What if a TV show helped you see your own story a little more clearly?
Start, Stop, & Start Again is for anyone who found something unexpectedly personal in Ted Lasso, a moment that made you pause, smile, or feel just a bit more understood. It’s for the ones who’ve been craving a deeper dive into the show’s themes of growth, resilience, and emotional honesty.
Through 21 episode-inspired chapters, Start, Stop, & Start Again offers a closer look at how we live, lead, and love through joy, heartbreak, change, and uncertainty. It’s meant to be a companion book. The idea is to watch an episode, then read the chapter. Let the two experiences layer together. You might notice something you missed in the show, and maybe something you hadn’t noticed in yourself, too.
It’s also an exercise in mindfulness. In watching with intention, sitting with the moments that move you, and noticing the layers behind each character and decision. The hope is that, in doing so, you might start to see your own life through a slightly different lens too.
Inside, you’ll
• 21+ meaningful lessons from Season One to help you rebuild joy, courage, and self-trust • Emotional insights and details from the show that reveal what’s happening beneath the surface • Encouraging mantras to return to when life feels heavy or unclear • Simple ways to bring Ted’s mindset into your own everyday moments
So grab a blanket, hit play, and flip the page. Let’s see what Ted and the Richmond team have to teach us.
This is my first book, and it means the world to me that you're here. If the words in these pages resonated with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts, or even make a new Ted Lasso friend or two. You can reach me ajbooks96@gmail.com
Thanks again. I hope this book brings you even a fraction of the joy it brought me to write it.
