Openhearted
Here is a curated list of video replays and written resources related to my forthcoming book, Openhearted: Turning Conflict into Connection with a Single Choice (working title), which will be published by Revell in 2026.
Note: My publishing contract prohibits me from making these resources available in their entirety to everyone, with the exception of focus groups and launch teams. If you are a free subscriber and would like to watch the videos in their entirety—or register for a future Human Hour call about openheartedness—we invite you to join our paid community.
I’ve arranged these replays and posts so they best approximate the sequence of the openhearted journey. Enjoy!
