Superhero. Published by Lucid Books, the book provides a structured 72-day plan aimed at helping readers enhance self-leadership, build daily habits, and live with purpose.
Described as more than a motivational book, Captain serves as a daily action plan. Each day presents readers with a choice: Seize or Relinquish. Through consistent action and reflection, Jones guides readers on a transformational journey to become the captain of their own lives. 'Captain is a plan,' said Jones. 'If someone follows it for 72 days, I truly believe they cannot help but get results.'
The book challenges readers to take ownership of their decisions, sharpen their vision, build resilience, and embrace courage to create lasting change. By the end of the journey, readers will have developed practical tools for effective self-leadership in all areas of life. Jones emphasizes that change is possible one day at a time.
Jones draws on years of experience in financial planning and pastoral ministry. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from Sam Houston State University and a Master of Divinity from Liberty University. His background gives him a grounded perspective on personal growth, resilience, and legacy.
While Captain is his second completed manuscript, becoming a published author fulfills a long-held dream. 'I have dreamed of writing a book for years and felt like this is what I was supposed to do,' Jones shared. His passion for writing began in fourth grade when his class published a poetry book. 'That was the first time I realized I loved writing,' he said.
Jones faced challenges on his writing journey, including the difficulty of putting himself out there. He drew inspiration from author Og Mandino and adopted a disciplined approach, including a routine he calls 'Bach O'Clock'—going into his office at the same time every day and listening to Bach to focus and create. He describes his writing journey as relentless, disciplined, and transformational—qualities reflected in Captain.
When asked about advice for aspiring authors, Jones said simply, 'Decide, and do it.' He hopes the book inspires readers to stop waiting for change and start leading themselves toward it, one intentional day at a time.
