The change of location, the new job, the therapy, the publishers, quitting the PhD: they had all happened once I took up meditation. Was it possible that just sitting still twice a day could bring order to a disordered psychophysiology, and regulate a dysregulated life? On top of that, in fits and starts, my skin was getting better.

In my coaching, I found several things: I repeatedly see the same core issues in nearly every company, and I work with my mentees to address them. While there are many books out there with excellent and relevant knowledge for founding CEOs, there is no single book that is a compendium of all the things CEOs need to learn. Becoming a great CEO requires training. For a founding CEO, there is precious little time to get that training, especially if the company is succeeding.

The power of context also reveals an important strategy: habits can be easier to change in a new environment. It helps to escape the subtle triggers and cues that nudge you toward your current habits. Go to a new place—a different coffee shop, a bench in the park, a corner of your room you seldom use—and create a new routine there.
