I heard his interview on NPR, and then I almost gave up on the book because it was slow. I’m glad I didn’t though. It was perfect to push me while I got some running in, and I know the strategies will help me and my family shift our emotions more smoothly for our life performance. Especially loved ‘whoop’, using sensory bundles to reset strategically, and the faith in self efficacy to respond and redirect our emotional trajectories.
