The goal of this book is to answer the question: "How do we overcome executive loneliness?".
That's what this book is about.
Exposing executive loneliness-and bringing to the forefront an honest discussion about:
- The pressures of being an executive,
- The fact that executive loneliness is actually quite common, though typically hidden, and
- The five primary ways an executive can emerge stronger and better from this difficult place.
Based on his own recovery experience, consultations with mental health experts, conversations with other executives who managed to recover from executive loneliness, and relevant research findings and the literature, as Nick see's it, there are five steps for either recovering from, or totally avoiding, executive loneliness.
This book itself details each of these five steps:
- Taking Stock
- Asking for Help
- Getting Healthy
- Nurturing Healthy Relationships
- Finding Your Purpose
In the chapters dedicated to each step, Nick takes you through his own recovery journey, and provides you with deeply personal insights and perspectives-along with practical and actionable advice.
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 about:
(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.
