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 my 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 I see 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 steps, Nick takes you through his own recovery journey, providing you with deeply personal insights and perspective—as well as practical, actionable advice.
