This book stands on the shoulders of giants. Thank you to the scientists, writers, philosophers, poets, saints, monks, and all the other trailblazers whose work this book stands upon. My wish is for this to be a small contribution to an already strong and enduring lineage of thinking and writing.
While working on this book I kept reflecting on how I wanted the outcome to be something that my son, Theo, could be proud of. So this book is for him.
It is also for all of you.
In the summer of 2019, I began to notice a concerning trend among my coaching clientshigh-ranking executives, successful entrepreneurs, physician leaders, and elite athletes. Whereas I used to spend most of my time with them discussing high-performance habits and routines, over the past few years Id been hearing something else. Im dying for a break, said my client Tim, the chief physician of adult and family medicine at a large health care system. But even when I try to take a single weekend off, I cant seem to go more than a few hours without opening my work email. Logically I know I dont have toand I dont really want tobut I feel compelled to check. To be honest, I become restless and insecure if I dont.
Other clients experience angst when they dont have the proverbial next thing lined up. And even when they do, they worry about falling short. They perceive a deep-seated need to always be pushing toward something, lest they feel a widening gap, a sense of emptiness in their lives. I thought that when I finally secured funding and launched this business Id be content, said Samantha, an entrepreneur at a fast-growing technology company. But I was wrong. And Im a bit worried that if this isnt enough, Im not sure what will be.
Some of my clients also report feeling scattered, if not physically then mentallyspending too much time looking back, planning ahead, second-guessing their decisions, or getting caught up in what-if scenarios. Ive long felt the pull of distraction and Ive long had a tendency to overthink things, explained Ben, the CEO of a large software company. Yet it feels intensified now. Like hyper-distraction. Its harder than ever to be present. I can deal with it; but I dont like it.
Most of these individualsincluding Tim, Samantha, and Benhave been go-getters for as long as they can remember. They are determined and goal-driven, and they care deeply about their work and personal lives. They are no strangers to adversity. The athletes have faced awful injuries. The executives who identify as minorities have faced bias and discrimination. The entrepreneurs have stared down arduous hours. Everyone has dealt with significant stress, especially the physicians, who are confronted with life-and-death situations on a regular basis. And yet, despite overcoming these obstacles, all of my clientsindividuals whom Ive come to admire greatlycontinue to struggle mightily.
