The goal of this book is to answer the question: "How do we overcome executive loneliness?".
That's what this book is about.
Exposing executive loneliness-and bringing to the forefront an honest discussion about:
- The pressures of being an executive,
- The fact that executive loneliness is actually quite common, though typically hidden, and
- The five primary ways an executive can emerge stronger and better from this difficult place.
Based on his own recovery experience, consultations with mental health experts, conversations with other executives who managed to recover from executive loneliness, and relevant research findings and the literature, as Nick see's it, there are five steps for either recovering from, or totally avoiding, executive loneliness.
This book itself details each of these five steps:
- Taking Stock
- Asking for Help
- Getting Healthy
- Nurturing Healthy Relationships
- Finding Your Purpose
In the chapters dedicated to each step, Nick takes you through his own recovery journey, and provides you with deeply personal insights and perspectives-along with practical and actionable advice.

World-leading cardiologist and 3-time International Bestselling author, Doctor Warrick Bishop is going to teach us about heart attack awareness and prevention in this book
Did you know that in just 1 year you can reduce your risk of a heart attack?
A number of years ago, a patient Dr. Warrick treated, wasn’t informed about heart attack prevention…
He died from a heart attack, on the side of the road, and Dr. Warrick felt responsible for his death which ultimately leads to his work in heart attack prevention.
Dr. Warrick was driving to work one day when he stopped at some commotion by the side of the road.
A runner had collapsed on the road from a heart attack.
Dr. Warrick tried to resuscitate the man but he died.
After trying to resuscitate this man, Dr. Warrick realized, in shock and horror that this was a patient that he had spoken with a few years back.
A couple of years before this incident, Dr. Warrick had reassured this man, after a series of tests, that he didn’t have to worry about a heart attack.
In hindsight, Dr. Warrick realized that he could have saved this mans life if he had to know more about heart attack prevention.
This experience started him on a journey to inform and help the world prevent heart attacks…
By using both advocacy and the latest in emerging technologies for earlier detection and assessment of those at risk for heart attack.
If you or someone you know is near the age of 40, have a family history of heart attacks, or are worried about a heart attack then you should read this book…
It just may save your life or the life of somebody you love.
Doomadgee had been run for forty-three years by the Exclusive Brethren, originally the Plymouth Brethren who came down through the Gulf to Doomadgee. They established the mission with the help of the Queensland Government. Very quickly took over all aspects of the lives of the aboriginal people. Men and women were sent out to stations to work, children were put in girls' and boys' dormitories. The only ones left in the community were the older men and women and the missionaries. Life under the missionaries was harsh and controlled. It was aimed at keeping everyone abiding by the rules! The children were the ones who suffered the most, as sometimes they only saw their parents once a year. The parents' wages were kept by the missionaries and doled out in dribs and drabs. If the missionaries purchased clothing for the residents, such as jeans, shirts or dresses, that amount was deducted from their wages. They were not allowed to buy their own clothes or gear. It was a closed community, as far as the missionaries were concerned and there were strict rules. No tobacco, no music, no grog, and the locals had to get permission to do anything from marrying to how much money they were allowed.
Have You Planned Your Heart Attack? is not the next optimistic, self-help, heart disease reversal, low carb, cure-all approach to health. Believing that prevention is better than cure, it presents a proactive approach to cardiac disease prevention. It is the first-of-its-kind, offering a balanced and referenced discussion of coronary risk assessment using modern technology.
Taking a picture of the coronary arteries using CT to see the health of the arteries is not new; it just isn't being done routinely. Yet, by using these advances you can be ahead of the game about your own cardiovascular health. Wouldn’t you want to know, rather than guess, if the single biggest killer in the Western world was lurking inside of you?
We all know friends and family members who have suffered a heart attack, who live with angina or endure shortness of breath. A disease has developed. This book explores how we might be able to prevent the disease, especially a heart attack, from occurring in the first place.
Treatment for risk, prior to an event, is primary prevention – the focus of Have You Planned Your Heart Attack?.
Until recent times, primary prevention largely involved treatment of the unknown. Historically, risk assessment has been based on a number of factors observed in a population (or number of people). This observational data includes increasing age, being male, increased blood pressure and smoking. Now, today’s technology also allows us to look at the health of an individual’s coronary arteries in exquisite detail.
The use of CT imaging, before the onset of a problem, is a paradigm shift in the conventional management of heart disease.
Although formalised guidelines or recommendations do not exist for some of the issues covered in the book, a logical and systematic approach based on the science that is available today allows us to looking more broadly at our understanding, and application, of preventative cardiology.
Image information, combined with the information gained from the historically-used traditional risk factors, allow specialists, general practitioners and patients to be ahead of the development of coronary artery disease so that measures to reduce risk can be implemented. Although cardiac CT imaging has been readily available for the past five to 10 years, it has not been broadly taken up.
The hope from this book is to begin a conversation which ultimately increases utilisation of cardiac CT imaging, in combination with other risk factor evaluation, to improve primary prevention for coronary artery disease. Its vision is that imaging will be incorporated into a more holistic approach, thus improving the way we deal with the potential risk many individuals carry in regard to coronary artery disease. As this technology becomes more familiar to the community, then its use could be at the coalface for general practitioners who are, by virtue of their position in providing medical care, the custodians of preventative medicine.
As we are comfortable with mammography, pap smears, measuring cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels, could we see cardiac CT imaging as one of the tools available for widespread implementation in public policy?
For change to occur, we need conversation followed by action. The information offered throughout this book is accompanied by an invitation to be part of that conversation. Criticism and controversy are healthy parts of vigorous conversation, as too, are vision, passion and an enthusiasm for possibility. If this book starts such conversation that opens doors to further evaluation, and discussion – and along the way improves medicine and saves lives – then that is a good start.
