  • How to Detach From Work Before It Destroys Your Life | Dr. Guy Winch

    How to Detach From Work Before It Destroys Your Life | Dr. Guy Winch
    Jan 5 2026

    Guy Winch reveals that when you're stressed at work, your partner at home can actually start developing symptoms of burnout themselves, even if they don't work. The most surprising truth? Your workday doesn't end when you close your laptop. It ends when you stop thinking about work, and most people never truly clock out. He exposes why relaxation alone won't recharge you after mental exhaustion and shares the counterintuitive actions that actually restore your energy. This isn't just about surviving your job. It's about reclaiming the parts of yourself you've been amputating one by one while everyone around you suffers the spillover.

    Guy’s books:

    • Emotional First Aid
    • The Squeaky Wheel
    • How to Fix a Broken Heart (TED Books)
    • Mind Over Grind

    In this episode you will:

    • Break free from rumination that keeps you stuck in fight-or-flight mode hours after work by converting your emotional spiral into a solvable problem with a simple three-step process
    • Uncover the shocking truth about why relaxation is only 50 percent of what you need to recover from burnout, and what recharging activities will actually fill your battery
    • Discover why your unhealed wounds are making you choose unhealthy relationships at work and home, and the exact moment you need to look in the mirror instead of blaming others
    • Transform how you think about stress by understanding that your job isn't stressful all the time, it has stressful moments, and this one reframe can dramatically lower your cortisol levels
    • Master the psychological ritual that trains your brain to detach from work mode, using all five senses to create a transition your nervous system will recognize instantly

  • YOU Are Your Greatest Asset | Eric Thomas

    YOU Are Your Greatest Asset | Eric Thomas
    Jan 2 2026

    Eric “ET” Thomas reveals the brutal truth he learned living homeless in Detroit: your greatest enemy isn't the world against you, it's you against yourself. He shares the moment he looked in the mirror and apologized to himself for the choices that led him to abandoned buildings and survival mode, and how that single act of taking ownership changed everything. This isn't about positive thinking or motivation. It's about taking back the keys to your life and refusing to give anyone else power over your future. Whether you're stuck in a good life that feels empty or drowning in circumstances you didn't choose, ET shows you how to stop blaming and start building the life you were meant to live. The path forward starts the moment you realize you are your greatest asset, and everything you need is already inside you.

    ET’s books:

    • The Secret to Success
    • Greatness Is Upon You: Laying the Foundation
    • Greatness Is Upon You: Abandoning Average and Seizing Greatness
    • Greatness Is Upon You: How Sacrifice and Humility Positioned Me for Greatness
    • Greatness 21 (Character Bootcamp Book 1)
    • You Owe You: Ignite Your Power, Your Purpose, and Your Why

    In this episode you will:

    • Unlock your greatest potential by investing in yourself first before chasing external assets, careers, or relationships
    • Discover why taking full ownership of your life is the only path to freedom, even when others have genuinely hurt you
    • Transform your relationship with yourself by becoming your own first best friend before seeking validation from others
    • Break through the victim mindset that keeps you powerless by recognizing you are the common denominator in every situation
    • Master the difference between fact-based and feeling-based decisions that will determine whether you thrive or survive

  • How to Rewire Your Mind in 63 Days | Dr. Caroline Leaf

    How to Rewire Your Mind in 63 Days | Dr. Caroline Leaf
    Dec 31 2025
    Dr. Caroline Leaf reveals that depression and anxiety aren't diseases; they're messengers trying to tell you something important. For nearly four decades, she's proven through rigorous neuroscience research that your mind controls your brain, not the other way around, and that you have far more power over your mental health than you've been told. She breaks down why the chemical imbalance theory is a myth, how traumatic experiences literally change the structure of your brain, and most importantly, how you can reverse that damage through deliberate mind management. You'll learn the exact five-step neurocycle process she's used with everyone from traumatic brain injury survivors to Navy SEALs to help them reclaim control of their thoughts and emotions. This isn't about positive thinking or pretending everything's fine, it's about embracing your pain, processing it systematically, and reconceptualizing your past so it stops controlling your future.Dr. Leaf’s books:Switch on Your BrainThink & Eat Yourself SmartThe Perfect YouThink Learn SucceedSwitch on Your Brain Every Day101 Ways to Be Less StressedCleaning Up Your Mental MessHow to Help Your Child Clean Up Their Mental MessIn this episode you will:Break through the myth that you're stuck with a broken brain by learning how to direct your own neuroplasticity in just 63 daysUnderstand the exact five step neuro cycle process that reduces anxiety and depression by 81% through deliberate mind managementDiscover why your depression and anxiety are actually helpful warning signals, not brain diseases that need to be medicated awayTransform traumatic memories from toxic patterns that control you into wisdom that serves your growth and helps othersMaster the daily practice of brain building that creates mental resilience and protects you from falling back into dark patternsFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1870For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Dr. Marc BrackettDr. Joe DispenzaDr. Daniel Amen Get more from Lewis!

Greene is like a mentor to me and this book ,like all others by him,is an absolute masterpiece (he's a master himself!). Everyone should read the book to end up becoming the best version of themselves later in life(after going through the process). best time to read it would be in the early working life or about to start it.
