Very helpful as always. I like the addition of exercises and assignments. It gives me ways to think about my own functioning. It also helps me generate ideas about assignments that might be useful when coaching others.

Thanks, Kathleen. I always appreciate your posts. My wife and I discuss them together. Being the captain of my own ship has been my work recently at my work. I also started this habit with my daughter on the way to school. It's like our own catechism. What can you control? Myself. Who's responsible? I am.

I preordered the book and looking forward to it!

Wow, this was the first article I read from you, and I really like the way you write. It's very clear, and concise, and it felt like someone was talking directly too me. Amazing work :)

I loved your post! It really gave me a new outlook as to how I can help myself. Many people say that we are in control of our own thoughts, but sometimes it is a lot easier said than done so I really do appreciate the advice you shared. I also like the list of exercises and assignments!
