Announcing my new book: RISE ABOVE!
Overcome a victim mindset, empower yourself, and realize your full potential.
Hi all, I'm excited to finally announce my new book coming out April 22nd- RISE ABOVE! This book puts together over two decades worth of research on what it takes to live a life full of well-being, creativity, meaning, and self-actualization.
My research has found over and over again that the way we think about our experiences matter more than intelligence, talent, or other metrics we so often treat as synonymous with potential. Do you overcome ambiguous and challenging situations in life constructively and resiliently, or see yourself as a perpetual victim of life, deserving more than others because of it?
This book equips everyone with the tools to overcome a victim mindset and harness what I call an "empowerment mindset". This book has implications for individuals as well as groups, and I don't hold back on anything in this book. I put my heart and soul into it this one and I genuinely hope it helps us all rise above and reach a more transcendent and humanistic society.

Hi Scott, great work! looking forward to your insights... Although I'm probably antagonizing a lot of people by saying that I'm not so thrilled by the word (and in this context probably the concept of) MINDSET... It's so easy to get caught up in the hype and lose sight of what's really important when it comes to our mental health. Our minds are like a kaleidoscope of experiences, learnings, and emotions that are always in motion. Even when we feel like we're at the mercy of circumstances, it's important to remember that we don't have to be defined by those feelings. And hopefully the new book addresses that. As someone who's dedicated their life to understanding the scientific side of things, you have the unique opportunity to take a step back and see things from a different perspective.
