As BOOST becomes available for pre-order, I have been reflecting again on the experience that started it all.

Twenty years ago, I learned a lesson that changed the way I live and ultimately became the reason this book exists.

At the time, life seemed to be moving in all the right directions. I was starting a new job, moving in with my now-wife and her children, and embracing an exciting new chapter. But it was also a period filled with a lot of pressure, constant change, and uncertainty.

Like many high achievers I kept telling myself: “Let’s get through all of this first and I’ll rest later.”

One morning I woke up with what looked like a simple eye infection, but within days that minor infection had spread throughout my body and landed me in the hospital for two weeks.

My body had reached its limit.

Looking back, the warning signs had been there for a long time.

I just wasn't listening.

At the time, I believed productivity was about managing my time better. But my problem wasn't time. My problem was energy.

That experience started a journey that changed how I approach work, health, relationships, and life itself. Instead of pushing harder, I began paying attention to what gives me energy and what drains it.

I started experimenting with small changes. Not only adding practices that renewed my energy, but also letting go of habits, distractions, and expectations that were quietly depleting it. More mindfulness, but also fewer unnecessary commitments and less pressure to be "on" all the time.

None of them were dramatic. But together, they transformed my life. The result wasn't just more energy. It was better focus, stronger relationships, greater fulfillment, and a much more sustainable way of working and living.

The lessons I learned from that experience and from the years that followed inspired me to write BOOST - Energize Your Life One Small Step at a Time.

Inside, I share stories, tools, and practical ideas that have helped me and many others create lasting change through small, consistent actions.

Today, I'm excited to share that BOOST is now available for pre-order.

If this message resonates with you, I would be grateful for your support. Pre-orders make a huge difference for authors and help more readers discover the book.
