Executive Loneliness: The 5 Pathways to Overcoming Isolation, Stress, Anxiety & Depression in the Modern Business World
Part of being an executive is leading companies to success. As such, when an executive is experiencing extreme and prolonged stress, anxiety, isolation, and depression—what I’m calling “executive loneliness”—they often do nothing to address it for fear of appearing unsuccessful.Not addressing it exacerbates the negative and difficult feelings to the point where it becomes more and more difficult for them to function. It takes a toll on their whole life. The reason I know this is that I was an executive who was trapped in serious executive loneliness for several years.Once I managed to emerge, I made it my mission to draw attention to this typically hidden issue. I wrote this book to bring to the forefront an honest discussion
(1) the pressures of being an executive,
(2) the fact that executive loneliness is actually quite common, though typically hidden, and
(3) the five primary ways an executive can emerge stronger from this difficult place.
Executive loneliness is an incredibly serious condition and, in some cases, fatal. If you suspect that you, yourself, or someone you know is suffering executive loneliness, please read this book to begin the journey of emerging back into the light.

This book is a story of the human challenges of who we are, how we can embrace our shadows, work through them and find the light within.
Conversations of mental health are often a taboo in the professional world, yet Nick's courage to share his personal journey of the most vulnerable moments with humbling, yet inspiring authenticity brings awareness to the raw emotions we feel. The detailed processes shared provide hope and practical support to executives that may otherwise suffer in silence.
As an Inner Child Integration Therapist, Coach, Mentor and Trainer I can vouch for the importance of processing our unprocessed emotions so we can transform our lives, as I've witnessed this in myself and that of many others.
Must read for all executives who want to find a way forward.

This an inspiring book well written by Nick to discuss a topic that is often swept under the carpet. Through his own personal journey, Nick explains how to overcome the challenges we all face as leaders. The practical steps provided is something that you can immediately put into practice. Nick has fearlessly opened the topic for discussion and has removed the stigma associated with this by being authentic and openly discussing the challenges as well as providing a pathway to deal with it.
