The Knot<\/strong>, Problems Can Be Solved<\/a><\/em>, will be available in September.<\/p>\n

And this week, I\u2019m launching a video course that covers the ideas in the book. You can find the course, and how to get it at no extra cost, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re surrounded by problems. Problems create the arc of our days, and solving them creates value for ourselves and for others. There are big problems, the ones that are on a grand stage, and local problems, related to our career, our peers or our projects. If it\u2019s a problem, it can be solved.<\/p>\n

The best reason for me to publish a book is to help inspire conversations and the momentum that leads to change. Books give us an excuse to engage, and they create a portable bundle of ideas that are easy to share.<\/p>\n

Several hundred people have already read and listened to the book, and the conversations it\u2019s creating (and the stuck that\u2019s disappearing) are thrilling to see.<\/p>\n

In talking with folks over the last year and a half, the same theme returns\u2013the frustration of being stuck. We see our world changing and feel the tension, but it\u2019s easy to lose sight of what we can do and how we can show up to make an impact.<\/p>\n

Without a doubt, there are situations everywhere. Situations are uncomfortable and unhappy, but they have no solution. We can\u2019t do anything about a situation, so our best course of action is to acknowledge it and get back to work on the problems we can solve instead. Gravity is a situation, getting to the moon and back is a problem.<\/p>\n

My approach to bringing this book to the world is to give booksellers the confidence they need to support it by enrolling as many pre-orders as I can. By creating digital interactions and courses, I\u2019m giving readers a chance to engage with the ideas now, and then receive the book\/audiobook when it ships in September.<\/p>\n

I appreciate your trust, and I hope you find the book and the course useful.<\/p>\n
