The Stoic Morning: How to Win the Day Before It Begins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let me start with a question, and I want you to be honest with yourself, because nobody hears your answer but you. Think about how you actually begin your day. Not the day you wish you had, the one you really have. When you first open your eyes, what happens? Do you reach for your phone before your feet even touch the floor, letting a flood of messages, news, and other people's demands pour into your mind before you have had a single thought of your own? Or do you take a quiet moment, before the
Mastering Anger: How to Cool the Fire Before It Burns Down Your Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let me start with a question, and I want you to be honest with yourself, because nobody hears your answer but you. Think about the last time you truly lost your temper.

Were you dreading something in the future that you had no powe
The Obstacle Becomes the Way: Turning Every Setback Into a Stepping Stone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let me start with a question, and I want you to be honest with yourself, because nobody hears your answer but you. Think about the last big obstacle that landed in your path. The setback at work. The relationship that fell apart. The plan that collapsed right when you thought everything was finally coming together. Now ask yourself something. When that obstacle showed up, what did you decide it was? Did you decide it was proof that you were finished, that the door was closed for good? Or did you
