Acceptance is not approval. It is not resignation. It is the discipline of seeing what's actually in front of you so you can act on it instead of arguing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut you can't narrow a gap you won't name.

His clients include Mayo Clinic, Cisco, Allstate, and FedEx, and his programs have been ranked number one by Training Magazine on its list of top learning and development programs in the world. He has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and on Fox News.Mike holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and a Master's in Counseling Psychology - a combination that shapes how he works. He brings cognitive behavioral foundations into plain language without ever sounding like a therapist, and he brings hard-edged clarity into personal development without ever sounding like a hack. His first book, Leadership Isn't for Cowards, gave senior leaders a framework for making the difficult calls their roles require.Navigating Crazy turns that same directness toward everyone else - the teacher, the parent, the CEO, the person in the middle of a hard week. It argues that most of what people call stress, overwhelm, or dissatisfaction is the friction between misaligned expectations and the refusal to accept circumstances as they are, and it offers a clear, practical discipline for narrowing that gap. Mike lives in Fountain Hills, Arizona with his wife, Laura.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Mike Staver \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":48791251091613,"sku":"9798318844805","price":19.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_9db33594-bb4a-4fc7-b778-d7b5d4171d90.jpg?v=1786550904","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/navigating-crazy-how-to-live-and-work-sanely-in-an-insane-world-9798318844805","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
