The Thumping

Behind every argument, stressful thought, and regretful act lies fear. Avoiding it isn’t about suppressing our gut feelings, but about learning to separate rational fears from irrational ones.

This book has helped me sleep more soundly, worry less about money, strengthen my influence with clients and colleagues, navigate grief, and steer clear of becoming a grumpy old man. Most importantly, it has helped those closest to me—including my children—build resilience.
