Resonance - by Michael Trainer (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

No matter what your long-term goals are, there's a crucial component of success you can't afford to overlook: meaningful connections.

With this fascinating guide from the creator of Peak Mind, you'll learn to truly resonate--and never miss out on a great connection again.

Life is not a solo performance. Whether personal, professional, or aspirational, our best relationships are the ones that generate resonance--that electric feeling of connecting on a profound level.

From Michael Trainer, co-founder of Global Citizen and creator of the Peak Mind podcast, Resonance reveals why your next level isn't about doing more--it's about being more. Drawing on Trainer's experiences collaborating with luminaries from Neil Young to the Dalai Lama, as well as important sociological research, Resonance offers a comprehensive framework for building person-to-person connections that will enhance your life.

Inside, you'll discover:

• The neuroscience of connection--and why a single conversation can change your life
• The "More" method for awakening the authentic life force that's been buried under your professional persona
• Why vulnerability is your competitive advantage in an AI world that can replicate everything except genuine human connection
• The invisible patterns that turn everyday encounters into soul-shifting experiences
• How to stop networking and start creating a constellation of relationships that amplify your deepest gifts

This isn't just about adding another strategy to your toolkit. It's about discovering that your greatest contribution isn't just what you achieve--it's what you awaken in others. Because when you learn to truly resonate, you don't just change your relationships. You change your destiny.

About the Author

Michael Trainer has spent his life building bridges between worlds--from launching movements that touch billions to sitting in silence with the Dalai Lama. The space between those worlds, that resonance, has become his life's work: What is the music that wants to live between two souls? How do we become instruments for that song?

As cocreator of Global Citizen, Michael designed one of history's most impactful social movements, raising billions in commitments to impact 2.5 billion lives. He united presidents and poets, rock stars and world leaders, bringing Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Coldplay, and 70,000 change makers to Central Park. When Bono called it "a jump in human consciousness," Michael knew they'd cracked the code on something special.

But when his father's fatal illness called for a personal reckoning, he was confronted with mortality and the ultimate questions: We're more connected than ever, yet lonelier than ever. Why? This question sent him from global platforms to intimate conversations. Through his Peak Mind podcast--spanning Super Bowl champions to Nobel laureates, US presidents to the Dalai Lama--Michael discovered what movement-building had taught him: Transformation doesn't scale through systems. It scales through souls recognizing souls.

From Costa Rica to Bali, Michael now guides leaders ready to trade influence for impact, connections for communion, and climbing for depth. Because the movement that matters most is the one that happens between two people, fully present.
