COURAGE TO RETREAT: A Deliberate Act of Being, Doing and Having Copertina flessibile – 26 agosto 2024
Opzioni di acquisto e componenti aggiuntivi
‘Courage to Retreat’ explores how we’ve become focused on constant action and chasing external validation. This endless chase gradually diminishes our sense of self and often sacrifices well-being, inner satisfaction and real connections.
Through storytelling, the book illustrates how various characters respond to life's pressures and societal expectations. Each chapter offers perspectives and resources to pause, reflect and reconnect with our essential selves.
“Courage to Retreat deals with a fundamentally important theme of our times: navigating the stresses and strains of our increasingly busy lives and the many externally imposed pressures to 'succeed'. The book holds the reader's attention through storytelling, drawing on how various characters respond to these pressures. It powerfully sets up the case for personal retreat and reflection to rediscover our true selves and place in the world.”
-Paddy Coyne, Former Vice President, Shell and Former Chair of IMD Executive Education Advisory Council
"This book is a life companion, offering the wisdom of many life coaches from around the world in one place. It sparks contemplation and self-discovery, inspires you to prioritize what truly matters, and holds genuine value in life.”
-Marieke Bulkmans, Head of HR, Airbus in the Netherlands
“This book is a must-read for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the demands of their professional life or struggling to maintain meaningful relationships amidst their ambitions.”

4,0 su 5 stelle A powerful wake-up call
I learned from this book that it's actually a wise move to take a step back rather than showing weakness. It all comes down to making space for what really counts rather than blindly rushing forward. The observations may appear simple, yet they have a deeper meaning.

5,0 su 5 stelle Leadership Culture: The Hidden Force Behind Organizational Success
The truth about organizational culture often goes unnoticed, but it resonated deeply with me in Courage to Retreat. It’s not the broad concept of “organizational culture” that defines a company, but rather the leadership culture—shaped by the attitudes, decisions, and behaviors of those at the top. This book weaves a gripping storyline with research findings, urging leaders to reexamine how their actions create ripples throughout the organization.
The narrative struck a personal chord with me, especially as someone who has witnessed the damaging effects of toxic leadership. I found myself particularly moved by Lisa's story—after being forced to step back due to a destructive leader, she finds new purpose and energy under the guidance of a human-centric leader. This shift serves as a poignant reminder of how deeply leadership can influence not just a company’s trajectory, but the personal well-being of its people.
The reflection questions challenged me to reassess my own leadership style and beliefs. It’s not just a book to read—it’s a guide to self-exploration, especially for someone like me who holds a position of influence. It’s inspired me to create a culture that uplifts, empowers, and nurtures those around me, rather than diminishing them.

MR LEIGH S ADAMSRecensito nel Regno Unito il 19 marzo 2025
5,0 su 5 stelle A Very interesting insight into life and how it fits in with the corporate world.
I really enjoyed the story telling process in the book. Having been there myself I understand the balance required to keep yourself aligned to your values at home and work and to have to juggle all those balls at the same time.
It is often difficult to achieve and you normally lack in one area or another. The stories talk about the changes in Jacks behaviour and his adoption of his bosses attitude causing fiction with workers that once were full of trust. These things happen, it is hard to stray away from it and being the person in between the good news and the bad news is a hard place to be.
A good leader should protect their people but unfortunately someone has to also deliver and decide the bad news that everyone has to follow when companies are not performing or they need to do better.
So this story hits deep and makes you think about the choices you make, because get it wrong and it impacts your life in too many ways.

5,0 su 5 stelle An Inspiring Book - Definitely Worth the Read!
As someone who has always been on the go, striving for progress yet never quite arriving, this book was a breath of fresh air. It taught me that sometimes, the most courageous act is to pause, reflect, and reassess.
The author's approach to redefining success by emphasizing being over doing resonated deeply with me. It's not just about achieving more but understanding what truly matters. This book helped me identify the unnecessary clutter in both my professional and personal life. I was surprised at how liberating it felt to let go of things that I thought I couldn't live without.
What I appreciated most about this book is its practical guidance intertwined with philosophical insights. The exercises suggested were easy to implement yet profoundly impactful. For instance, the meditation practices helped me find a sense of inner peace I had never experienced before, making each day feel more intentional and fulfilling.
In a world that constantly demands more of us, Courage to Retreat is a gentle reminder that it's okay to step back. For those caught in the cycle of perpetual motion without direction, this book offers a transformative journey toward living a more deliberate and content life.
