From a renowned psychologist and businessman, learn a fresh, powerful approach to replacing your unhealthy attachments with positive aspirations to unlock your full potential.

Our lives are guided by our attachments. When they're healthy, they offer us security, pleasure, and validation. But for many of us, something has gone awry. We're distracted and sabotaged by these attachments, like control, perfection, or success, which morph into internal conversations that undermine our best selves--ultimately inhibiting our ability to live a full, happy life.
